Default Can I squeeze 3 Quads on a 7'x8' trailer?

Without having all three quads or the trailer to check fitment I ask you all this. Could you fit a 400, 250, and an 80 size quad on a 7'X8" Worthington trailer?? I have no clue

It would all depend on the exact quads to go in the trailer, but my guess is no. Remember even if they fit does the trailer have enough weight capacity to handle the load.

Your right Rider77, I checked Worthington's website and although the trailer has a GVWR of 2200 they are claiming it is a two machine trailer. I figured as much...I'll have to find a bigger trailer for my future plans I guess.

If all 3 fit, and the combined weight is under 2200 lbs, then your good. That means the trailer can weigh no more then 2200 lbs when loaded

I have a 10'x102" Wide trailer and I am really pushing the limits deck wise, not to mention load rating. One good bump and I could lose them all. My advice, get a Kaufman open car hauler and side load.

You may have to put the 80 up on the hind wheels in the very front, more on the tonque than in the box. Its light enough to toss around and stick it where it fits.
Your bigger quads are probably in the 300-500lb range so you will be OK weight wise.

A full sized quad that is a 4x4 is going to be 600 or more. A sport model around 400 and the kids machine probably 250-ish, depending on make/model. Either way, the 4x4 is going to be slightly under 4 ft wide. Sport under 4 ft as well. That pretty much eats up your deck. The kids quad is going to have to be on top of something. Frankly if you are going to buy a trailer anyway, go big. My 10x12 snowmobile trailer was around $900 new. All aluminum. A few years back, but they have not gone up all that much. Mine is a load rite.

One of my friends needed more room on his trailer for a kid's ATV. He welded a 2" trailer hitch receiver to the back of the trailer and used a hitch hauler cargo carrier. It wasn't as good as a bigger trailer but it worked for him until he did get one.

That would work I guess. In my case the trailer is aluminum and it would not take it according to the manufacturer. I really only needed a few inches to make it safe, but when I posed the question to them they highly discouraged it. I also asked if I could move the axle forward and add a second axle to gain more carrying capacity, they poo-pooed that idea too. I guess they wanted ot sell me another larger 8x12 trailer. Sorry guys, I now have a raptor toy hauler to carry all of them in.
