Fold-Up Motorcycle Trailers Make Towing Easier
So What's All The Fuss About?
Kendon Industries, the originator of the Stand-Up motorcycle trailer, continues its pioneering ways with the next generation of trailers and motorcycle lifts. The street line of lifts has been significantly updated. The 2010 street lifts offer improved performance, reliability and strength. Plus there is the all new MotoLift packed with a host of innovations specifically for the offroad market, but the biggest news really is the 2010 trailers.
Kendon has been around for years continually creating innovative products to make a motorcycle enthusiast's life much easier," explains Hot Bike magazine editor Eric Ellis. "Now I know what you are thinking — "there are a ton of lifts and trailers on the market, what makes Kendon so special?" — The answer is pretty simple, space! When you're done with the Kendon lift or trailer, it can be folded up and stood up on one end (one end has wheels) and rolled off to a corner or against the wall where it takes up minimal space."
There is more to the story than that, however. Not only do Kendon products feature plenty of technical innovations, they work. "Kendon trailers are strong, long-lasting, lightweight and flat out beautiful," says company president Frank Esposito.
"Performance trailers are the ones you don't feel that you're towing. We have earned a reputation to towing sweeter than any other competitor but the partnership between Kendon and our proprietary axle supplier Tie Down Engineering means the best trailer on the market just got better," exclaims Esposito. "Kendon is a PERFORMANCE trailer!"
As they say, the devil is in the details, so here is a detailed description of The Kendon Difference:
Kendon Stand-Up™ Trailer Features & Benefits
- The patented Eliminator Torsion Axle from Tie Down Engineering offers completely controlled compression and rebound as each wheel is fully independent of the other side.
- This exclusive torsion bar suspension system delivers precision spring rates and dampening rates to each wheel independently to provide for a smoother and safer ride.
- Use of torsion bars rather than a conventional axle/leaf spring set-up also reduces un-sprung weight. The Eliminator torsion axle tube is bolted to the frame so the number of moving parts is reduced, lowering the weight that the
"spring action" must move. Ultimately this results in a smoother shock action and provides equal ride quality whether the trailer is loaded or empty.
- The torsion axle becomes a cross member – An added benefit of the Eliminator torsion axle is that it mounts directly to the frame, further reducing flex.
- Double Mounting Brackets – for maximum strength and stability, all Kendon trailers feature double mounting brackets from axle to frame.
- Removable Spindle – Tie Down Engineering's patented Eliminator torsion axle is the only axle that has a replaceable spindle. This greatly reduces the chance of ruined trips due to an accident, bearing failure or spindle damage.
- SuperLube – Every Eliminator torsion axle comes with SuperLube spindles as standard equipment. SuperLube has been proven to be the best method to change grease in the hub cavity.
- Totally tubular! The triangulated round-tube frame is similar to the construction of a racecar chassis (no wonder given Ken Thurm's extensive racing background). Inspired by the strongest geometric shape, the triangle, each round-tube frame is tough as well as lightweight due to precision CNC bends and minimal welds and cuts.
- Aesthetics – Kendon trailers are attractive: Diamond plate decking and a beautiful powder coating process make for a striking finish with rugged durability.
- All New Redesigned Fenders – Fenders have been redesigned for added strength and performance. New fenders now use A572 Grade 50 High Strength Steel. Fenders are spindle center line located and mounted directly to the axle trailing arm. This delivers the closest possible fender to tire clearance providing superior debris control, aerodynamic and better looks.
- Longevity – Kendon has a PASSION for transporting and handling your vehicle – we are the leader in motorsports transportation. Period!
- Spare Parts – We understand things happen on the road and we offer a full line of replacement parts.
2010 Improvements
As good as Kendon trailers have historically been, the best have gotten even better. A host of key improvements have been made to the 2010 models and rather than having you wait for these upgrades, Kendon has quietly been shipping the upgraded models for the past couple of months. These new and improved versions are now in stock and ready for the customer today! Specific highlights include:
- Next Generation Hybrid Axle co-developed by Tie Down Engineering and Kendon Trailers is now offered for all trailers with a 2,000 lb. GVW
- New & Improved Fenders – All 2010 trailers have a new higher strength material – A572/grade 50 — fender.
- A wider rail with an adjustable wheel chock has been incorporated into each Kendon Stand-Up™ trailer for the 2010 season.

About Kendon
Kendon Industries, Inc. founder Ken Thurm is a mechanical engineer, veteran drag racer, die-hard hot rodder, inveterate tinkerer and certified visionary (he has 25 U.S. patents to prove it). The concept for trailers that fold-up and then Stand-Up™ for convenient storage came about as an elegant solution to a need for more garage space nearly two decades ago and has since expanded to encompass a full range of trailers and lifts for the motorcycle, ATV, hot rod and classic car lifestyles.
