Legend TCH Tilt Car Hauler Aluminum Open Trailer — All-Aluminum Construction with Dampened Tilt Loading
The Legend TCH Tilt Car Hauler is a tandem-axle aluminum open trailer engineered for contractors, powersports enthusiasts, and trades professionals who need reliable, low-maintenance hauling capacity. Built on an all-aluminum frame with extruded aluminum decking, the TCH delivers long-term corrosion resistance without the weight penalty of steel construction. The dampened tilt deck system incorporates a lockout valve that prevents premature descent during loading of long-wheelbase vehicles or multiple units simultaneously. Available in four tandem-axle sizes from 7x18 to 7x24, the TCH is suited for auto hauling, ATV/UTV transport, powersports, and general cargo applications.

Dampened Tilt

The TCH distinguishes itself from steel-frame competitors through its full aluminum construction — subframe, upper frame, runners, tongue, and extruded aluminum floor — delivering a corrosion-resistant platform that requires less maintenance over its service life. The dampened tilt system with lockout valve is a purpose-built loading solution that sets it apart from basic tilt trailers that lack controlled descent, reducing the risk of load damage or operator injury during the loading process. Stainless steel 6k Swivel D-Rings combined with standard stake pockets provide versatile tie-down options that steel-deck trailers of comparable capacity often cannot match.

Key Features & Benefits

Dampened Tilt Deck with Lockout Valve
The dampened tilt system controls the rate of deck descent, preventing sudden drops that can damage vehicles or equipment during loading. The lockout valve allows operators to secure the deck in the raised position when loading long-wheelbase vehicles or multiple units, eliminating premature tilt and improving jobsite safety.

All-Aluminum Frame Construction
The subframe, upper frame, runners, tongue, top rail, and floor are all aluminum, providing inherent corrosion resistance without the need for paint or galvanizing maintenance. For contractors operating in coastal, high-humidity, or road-salt environments, this translates directly to reduced long-term maintenance costs and extended trailer service life.

Extruded Aluminum Floor
The extruded aluminum deck surface provides a consistent, durable load platform that resists rot, warping, and corrosion — common failure points on wood-decked trailers. The extruded profile also offers natural traction texture for loaded vehicles and equipment.

EZ-Lube Torsion Axles with Electric Brakes
Dual 3,500# EZ-Lube torsion axles simplify bearing maintenance by allowing grease to be added without disassembling the hub, reducing service downtime. Two electric brakes provide compliant stopping power for the 7,000–8,500# GVWR range across all four model sizes.

Removable ATP Fenders
Aluminum Tread Plate (ATP) fenders are removable, making it easier to access tires and axle components for maintenance or replacement. Removable fenders also reduce repair costs if a fender is damaged in the field — the section can be swapped without structural work.

Surface Mount LED Lighting
Surface-mounted LED exterior lighting provides bright, low-current illumination with no lens housing to crack or fill with moisture. LED fixtures have a significantly longer service life than incandescent alternatives, reducing roadside failures and replacement frequency for contractors running trailers on a daily basis.

New for 2023 — 1-Handle Latch
The updated single-handle latch system simplifies deck operation, allowing one-handed engagement and release for faster loading and unloading cycles on the jobsite.

Common Applications

Auto Hauling
The dampened tilt deck and lockout valve make the TCH well-suited for loading and transporting passenger vehicles, including long-wheelbase cars and trucks, without ramps or external loading equipment.

ATV / UTV Transport
The wide 81″ between-fender clearance and stake pocket tie-down system accommodate side-by-side UTVs and ATVs securely, with the tilt deck providing a low loading angle for low-clearance machines.

Powersports Equipment
Motorcycles, personal watercraft, and other powersports equipment can be loaded and secured using the standard stake pockets and stainless steel 6k Swivel D-Rings across the deck.

General Cargo Hauling
The extruded aluminum floor and multiple tie-down points make the TCH a capable general-purpose flatbed for contractors hauling tools, materials, or equipment between jobsites.

Compatible Materials

Passenger vehicles (cars, trucks, long-wheelbase vehicles)
