The distinctive feature of a detachable gooseneck trailer is its front section, known as the gooseneck, which is detachable from the main trailer deck. This design allows for easy loading and unloading of heavy equipment and oversized cargo, making it a versatile choice for transporting various types of machinery. They accommodate a wide range of cargo types, including construction equipment, bulldozers, excavators, cranes, wind turbine components, paving equipment, combines, tractors, and commercial equipment. Essentially, any items that do not fit onto a flatbed trailer or single-drop trailer. Detachable gooseneck trailers often have a low profile, which means the main deck is closer to the ground compared to other types of trailers. This low profile is beneficial when transporting tall equipment or machinery, as it provides more clearance during transportation.
Folding gooseneck trailer are heavy-haul lowboys with a unique front loading gooseneck design. The gooseneck folds down onto the ground, and tapers to a shallow slope at the front for easy loading of the heaviest equipment and cargo loads. Folding Goosenecks trailers can be used for heavy-duty construction equipment, pipeline equipment, and of course, large tubing etc.
A step deck trailer is designed to carry cargo that is too tall to go on a flatbed truck. A step deck truck can help you haul loads without having to obtain special permits for exceeding the legal height limit. These trailers have a lower and upper deck, hence the use of the term "step". There are different types of step frame trailers, such as fixed-neck, gooseneck, or removable gooseneck, which you can use depending on your needs for loading and unloading. A fixed-neck trailer has limited options, whereas a removable gooseneck can be loaded either on the front or back of the trailer.
