Utility Gate Aluminum Open Utility Trailer

Legend Utility Gate Aluminum Open Utility Trailer — All-Aluminum Construction with Bi-Fold Gate

The Legend Utility Gate is an all-aluminum open utility trailer built on the same platform as the Legend aluminum tilt model, designed for contractors and trades professionals who prefer a traditional rear ramp gate configuration. Available in single and tandem axle configurations across multiple deck lengths, it is engineered for hauling ATVs, UTVs, golf carts, lawnmowers, and general cargo. The extruded aluminum floor, integrated F-channel frame, and EZ-Lube torsion axles deliver a corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance platform suited for daily professional use. If you're looking to upgrade from an aging steel trailer, the Legend Utility Gate offers a direct, durable replacement.

Technical Specifications

Single Axle Dimensional Specifications

Tandem Axle Dimensional Specifications

Unlike steel utility trailers that are prone to rust and corrosion, the Legend Utility Gate uses an all-aluminum construction throughout — frame, floor, tongue, and fenders — eliminating the long-term maintenance burden associated with painted or galvanized steel. The EZ-Lube torsion axle system provides independent wheel suspension and simplified bearing maintenance compared to traditional leaf-spring setups, making it a practical upgrade for contractors running trailers hard in the field.

Key Features & Benefits

All-Aluminum Construction

The frame, floor, tongue, and fenders are all aluminum, eliminating the corrosion and rust issues common with steel trailers. For contractors working in wet or coastal environments, this translates directly to reduced maintenance costs and longer service life.

48″ Fold-In Removable Bi-Fold Gate

The 48-inch bi-fold gate folds inward and is fully removable, providing a wide rear loading opening for equipment and cargo. The fold-in design also reduces wind drag during towing compared to a standard ramp gate left in the down position.

EZ-Lube Torsion Axles

EZ-Lube torsion axles simplify routine bearing maintenance by allowing grease to be added without disassembling the hub. Torsion suspension provides independent wheel movement, reducing shock transfer to the trailer frame and cargo.

Extruded Aluminum Floor

The extruded aluminum deck provides a durable, non-rotting load surface that holds up to repeated loading and unloading of equipment. Unlike wood decking, it requires no replacement or treatment over the life of the trailer.

Integrated F-Channel Frame with Triple Tongue

The integrated F-channel frame provides structural rigidity without added weight, while the 3″ × 6″ extruded aluminum triple tongue delivers a robust hitch connection. Tandem axle models add full-length 2″ × 2″ runners for additional frame support at higher GVWR ratings.

Standard Stake Pockets and 2-Hole Tie Downs

Stake pockets are included on all models, and tie down count scales with trailer length — from 4 on the smallest single axle models up to 8 on the 7×20 tandem. This gives contractors multiple load-securing points without requiring aftermarket additions.

Surface Mount LED Lighting

Surface mount LED exterior lighting provides bright, reliable visibility and is more resistant to vibration damage than traditional incandescent fixtures. LEDs also draw less power from the tow vehicle's electrical system.

Aluminum Wheels — Gunmetal or Black

Aluminum wheels are offered in gunmetal or black finish, providing a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel wheels. The choice of finish allows contractors to match fleet or personal preference without sacrificing durability.

Common Applications

ATV and UTV Hauling

The wide 79″ deck between fenders and the 48″ bi-fold gate make loading and securing ATVs and UTVs straightforward. Stake pockets and multiple tie-down points keep powersports equipment secured during transport.

Golf Cart Transport

The low deck height (16″ on single axle, 17-3/4″ on tandem) and bi-fold gate provide an accessible loading angle for golf carts. The extruded aluminum floor handles the concentrated wheel loads of cart tires without flexing.

Landscaping Equipment

Riding mowers, walk-behind mowers, and other landscaping equipment load easily via the rear bi-fold gate. The all-aluminum construction resists the corrosive effects of fertilizers, grass clippings, and moisture common in landscaping work.

Powersports and Recreational Vehicles

The trailer's platform accommodates a range of powersports equipment beyond ATVs and UTVs. Multiple tie-down positions allow loads to be secured at appropriate anchor points for different vehicle types.

General Cargo Hauling

Stake pockets accept standard stake extensions for containing loose cargo, while the tie-down rings secure palletized or strapped loads. The tandem axle models with up to 7,000# GVWR handle heavier general cargo requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the single axle and tandem axle models?
A: Single axle models are available in 7×12 and 7×14 with a GVWR of 2,990# and use a 2″ straight coupler with 1 idler brake. Tandem axle models are available in 7×12 through 7×20 with a GVWR of 7,000#, use a 2-5/16″ straight coupler, and include 2 electric brakes along with a full-length 2″ × 2″ runner frame reinforcement.

Q: Is the bi-fold gate removable?
A: Yes. The 48″ bi-fold gate is both fold-in and fully removable, allowing the trailer to be configured for different loading scenarios or to reduce weight when the gate is not needed.

Q: What warranty does the Legend Utility Gate carry?
A: The trailer carries a 3-year structural warranty and a 1-year commercial use warranty from Legend Manufacturing, Inc. The warranty is non-transferable and applies to the original retail purchaser. Components such as tires, axles, brakes, lights, and couplers are warranted by their respective manufacturers and are excluded from the Legend Limited Warranty.

Q: How do I register the warranty?
A: The purchaser must complete, sign, and return the warranty registration card to Legend Manufacturing, Inc. within 15 days of the original purchase date. Failure to register within 15 days voids all express warranties except as prohibited by applicable law.
