Planning an off-road escape is fun. Figuring out how to haul your ATVs safely and affordably is not.
That is where North Country Trailer Rentals shines. Below is a quick guide to why renting from us is a smart move for your next ride, plus tips to make pickup, loading, and travel smooth from start to finish.
1) The Right Trailer for the Job
Sized for ATVs. Our fleet includes lightweight single and tandem-axle utility trailers with deck space and ramp gates built with powersports in mind.
GVWR that fits your rig. We match trailer capacity to your machines and gear so you stay within safe weight limits and keep handling predictable.
Tie-down friendly. Multiple stake pockets and recessed D-rings simplify four-point tie-downs and compressing suspension correctly.
2) Safety and Maintenance You Can Trust
Pro-maintained equipment. Brakes, bearings, lights, and tires are inspected on a schedule so you do not start a trip with a surprise repair.
Brake controllers and breakaway systems. We provide clear guidance on when trailer brakes are required and help you test your setup before leaving.
DOT-compliant lighting and reflective tape. Be seen at dawn, dusk, and dusty trailheads.
3) Flexible Pickup and Easy Use
Pickup windows that fit your travel clock. Grab your trailer the evening before so you can hit the road early.
Quick ramp loading. Spring-assisted gates and generous ramp width mean less wrestling and more riding.
Hitch help. We verify ball size, coupler height, and safety chain crossing at pickup. We can also supply adjustable hitches and wiring adapters.
4) Budget-Smart Without Cutting Corners
Pay for what you use. Daily and weekend rates beat the cost of buying, storing, and maintaining a trailer year-round.
No surprise add-ons. Transparent pricing on straps, spare tires, and tongue locks keeps your total clear up front.
Insurance options. Ask us about coverage so you can focus on fun instead of “what ifs.”
5) Local Know-How
We ride the same trails you do. Our team can point you to staging areas with good turnaround space, share seasonal road conditions, and help plan a route that avoids steep grades if you are new to towing.
How to Choose the Right ATV Trailer
-
Count machines and measure wheelbase. Know the length, width, and combined weight with fuel and gear.
-
Confirm your tow rating. Check your vehicle’s GCWR and tongue weight limits.
-
Pick axle configuration. Single axle for lighter single-ATV setups. Tandem axle for multiple machines or long highway miles.
-
Decide on deck style. Wood deck for grip and easy maintenance. Mesh for lighter weight and quick cleanout.
-
Add the right accessories. E-track or extra ratchet straps, wheel chocks, tongue lock, spare tire, and a jack.
Loading and Tie-Down Best Practices
-
Park on level ground. Chock trailer wheels, set the parking brake.
-
Load heaviest first over the axles. Aim for 10 to 15 percent tongue weight for stable towing.
-
Four points per ATV. Compress suspension slightly and use axle or frame-safe points.
-
Protect contact areas. Soft loops prevent strap abrasion.
-
Recheck after 10 to 15 miles. Straps settle. A quick retightening is cheap insurance.

FAQs
Do I need trailer brakes?
Many states require brakes above a set weight. We will check your fully loaded weight and advise on legal and safe options for your route.
Can my SUV tow two ATVs?
Often yes, but it depends on the tow rating and payload. Bring your owner’s manual details, and we will size a trailer that keeps you within limits.
What ball size and drop do I need?
Most of our utility trailers use a 2-inch ball. Coupler height varies by model. We can supply an adjustable drop and help you level the setup.
Can I store the trailer overnight before departure?
Yes. Ask about evening pickup to load at home and roll out early.
