Standard ATV vs. Wide-Body UTV:
How Machine Width Changes the Trailer Rental

A standard ATV at 46 to 52 inches wide leaves adequate clearance on a utility trailer deck for tie-down straps on both sides. That clearance matters for securing the machine correctly during transport, not just for getting it onto the deck. A side-by-side UTV at 60 inches or wider removes that clearance on a compact trailer and creates a situation where the machine either does not fit or fits without room for proper strapping. Measuring the machine before calling is the step that removes all uncertainty.

Big Rentals rents equipment trailers in Brownsville with wider deck configurations suited to full-size UTVs. When arranging the rental, providing the machine's actual width in inches, not just the make and model, is the most useful information for confirming whether a utility trailer deck fits or whether the wider equipment trailer configuration is required.
