The Removable gooseneck trailer relates to a hinged frame assembly ideally used for connecting a trailer of the low-bed type to a tractor.
Detachable Gooseneck Semi Trailer
This type of a low-bed trailer has been widely accepted in the transportation of heavy equipment such as power shovels, cranes and tractors.
The design is meant to provide a hinged frame assembly as shown in the picture below. that has a draft member in one end connected to a pivot-able fifth wheel of a tractor.
The other end has a base member pivot-ably linked, so that the actuation of an actuator linked between the base member and the draft member at a point on the base member above the first point, causes the raising or lowering of the front end of a low-bed trailer usually attached to the base member bottom.
This trailer type is usually attached to the tractor using a gooseneck that is normally detached from the front end of the trailer.
The detachment is done after lowering the trailer front end into a ground engagement to further enable front end loading and offloading of the heavy equipment onto and from the flat deck of the trailer.
The traditional heavy duty industrial trailers comprise of a low bed with multiple wheels at the back and a fixed gooseneck to the front used for engaging the fifth wheel of the tractor during operations.
The folding Gooseneck trailer on its part finds application in heavy duty industrial trailers that have collapsible goosenecks to help during loading and offloading operations.
The folding gooseneck type of trailer facilitates easy loading. These come in two types: mechanical and hydraulic.

Hydraulic versions usually comprise a retractable pedestal used for holding the platform level with the ground. The gooseneck folds down to form an inclined ramp to load the horizontal bed.
When loading, the folded gooseneck will present you with a steep ramp which you must negotiate. It is imperative that you use locking pins in order to keep the gooseneck in an upright position as the tractor tows the trailer.
The structural composition is basically composed of traction system, transmission system, alignment adjustment system and locking system. The RGN trailer is mainly separated or hooked by manually operating the hydraulic device mounted on the goose head, so as to reach the construction machinery from the front of the trailer.
This kind of vehicle is mainly suitable for the transportation of large construction machinery with small climbing ability. Of course, construction machinery with a large ladder angle can also be transported. It solves the shortcomings of the current ladder slope angle is too large and poor passability existing in the rear loading and unloading of the lowbed trailer.
The hydraulic gooseneck lowboy semi-trailer can be customized with various models according to the needs. TITAN can make the 2/3/4 axles detachable gooseneck lowboy trailers and 3 lines 6 axles heavy duty rgn lowboy trailer, with the capacity of 60/80/100/120/150 ton. To meet your transport needs and your local regulations.
1.Low center of gravity and good stability.
Due to the low ground clearance and low longitudinal beam height of this kind of vehicle, the load-bearing surface is 300-400mm lower than that of the normal concave-center removable lowboy semi-trailer, thereby effectively reducing the height of the center of gravity of the loaded goods and improving the stability during transportation.
TITAN Oilfield trailers bottom plate, Other suppliers usually use 3 or 4 mm bottom plate, But TITAN adopt 5 mm thick bottom plate, It’s more durable and won’t be deformed.
2. Easy maintenance
Because the bearing surface can be raised and lowered, the tires on a bridge can be grounded, and other tires can be safely and conveniently replaced or other maintenance work without detaching.

3. Strong carrying capacity
TITAN lowboy trailer main beam of TITAN is made of HG60 high-strength structural steel. The yield strength of HG60 steel is ≥ 620MPa, which is more durable and stronger than ordinary steel. Its bearing capacity is 5 times of that of Q345 steel trailer. TITAN lowboy trailer adopts reinforced the gooseneck and upper and lower plate by double layer.
4. Easy operation
The lifting operation handle of the bearing surface mostly adopts the centralized electric control device, rather than the traditional handle to control the operation, so that the operation interface is more convenient.
TITAN hydraulic system has undergone five major system upgrades in the ten-year production process, and now the hydraulic system has very good stability and stability The customer only needs regular maintenance. It can be used for ten years.

5. The effective length of the cargo bed is long
Because this type of model eliminates the rear ladder, the bearing surface can be lengthened, and because the construction machinery does not go from the rear, the slope angle in front of the bridge can be appropriately increased, so that the bearing surface can be lengthened. The length of the low flat cargo table with a ladder at the end is longer, which can effectively load more loads, indirectly improve the loading efficiency, and create greater benefits for users.
6. Good performance
The cargo bed load-bearing surface of the trailer can be adjusted to the ground height by a hydraulic device as needed, and when it passes through culverts or bumpy roads, the cargo bed load-bearing surface can be lowered or raised to improve its passing performance.
folding type goosenech front end low bed
Removable gooseneck lowbed trailers are of many types. However, most of these removable gooseneck’s operation principles are the same. When detaching your gooseneck trailer, here is a standard procedure to follow.
Step 1: Remove the locating pin as well as the air tube and the electric wire connections
Step 2: Lower the cargo bed once all the linkages have been securely removed
Step 3: Drive off the truck together with the gooseneck away
Step 4: Once the truck has been driven off, loading can now take place comfortably from the front of the trailer bed.
