Compared to the Legend Aluminum Low Side trailer, the High Side model adds 22" tall sides with treated radius edge decking sideboards, giving contractors significantly more containment volume for loose materials, equipment, and oversized loads. The aluminum construction keeps weight down while the robust 2" x 3" angle frame and cross-member structure deliver the rigidity needed for demanding jobsite use. The EZ-Lube spring axle simplifies routine maintenance, reducing downtime in the field.
Key Features & Benefits
22" High Sides with Dura Color Radius Edge Decking
The 22" tall sides provide substantially more cargo containment than low-side alternatives, allowing contractors to haul larger volumes of loose materials, equipment, or supplies in a single trip. The Dura Color radius edge decking sideboards add durability and a finished appearance that holds up to repeated jobsite loading and unloading.
Traction-Optimized 48" Ramp Gate
The ramp gate's unique design is engineered to maintain traction during wet or icy loading conditions, reducing the risk of slipping when loading ATVs, UTVs, or heavy equipment. This is a critical safety and productivity feature for contractors working in variable weather conditions.
EZ-Lube Spring Axle
The 3,000 lb. EZ-Lube spring axle allows for quick, tool-free bearing lubrication without removing the wheel, minimizing maintenance time and keeping the trailer in service longer. This feature is especially valuable for contractors who rely on their trailer daily and cannot afford extended downtime.
Surface Mount LED Exterior Lighting
Surface-mounted LED lights provide bright, reliable illumination for improved visibility and compliance during road transport. LEDs are more durable and longer-lasting than incandescent alternatives, reducing the frequency of roadside lighting failures.
2" x 3" Angle Frame and Cross Members
The heavy-duty 2" x 3" angle frame and cross members spaced 24" on center deliver a rigid, load-bearing structure capable of handling the trailer's 2,990 lb. G.V.W.R. This construction provides the structural integrity contractors need when hauling heavy equipment or materials across uneven terrain.
ATP Fenders
Aluminum tread plate (ATP) fenders offer superior corrosion resistance compared to steel fenders, making them well-suited for contractors working in wet, muddy, or coastal environments. Their durability reduces the need for replacement over the trailer's service life.
Common Applications
General Cargo Hauling
The high sides and robust frame make this trailer ideal for transporting a wide variety of general cargo to and from jobsites, including tools, materials, and supplies.
ATV and UTV Transport
The 48" ramp gate and 2,990 lb. G.V.W.R. make loading and hauling ATVs and UTVs straightforward, with the traction-optimized ramp providing safe loading even in adverse conditions.
Powersports Equipment
The trailer's interior dimensions and ramp gate accommodate a range of powersports equipment, making it a practical choice for contractors or businesses that transport recreational or work-related powersports vehicles.
Lawn and Landscape Operations
Landscaping contractors can use the high sides to contain loose materials such as mulch, soil, or debris, while the ramp gate allows easy loading of ride-on mowers and other lawn equipment.
