A reversing camera and rear door alarm are fitted as standard on the new range of Legend trailers heading to LAMMA next week. There is also a new and improved lighting system.

Superseding the Scottish trailer manufacturer’s best-selling GX tipping trailer range, the reversing camera on the Legends sends the image via a wireless connection to an in-screen cab, providing the tractor driver with full visibility of the area at the rear of the trailer. The audible alarm sounds when the rear door is closing to warn anyone near it to stand clear.

Legend trailers are also equipped with a new lighting and wiring circuit. This is engineered so that the four side marker lights are activated to work as indicators. The new front and rear marker lights mounted on rubber stalks incorporate front, side and rear illuminated marker lights. With new rear multifunction lights and powerful LED work lights as standard the trailer is highly visible in all conditions.

The fresh approach to the styling sees the front of the chassis incorporate the drawbar mounts. The remodelled sprung drawbar design is said to be easy to adjust and allows a wider range of height adjustment than the previous design.

The bottom section of the new ladder folds up out of the way when not in use.

The company says that with the bottom section locked into the stored position is it less likely to cause an accident when the trailer body is tipped as it keeps the ladder above head height.

Available in capacities from 11-24t, the Legends have all the standard features of the GX range with the addition of spray flaps at the front of the body and wheel nut indicators.
