Question Hauling two ATV's

Has anyone seen anything like a rack or other rig that will allow a standard 8' bed pickup to haul two ATV's? It seems to me that a a set of ramps set up on a frame to allow the second ATV to ride over the first (partially), could be done.

They are hard to find but we have place that custom builds them for your truck. We carry our sandrail on top and tow the trailer behind us with no problem. They are great the cost is about $1700 here in Ca.

Nice idea. Did you make the rack? If so, I'd love some details. I need to haul a Foreman and a Rancher and pull a 24' tag.

Cant remember who, but someone makes a rack for them to load on from the side and in a 8' bed. I think it sat in the stake pockets and was secured somehow. $1200 or so if my memory serves me right. I keep lookin.

Are you capable of welding aluminum? If so they aren't hard to make, just takes some time. We made two racks that sit on the heavy duty box rails of the truck. Each rack holds a quad. The quads load from the side on folding aluminum ramps. We use the quads own winches to secure them to the truck.

Yes I built the rack. As you can see in my picture there is two sportsman 700's on it and they are about 750 lbs each. I have used them alot and havent had any probs. The weight is in the bottom of your bed and not on your bed rails like some out there. They work great for like you are saying (hauling 2 atv's and pulling your travel trailer. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.

P.S. look in my gallery for more pics of the rack.

I have one of the racks from these guys and it works great and for the price you can't beat it...I knew a guy that built a all steel one for the same price but that was in just materials not counting the time it took...

The rack I have weighs about 45-50lbs and works great....
