Yes, the BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF14207 can be used to secure your UTV to your trailer. Each strap has a working load limit of 833lbs, so you will want to ensure that you use enough straps to safely secure the weight of your UTV.

Personally I recommend using the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # 34414. These straps will automatically wind themselves for easy storage. Plus you never have to worry about the strap coming out of the ratchet mechanism if you are near the end of the strap length. The straps are 6' long and have a break strength of 1,333lbs.
