Name: 2026 Top Hat 12 X 72 Trailer Black
Brand: Top Hat
SKU: 264224

The 2026 Top Hat 12×72 DJX (Derby Junior Express) is a compact, light-duty utility trailer. It is primarily engineered for hauling ATVs, UTVs, small lawnmowers, and recreational gear.

The Derby Junior Express line emphasizes fuel economy and low wind resistance. This is achieved by utilizing narrower 9″ x 32″ straight rolled fenders instead of wide, oversized side structures. It features a flat deck surface with fixed tie-down points. The trailer includes Top Hat’s signature 48″ Lay-N Tailgate. This gate can fold flat onto the trailer bed when empty to reduce highway drag. Constructed with a fully welded steel frame and treated lumber deck flooring, it provides a highly durable build in a single-axle footprint.
