Default ATV loading ideas

Alright, to make things simple i got a 38½ ft. long toy hauler with a 12 ft. long garage. I need some loading techniques to fit a 650 Kawaski Brute Force, a 250 Arctic Cat, a 450 Wolverine, and a 650 Outlander...Anybody have some ideas on how to get these in here without tipping one of the 4x4's up? The closest i came was putting the wolverine on the left, its front bumper facing out, and put ramps on the front tires..Then pulled the Outlander up backwards on the ramps..it was off by like 3 inches. The Brute Force and the Arctic cat fit nicely on the right of those...Now that i typed an essay can anybody give me some ideas how to fit them? Any way to get them in without taking parts off is fine.

Hmm, I would think those should all fit flat on the floor in there. Have you tried taping off the garage dementions on your driveway and move your atv's around in that. It might be easier than banging around in the trailer.

So you're saying that you can fit two quads in side by side and that the 650 BF and the 250 AC will fit in end to end?

Since you were so close with the Outlander on the ramps on the Wolverine idea, how about raising the back of the Wolverine up on some short ramps to get some angle on it - reducing it's front to back length. Then try the ramp on the wheels trick again - could be enough to get that 3" to make it fit.

I've had to do the same thing with my 12' garage. I have 4 atv's (listed below). I just had to solve the puzzle by putting them in in different order, forward, backward, with different wheelers........... It took some time but, I finally found a plan that worked. However, Jaybeecon has a good idea.....

Yea i thought of that i just never put it to the test...My alternative was to build a rig that hooked to the back of the garage and was just slightly higher than the wolverine, like a bar to set the ramps on...But i'll give that a shot, dont see why it wouldn't. Thanks =)

They are still pretty long. It just took patience and placing them in different orders/combinations and directions.

Oh, okay, & thanks. I thought (hoped) it was something like a little dolly that helped you shuffle things around.
