The 4 Most Popular Types of Work ATVs

ATVs aren’t just for muddin’ and trail-riding, they can actually be incredibly useful vehicles on a worksite. In fact, ATVs are used in farming, ranching, forestry, construction, groundskeeping, search and rescue, and more. But what are the most popular types of work ATVs? That question is easily answered by taking a look at ATVTrader.com, the nation’s leading online marketplace for ATVs. Based on which work/utility categories had the most inventory listed for-sale, here are the 4 most popular types of work ATVs: 

1. Side-by-Side UTVs

By far the most popular type of work ATVs on ATV Trader are side-by-side utility task vehicles (UTVs), which have two seats that allow for a driver and a passenger. Most UTVs have rollover protection and a rear bed used for hauling equipment, supplies, and/or materials over terrain or through tight spaces where trucks cannot reach. Side-by-side UTVs are manufactured by Can-Am, Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris, Yamaha, and more.

2. Utility Four-Wheelers

Single-rider four-wheelers are not typically referred to as UTVs, but they can definitely still accomplish utility tasks. Although they are smaller and have less cargo space, four-wheelers are ideal for inspecting construction zones and crop fields, supervising work crews, herding livestock, surveying, marking utility lines or timber, or simply moving quickly around a jobsite. You can find utility four-wheelers from Can-Am, Honda, Polaris, Suzuki, Yamaha, and more.

3. Golf Carts

From university groundskeepers, to apartment maintenance crews, to actual golf course employees, simple golf carts are popular choices for some workers. These low-speed vehicles can typically carry two passengers, as well as some light supplies, and are ideal if you want an ATV for more low-key transportation. Some of the more popular makers of golf carts include Club Car, E-Z Go, Hammerhead, Trail Master, and Yamaha.

4. Trailers

Okay, this isn’t actually an ATV, but trailers are commonly hauled behind ATVs on worksites in multiple industries — and there are thousands of trailers for sale on ATV Trader. By hooking up a trailer, you can use your ATV to haul additional equipment, supplies, and/or materials to and around your jobsite. And of course, you might buy a trailer to haul the ATV itself. On our marketplace, you can find ATV trailers from Karavan, Load Rite, Magic Tilt, Sea-Doo, Sport Haven, Triton, Yacht Club, and more.

From side-by-side UTVs and utility four-wheelers, to golf carts, to ATV trailers, you can always get the job done with ATVs. If you’re ready to find an ATV for your farming, construction, or groundskeeping work, start your search on ATVTrader.com.
