When it comes to transporting heavy machinery, Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailers are essential for easy loading and unloading. Truckman Automobile specializes in providing high-quality RGN trailers that offer flexibility, efficiency, and safety for heavy equipment transport. These trailers are designed to make your hauling needs simpler and more efficient, especially when moving large, heavy loads.
A removable gooseneck trailer, often referred to as a detachable gooseneck, features a gooseneck section that can be detached from the rest of the trailer. This feature allows for smoother and safer loading of equipment, making it an essential part of RGN trailers. By detaching the gooseneck, you can lower the trailer deck to the ground, creating a ramp-like platform for heavy equipment such as excavators, cranes, or other industrial machinery. Once the equipment is loaded, the gooseneck is reattached, and the trailer is ready for transport.

The removable gooseneck is a key component in making RGN trailers versatile and user-friendly. At Truckman Automobile, we focus on designing gooseneck systems that simplify the loading and unloading process. Here's how it works:
Unlock the Locking Mechanism: To begin, unlock the connection locking mechanism that secures the gooseneck to the trailer.
Loosen Securing Parts: After unlocking, loosen the parts that connect the gooseneck to the trailer deck. This ensures that the gooseneck can be separated from the deck.
Hydraulic Lift or Mechanical Disconnect: Most hydraulic systems use cylinders to lift the gooseneck from the deck, while mechanical systems rely on front rollers and ramps. Hydraulic systems provide smoother transitions for heavy equipment, while mechanical systems are typically easier to connect.
Reconnect the Gooseneck: After loading the equipment, the gooseneck is reattached to the deck and securely locked into place. This ensures safe and stable transport of the heavy load.
This design offers enhanced loading flexibility, enabling operators to load heavy equipment without the need for additional cranes or lifting equipment. This makes it an efficient and time-saving solution for the transportation of large machinery.
Truckman Automobile offers several different types of RGN trailers, each designed to meet specific needs. Whether you're transporting construction equipment, agricultural machinery, or industrial tools, there is an RGN trailer that suits your requirements.
These are ideal for medium-weight and medium-sized equipment. Standard removable gooseneck trailers are versatile and widely used across various industries for general-purpose transport.
If you're hauling oversized loads like wind turbine blades or long pipes, extendable RGN trailers are perfect. Their adjustable length allows for the transport of exceptionally long equipment that standard trailers cannot handle.
For very high equipment, such as cranes and large industrial machinery, double drop RGN trailers are the solution. These trailers feature a low deck that reduces the height of the load, making it easier to transport overpasses or low-clearance areas.
Lowboy RGN trailers are designed for transporting heavy or tall equipment that requires a low ground clearance. These trailers are commonly used in the mining and construction industries.
Each type of RGN trailer has a specific design to meet the varying needs of heavy equipment transport. We can also create customized versions based on your needs to ensure that your trailer works for your exact equipment specifications.
At Truckman Automobile, we have designed our removable gooseneck trailers with easy and efficient loading and unloading in mind. Here is a step-by-step guide for safe and efficient loading:
Detach the Gooseneck: Start by detaching the gooseneck from the trailer.
Lower the Deck: The deck is then lowered to the ground, providing a flat platform for loading.
Drive the Equipment Onto the Deck: Using the ramp-like design, equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and tractors can be driven directly onto the trailer.
Safety during loading is crucial. Operators should always:
Ensure the equipment is properly aligned on the trailer.
Make sure the trailer is stable and balanced before loading the next piece of equipment.
Avoid overloading the trailer to maintain balance and prevent damage to both the equipment and the trailer.
Unloading is just as simple as loading. After the gooseneck is removed, the deck is lowered to ground level. The equipment is driven off the trailer, completing the unloading process quickly and efficiently.
Removable gooseneck trailers provide a range of benefits that make them ideal for heavy equipment transport. These advantages include:
The ability to detach the gooseneck allows heavy equipment to be driven directly onto the trailer. This eliminates the need for cranes or special equipment, saving both time and labor.
RGN trailers distribute weight more effectively across the trailer and towing vehicle. This improved weight distribution enhances stability on the road and ensures better handling, especially under heavy loads.
From construction to mining to agriculture, RGN trailers are adaptable to a wide variety of industries. The detachable gooseneck design reduces the risk of damage during loading and unloading, contributing to a more efficient and cost-effective operation.
At Truckman Automobile, we recognize that different industries require trailers with different weight capacities. Our RGN trailers are available in a variety of capacities to suit your needs:
Standard RGN Trailers: These can handle 40,000 to 80,000 lbs (18 to 36 tons), making them perfect for medium-weight equipment.
Reinforced RGN Trailers: For extra-heavy equipment, these trailers can carry between 100,000 and 150,000 lbs (45 to 68 tons).
Our trailers are used in various sectors, including construction, agriculture, mining, and manufacturing, to move equipment like excavators, cranes, tractors, and industrial machines.
Choosing the right RGN trailer depends on a few key factors:
Weight capacity: Determine how much weight your equipment weighs.
Axle count: More axles provide greater weight distribution.
Deck length and suspension: These features influence the stability and load capacity of the trailer.
