G.V.W.R. & Configuration Summary

The Open Deluxe stands apart from steel utility trailers by combining a fully aluminum construction with a broad size matrix — from a compact 5×8 single axle up to a 7×18 tandem — giving contractors the flexibility to right-size the trailer to the job without sacrificing payload capacity or corrosion resistance. The standard 48″ ramp gate and optional bi-fold rear or side gate configurations make it more adaptable than fixed-rail competitors in the same class.

Key Features & Benefits

Dura Color Radius Edge Decking

The radius edge profile on the floor decking reduces sharp corners that can catch cargo or cause wear on straps and tie-down equipment. This is a standard feature across all single and tandem axle models, meaning every size ships ready for professional use without an upgrade charge.

EZ-Lube Axles

EZ-Lube axles allow grease to be added to the wheel bearings without removing the hub, reducing maintenance downtime in the field. On tandem models, the 4″ drop spring configuration lowers the deck height for easier loading of ATVs, UTVs, and ride-on equipment.

Surface Mount LED Lighting

Surface mount LED lights are standard across all models, providing bright, low-current visibility that holds up to vibration and weather better than incandescent alternatives. This reduces the likelihood of lighting failures during long hauls or repeated daily use.

48″ Fold-In Ramp Gate

The standard 48″ ramp gate provides a wide, stable loading surface for wheeled equipment including ATVs, UTVs, and lawn machinery. Contractors can also specify a bi-fold rear or side gate to customize the trailer for specific loading workflows.

Stake Pockets Included Standard

Stake pockets are included on all models, allowing the addition of side boards or cargo management accessories without modification. This gives contractors a straightforward path to expanding the trailer's utility for bulk material or landscape loads.

ATP Fenders

Aluminum tread plate (ATP) fenders provide durable, corrosion-resistant wheel coverage that matches the aluminum construction of the trailer. ATP fenders resist denting and surface degradation better than painted steel alternatives in high-debris environments.

Common Applications

ATV & UTV Transport

The 48″ ramp gate and low deck height on EZ-Lube drop spring tandem models make loading and unloading side-by-sides and ATVs straightforward. ATV.com recognized the Open Deluxe as one of the 5 best UTV trailers based on Legend's build quality.

Lawn & Landscape Operations

The wide interior box widths (up to 81.5″) and ramp gate accommodate zero-turn mowers, walk-behinds, and hand equipment for landscaping crews running multiple job sites per day.

General Cargo Hauling

Stake pockets and optional tie-down points allow contractors to secure mixed loads of tools, materials, and equipment for general jobsite transport.

Powersports & Recreational Equipment

The range of sizes from 5×8 through 7×18 covers everything from a single motorcycle to multiple powersports units, making the Open Deluxe suitable for both commercial and recreational hauling needs.
