2025 Merritt Trailers Hog Legend 53’

Information

2025 Merritt Trailers Hog Legend 53'

Introducing the Merritt Hog Legend – 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.

Features may include:

Hog Filler Tubes
  • Merritt Hog Legend trailers come standard with hog filler tubes to prevent any animals from falling between the decks.
Single-Handed Drop Ramp
  • Drop ramps at the nose and doghouse create an easy one-handed operation creating a safer work space for drivers.
Superior Ventilation
  • 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.
The Strongest Hog Deck in the Industry
  • Bio-security decks provide safe and easy cleaning of the trailer that will aid in disease control.
