Unlike steel trailers that are prone to rust and corrosion over time, the Legend 8X24DSTA35's all-aluminum construction delivers a rust-free service life and a higher payload-to-weight ratio. Legend's full tubular frame design — noted by owners as one of the few remaining in the industry — provides structural rigidity that outlasts conventional trailer builds.
Key Features & Benefits
All-Aluminum Construction
The fully aluminum frame and body eliminate rust and corrosion, reducing long-term maintenance costs for contractors operating in wet or coastal environments. The lighter weight compared to steel also increases net payload capacity, allowing you to haul more per trip.
Full Tubular Frame
Legend uses a full tubular frame design, which provides superior torsional rigidity compared to channel or angle-iron alternatives. This structural approach is increasingly rare in the industry and contributes directly to the trailer's long service life under heavy commercial use.
Multiple Axle Configurations Available
The 8X24DSTA35 is available in single, tandem, or triple axle configurations, allowing contractors to match the trailer's load rating to their specific hauling requirements. This flexibility makes it suitable for light landscaping loads as well as heavier equipment transport.
Customizable with Dealer Options
Spare tire mounts, bi-fold and side loading gates, D-rings, and additional accessories are available through custom orders or as after-sale parts through authorized dealers. This allows contractors to configure the trailer to their exact workflow needs.
Manufacturer-Backed Warranty
The Legend Open Series carries a 3-year structural warranty and a 1-year commercial use warranty, providing professional buyers with documented coverage against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Warranty registration must be completed within 15 days of purchase to remain valid.
Common Applications

The open deck configuration and available loading gate options make this trailer well-suited for transporting mowers, blowers, trimmers, and bulk landscape materials to and from job sites.

The 8-foot width and open platform accommodate side-by-side UTVs and ATVs, with optional D-rings and tie-down points available for secure transport.
Car Hauling
