Loading ramps used as mounts for Hauling?

I guess the one thing I noticed you saying that you wanted a fold up trailer for was because you have no place to store, meaning you have no garage. I think very few people actually do that, they just store their trailer outside and put some sort of lock on it to deter theives. I honestly would just look through your local craigslist or even check local trailer dealers for used trailers. For under $1000, you should be able to find a trailer in good shape that will safely haul your atvs and be able to be used for many years. Weight shouldn't be a problem either since you said you had a Tundra so you don't have to search for a very lightweight trailer as if say you were towing with a car or minivan which might only be able to tow maybe 1500 lbs. Something like this would be great, im sure you can find one like it near you to be able to haul 2 atvs https://semo.craigslist.org/tro/d/tr...585450429.html

I had a trailer just like that myself about 15 years ago. Instead of a rear gate, it had steel ramps that slid into a channel that doubled as the rear gate. I think it was a foot shorter, believe it was a 5x13. Still long enough to haul 2 large atvs. I remember paying about $800 for it brand new at a local dealer. Probably would be about twice that now for the same trailer brand new. The dealer still exists but they don't sell trailers anymore. They used to sell both commercial lawn equipment and trailers, now its just lawn equipment.

Sorry, been a few weeks. I cannot store a trailer outside my house. I will get a ticket. I have to be able to put it away somewhere. I have a garage, but I do not have room in there either. Between musical equipment, and bikes, and the quads, I cannot fit a trailer in there. I was basically looking for a cheap solution to tow 2 small/medium sized quads. The folding trailer seemed like the answer. The only other solution would be a trailer that I can stand up on its side while its not in use and store along the exterior garage wall. Maybe I can mount some kind of pulley system to hang it from the eaves. =) Trying to be creative without being crazy/dangerous.

Simple solution if u want to stand it up. I would stand it on its side just for ease of getting it maneuvered. You could mount a couple of eyes into the garage wall outside in a stud. Put a ****** block in the middle and use your atv to lift into place. Then use some chains on the other eyes to secure it..

Storage still isn't an option? There's a place a few miles from my house where I could rent a storage unit big enough to at least hold a folding trailer and ATV, or maybe a non-folding trailer. I would have to buy a good lock for the door but otherwise they're ready to move into. If you ride the same area all the time, storage near there would keep you from having to tow all the way.

Kendon makes a trailer that would fit my needs exactly, except that its $3,500!

These ones I could probably stand up against the wall:

Most of the HF style folding trailers are no longer sold. I heard it has something to due with the wheels/tires that were maybe not rated properly. Not sure though...

The folding trailer I found looked like it would be close to perfect, but it costs $2,789. It has 12 welded-in-place stake pockets so you could put side rails on it in your ATV isn't too long. You may have options I haven't thought of, but it looks to me like there are only 3.
1. Buy a cheap folding trailer in kit form that's held together by sub-standard bolts.
2. Spend what it takes to buy a good folding trailer.
3. Get a non-folding trailer and hoist it up against the outside of the garage wall. I don't know why that's okay but just parking it isn't. Are you in a home owners' association that tells you what you can and can't do on your own property?
