More About Side-By-Sides

Utility terrain/task vehicles are designed to be useful in a wide variety of scenarios. It’s their compact size, ability to go offroad, and rugged construction that really makes them shine. Unlike ATVs, a side-by-side is generally covered by some kind of roof or shell, has seating for multiple people, and comes with extra storage capacity. These features mean that a lot of different industries have found efficient uses for UTVs. 

Uses For Side-By-Sides

Construction sites can make use of UTVs in a number of ways: transporting a work crew, hauling equipment and tools, towing a trailer to carry whatever’s needed, and some can even be fitted with attachments to help with the construction work itself. The off-road capability of UTVs means that they can easily be used on construction sites that haven’t yet been properly graded, moving around obstacles, ruts, rocks, and other debris with ease. 

Beyond their off-road capabilities, side-by-sides can be extremely helpful even on pavement. A lot of companies use these vehicles to assist with hauling products or supplies in warehouses, or on an airport tarmac. You can even add accessories and upgrades to make your side-by-side street legal. 

Hunters love UTVs. It’s so easy to load up on guns, bring your friends, and go out into the wilds to locate your blinds and get to the important business of going after that 12-point buck. You can get a winch attachment that’ll help you haul up your game and get it into the cargo box of the UTV. 

Sports teams increasingly use UTVs to transport players and equipment from practice locations to playing fields. The versatility of the UTV platform means they can go from road to practice field and back again with ease, and their extra storage capacity means they can take a load of gear and equipment to where it needs to go quickly and efficiently.

There are a lot of other uses for a UTV - the possibilities are endless. Load up your family and friends and go for a spin around your local forest, and bring your camping equipment with you so you can just set up wherever you stop. Race along the beach with the wind in your hair, knowing that you’ve got fresh towels and dry clothes safely stored in the UTV’s cargo box. Use your UTV as a kind of rugged golf cart, and create your own course through the woods for a new challenge.
