Thanks. Trailer is not wide enough to load without the quads up on the rail...

Do you know how the quads being up on the rail will affect the trailers ability to trail my truck alright??

If you want to get a little creative:

Get four 2x8x6' or four 2x10x6'. Bolt them across the top of the trailers side rails - one board across the very front, one across the very back and the other two side by side across the middle. Use a ramp to drive each ATV on top of the planks from the side. Tie them down very well. Even better - get a bigger trailer.

Or, take two planks, each at least 5' long. Place one end of one plank on the trailer deck with the plank resting on the front rail of the trailer - it will be at an angle pointing up over the tongue of the trailer. Put the second plank in a similar position - both planks should be the same distance from the center of the trailer and the same distance apart as the width of an ATV. If you use 5' long planks then have 3' of the plank over the trailer and 2' overhanging the tongue. Drive the first ATV onto the trailer and up on to the two planks. Since you will now have about 5' of trailer available behind the first quad, drive the second quad onto the back part of the trailer. Strap them down really well. Even better - get a bigger trailer.

In checking the post dates I'll hope that since October of last year you got another trailer.
