All Kendon Stand-Up™ products fold up and stand up to save storage space. Our Stand-Up™ Trailers feature a unique, patented, folding, stand-up design that uses 75% less storage space than regular trailers. The end result is a footprint roughly equal to that of a typical bedroom dresser – small enough to store against the wall and still park your bikes or car in front of it.
Among the outstanding features of every Kendon Stand-Up™ Trailer is a lightweight design that allows for easy, one-person operation. Once your Kendon trailer is standing up, you can easily roll it around the garage on its casters. The ease of operation allows you to get going quickly and easily.
We offer a wide variety of trailers designed to fit your particular application. No matter what you ride, there’s a Kendon Stand-Up™ Trailer for you.
- If you plan to tow only one bike, consider one of our two 1-rail models.
 - If you plan to tow two bikes, consider one of our 2-rail models or our 3-rail trailer.
 - If you plan to tow dirt bikes, consider the 3-rail dirt bike trailer.
 - If you plan to tow lighter weight sport bikes, the 3-rail trailer is also a good choice.
 - If you’re towing big, heavy cruisers or baggers, you should look closely at the 1-rail or 2-rail Ride-Up SRL models.
 - If you’re towing small, standard bikes, you’ll probably be happy with the standard 1-rail or 2-rail models.
 - If you plan to tow ATVs or small UTVs, consider the UT305 Utility Trailer.
 - If you want the ability to ride your bike onto the trailer, you’ll need a Ride-Up trailer model.
 
No. In 2003 we had a major design change to the current design. Among other major improvements we switched to a round steel tubular chassis that is stronger and lighter than the previous design.
A few years ago we introduced the Ride-Up versions with SRL technology, which allows you to easily and safely ride your bike onto the trailer.
In 2015 we made a few updates as well:
- New Raised Rail Guidance System front wheel rail
 - Improved front wheel chock with 5-position adjustability
 - 13” radial tires as standard equipment
 
Overall bike length is usually the most critical factor. Measure your bike length from the tip of the front tire to the center of the rear axle.
- If the measurement is 98″ or less, your bike will fit on Kendon Stand-Up™ one-rail and two-rail trailers, or the center rail of the three-rail trailer. Your bike will not fit on the outside rails of the three-rail trailer.
 - If the measurement is 95″ or less, your bike will fit on Kendon Stand-Up™ one-rail and two-rail trailers, or the all three rails of the three-rail trailer.

All Kendon Stand-Up™ Trailers are handcrafted in Anaheim, California, just a few miles from the world famous Disneyland. We like to think we help make it the happiest place on Earth.
Kendon Stand-Up™ Trailers are distributed through various Powersports dealers nationwide. Please use our Dealer Locator to find a retail outlet near you. Also be sure to check out your local trailer store.
Yes. The trailers are fully assembled at the factory except for the installation of the wheels and taillights.
Once the trailer is unloaded from the truck, you will have to uncrate it and install the wheels and taillights. It should take 45-60 minutes, sometimes less, and requires only a small number of tools and minimal mechanical aptitude. You can watch a video of the uncrating and assembly procedure here.
Kendon Stand-Up™ 1-rail, 2-rail, and 3-rail Trailers feature two front tie-down points on the outside “ears” of the trailer and two rear tie-down loops welded on the axle. 2-rail trailers also feature two tie-down loops in the center of the trailer on the deck.
Kendon Stand-Up™ Utility Trailers feature tie-down points all along the front and side rails of the trailer. You may also tie down to the heavy-duty expanded metal mesh deck.
Kendon trailers require a 4-point tie-down procedure. Please refer to the owner’s manual for details. Failure to follow the proper tie-down procedure may void parts of your warranty.
That’s a really hard question to answer. Usually we tell people to start with 50% of retail and adjust for condition. But really, your trailer is worth whatever someone will pay for it.
All Kendon Stand-Up™ Trailers have a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the frame and components. The axle is covered by a 5-year limited warranty from the axle manufacturer. We also offer 3-Year and 5-Year Factory Extended Warranty options for a great price. You can find the Extended Warranty option on our Parts & Accessories page.
Legally we cannot provide an MSO to anyone except the original purchaser of the trailer, whose name we have on file. If you are the original purchaser of the trailer, please call us at +1 (760) 209-1317 and we’ll be happy to help. Additionally, we are not legally allowed to provide the contact details of the original purchaser. Sorry for any inconvenience, but we are bound by the laws of the State of California.
All Kendon Stand-Up™ trailers are sold with a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO, sometimes called an MCO).
Depending on your state’s regulations, you will use the MSO to register the trailer and your state will issue a title. MSOs are not shipped with the trailers for legal/theft reasons. Your MSO will be sent separately via US Postal Service and should arrive a few days after your trailer ships.
Please consult your state’s motor vehicle licensing department for proper licensing and registration details.
Yes, all Kendon Stand-Up™ trailers are equipped with a loading ramp. The loading ramp or ramps store on the trailer when not in use.
Yes, your rear tire will sit on the flat deck of the rear section of the trailer. Only the front wheel fits inside the rail. So a Kendon Stand-Up™ trailer will work with any size rear tire.
The guide rails and wheel chocks on Kendon Stand-Up™ trailers will accommodate front tires up to 5.5 inches wide. Contact us if you may need to fit larger wheels.
The guide rails and wheel chocks on Kendon Stand-Up™ trailers will accommodate front tires up to 6.5 inches wide.
