Default Loading 2 ATV's on to a tilt bed trailer?

sewerrat if you have a trailer and it has side rail's on the front and side of the trailer , you could take it to any good of shop that does welding ; and have them build you one of those air gate's ! The gate's are constructed from metal tubing with a layer of crossmesh steel welded to the gate ,then they weld 3 hinge's to the rear of trailer and 3 to the rear of the gate , then they use a long peice of round metal rod that slide's through the hinge's and either drill's hole's at each end of the rod to get a big cotter pin in the taped mhole's ; or they could just tak weld the 2 outer end
s of the rocd with welder just enough to keep the metal rod from vibratting out the hinge's that hold the gate on ! Then they weld 2 hinge's to each siide of the top of the trailer rail's ! and with the gate raised they mark the gate where it will mesh with the top of each side of the trailer's top rail , Then weld the 2 hinge's to the marked side of the gate then you can use hitch Pin's 'for the corner's to keep the gate up with the hitch pin's ! When loading up just pull the pin's so you can lower the gate , ride the ATV's on the trailer , strap them down then raise the gate and snap the hitch pin's in their hole's and you're raedy to go ! I have a home made trailer i built with my cousin's help that's look's and work's as good as any store bought trailer ; the total cost including giving my cousin $25.00 for help and my material's : Total cost was $175.00 and it has 15" white spoked wheel's and tire's ! I've seen these same trailer's about 5 mile's down the road from where i live a guy i know get's over $600.00 for Single trailer that hold's ony one ATV , and $1200.00 to $1400.00 for the double Trailer's ! He does a good job and they're worth more than the one's they sell at Lowes or Home Depot , and most of the trailer's Lowes And Home Depot sell only have those small 12" to 13" wheel's and tire's and most of them you have to put the floor kit and your own side rail's on them and they sell them for almost as much as the guy i was typing about that live's close to me ! Good luck sewerrat on what ever you deside to do , and everyone on the forums have a good week and a good weekend as well ! .............................
