Transporting Your ATV or UTV Safely

As riding season ramps up, many ATV and UTV owners are transporting their machines to explore the trails and destinations throughout the Northwoods. Proper trailering plays an important role in protecting both your equipment and others on the road.

Before heading out, keep these tips in mind:

• Use properly rated straps and secure all tie-down points
• Distribute weight evenly on the trailer
• Check trailer lights, brakes and tire pressure
• Confirm ramps and gates are fully secured
• Recheck connections after a short drive

Taking a few extra minutes to secure your load can help prevent shifting, damage or unsafe driving conditions. A stable, well-balanced trailer makes for a smoother trip from start to finish.
