At Beyond Driving, we specialise in providing professional training for All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs), equipping operators with the skills needed to handle these vehicles safely and effectively in various working environments. Understanding the differences between these vehicles and their applications is crucial for anyone involved in their operation.
Understanding ATVs and UTVs
All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), often referred to as quad bikes, are smaller, single-rider vehicles that are agile and capable of navigating a variety of terrains. These vehicles are commonly used in agriculture, forestry, and recreational settings. They are typically equipped with handlebar steering and motorcycle-style seating.
Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs), on the other hand, are larger, typically equipped to carry more than one person and are designed to haul equipment as well as passengers. Unlike ATVs, UTVs have a steering wheel and foot pedals, similar to a car, and provide a side-by-side seating arrangement. They are often used in environments that require a blend of mobility and utility, such as farming, park management, and by the emergency services.
