Introducing the Merritt Legend Line – our first hog-specific trailer line, designed in collaboration with the people who know hog transport best: our customers. Every feature of the Legend reflects direct input from producers and haulers, ensuring it meets the real-world demands of hog transport. From optimized airflow, ease of operation and function and redesigned flooring options to secure handling and easy cleanouts, this line is built with durability and animal welfare in mind. With the Legend, you’re not just choosing Merritt’s trusted quality; you’re choosing a trailer crafted by the experts who use it every day.
Merritt’s bio-security cross-member is an enclosed extrusion that will shed manure and wash water quick & easy.
Keep your drivers safe and give your livestock extra ventilation when the weather requires it. The Merritt roof is built to handle this popular option.
This latch style is spring-loaded and easily locks in place. The spring tension prevents animals from lifting the pin.
A single-hand-operation-cable-style pull cord allow for easy washouts without the doors closing on you.
Easy clean-outs with oversized drains and washout wedge panels.
1″ humps on 5″ centers on all ramp locations.
All Merritt trailers are built with a welded steel subframe, designed to maximize strength, durability, and the overall longevity of your trailer. Our steel frames undergo a two-part painting process, providing enhanced protection against corrosion and electrolysis, ensuring your trailer remains reliable and resilient for years to come.
Folding guide gates with protective hiding panels allow drivers to remain safely in the trailer and protected from animals while being unseen providing a smoother loading process.
Merritt’s door gap filler keeps livestock warmer in the winter by eliminating the wind that comes in through the gate. This option is also removable for warmer months when more airflow is needed.
Merritt Legend Line trailers come standard with hog filler tubes to prevent any animals from falling between the decks.
Drop ramps at the nose and doghouse create an easy one-handed operation creating a safer work space for drivers.
The 3” round hole creates an air vortex that literally sucks air into the trailer as it travels down the road. No other design can create this effect. The double-embossed large viewing hole will resist dents and allow for better visual inspection of your livestock. Using punched side doors your Merritt will have superior ventilation that provides positive airflow and ventilation in any conditions.
Bio-security decks provide safe and easy cleaning of the trailer that will aid in disease control.
30″ side door holdbacks allow for easy washouts without the doors closing on you
