Compared to steel utility trailers in the same class, the aluminum frame reduces overall tare weight without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for repeated commercial use. The EZ-Lube axle system and Surface Mount LED lighting reduce routine maintenance time, keeping the trailer productive across demanding work schedules. The 3-year structural warranty and 1-year commercial warranty reflect Legend Manufacturing's confidence in the build quality of the Open Series.
Key Features & Benefits
Aluminum Frame Construction
The 2″ x 3″ angle aluminum frame and 1.5″ x 1.5″ tube rail uprights deliver a strong, corrosion-resistant structure that holds up in outdoor and wet-weather environments. For contractors who store or operate trailers in variable conditions, aluminum's resistance to rust reduces long-term maintenance costs.
EZ-Lube Spring Axle
The 3,000# EZ-Lube spring axle allows grease to be injected through the hub without disassembly, simplifying bearing maintenance in the field. This design helps extend bearing life and reduces downtime between jobs.
48″ Ramp Gate
The full-width 48″ rear ramp gate provides a wide, accessible loading surface for ATVs, UTVs, riding mowers, and other wheeled equipment. A wide ramp reduces the risk of equipment tipping during loading and unloading on uneven terrain.
Dura Color Radius Edge Decking
The Dura Color Radius Edge Decking provides a durable, finished floor surface that resists wear from repeated loading cycles. The radius edge profile reduces sharp corners that can catch cargo or cause damage during transport.
Surface Mount LED Lighting
Surface-mounted LED exterior lights provide bright, reliable visibility for early morning or late-day hauling. LEDs consume less power than incandescent alternatives and are more resistant to vibration-related failure on rough job-site roads.
2,000# Top-Wind Jack
The 2,000# top-wind jack makes hitching and unhitching straightforward without requiring additional equipment. Its rated capacity is appropriate for the trailer's G.V.W.R., ensuring stable support when the trailer is parked and loaded.
ATP Fenders
Aluminum Tread Plate (ATP) fenders provide durable, corrosion-resistant wheel coverage that withstands road debris and weather exposure. The tread plate surface adds structural rigidity while maintaining a professional appearance.
Common Applications
General Cargo Hauling
The open deck and 2,990 lb. G.V.W.R. make this trailer suitable for transporting construction materials, tools, and general job-site cargo between locations.
ATV and UTV Transport
The 48″ ramp gate and open deck accommodate ATV and UTV loading for contractors working on rural or off-road job sites where utility vehicles are required.
Powersports Equipment
The trailer's deck dimensions and ramp gate support transport of powersports equipment such as motorcycles and personal watercraft trailers to and from work or recreational sites.
Lawn and Landscape Operations
Landscaping contractors can use this trailer to haul riding mowers, walk-behind equipment, and landscape materials between residential and commercial job sites. The low deck height of 16″ eases equipment loading without requiring additional ramp extensions.
