"Rampless" ATV Carrier ATV'S ATV'S 29-3-10 Frustrated that driving an ATV up and down ramps into a pickup bed was a dangerous job, Herb Hoffman came up with a new-style ATV carrier for the back of a pickup that fits into a receiver hitch.
Hoffman and his family operate several thousand acres of grain and hay near Platte, S. Dak., and often need to transport ATV's between fields.
"One time I was backing my ATV down a pair of ramps when the rear wheels slid off to one side. I nearly tipped over and could have been badly injured. That's when I decided to find a safer way to haul ATV's," says Hoffman.
The carrier simply consists of a pair of wheel wells that cradle the front wheels. The back wheels hang in the air, separated by a pair of 5,000-lb. nylon straps that run from the back of the pickup to the back of the ATV. Ratchet-type winders lift the back end of the ATV off the ground about 10 in.
Sells for $195.
