A detachable trailer is a kind of low bed gooseneck trailer with two drops in deck height: one right after the gooseneck and one right before the wheels. This allows the deck to be extremely low compared with other trailers. Low bed gooseneck trailers are used to haul heavy equipment such as bulldozers, industrial equipment etc.
4 axle low bed gooseneck trailer
The low bed gooseneck trailer is used for trailers that carry oversize and overweight cargo. The basic form of a heavy trailer is a monocoque trailer. It generally has the following structure. The frame and the wheel axles and axles are mostly collinear, that is, there are two left and right axles on one axis, which is also called a two axis row. Common monocoque trailers have 2 to 7 axes. One wheel axle is equipped with 4 tires, and one axis has 8 tires. Therefore, the width of the whole car can reach more than 3 meters. In order to reduce the center of gravity of the whole vehicle, a steel wire radial wide rim tire with a small diameter and a large load capacity (see car tires) is generally installed. Each tire can withstand a load of about 4 tons under low speed operating conditions. The frame adopts a high-strength alloy steel box section welded structure.
It adopts hydraulic automatic steering and comes with a hydraulic pump station power system. Now it is necessary to introduce technology.
The series of low bed gooseneck trailer have flat, concave beam and tire leakage structures. The frame is stepped and the longitudinal beam section is I-shaped, which has the characteristics of rigid height and strong height. The low plane of the truck rack and column ensures the stability of transportation and is suitable for carrying all kinds of construction machinery, large equipment and steel.The low bed gooseneck trailer is used for pulling mechanical equipment, large-scale equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, etc. The second and third bridges can be equipped with 30 tons, 50 tons, 60 tons, 80 tons, 100 tons, 120 tons, and 300 tons. Pulling and optional hydraulic ladder trucks have a low level of shelf and column to ensure the stability of transportation and are suitable for carrying all kinds of construction machinery, large equipment and steel.
It adopts three-axis balance type, two-axis balance type or rigid suspension. There is a mass balance block between the front and rear leaf springs, which can make the deflection of the front and rear leaf springs change by the same amount, so that the front and rear axles are balanced in force, and the welding is protected; The frame is shot blasted to make the vehicle more beautiful, strong and durable. The use of vehicle bridges to cross the girder effectively reduces the ground clearance of the cargo platform. The increased passing capacity of the vehicle can load objects with larger diameters. It is ideal for transporting wind turbine towers and large-diameter cargo.
Low bed gooseneck trailers are usually used to haul heavy equipment and machinery, such as excavators, bulldozers and other large construction equipment. Low deck gooseneck trailers are ideal for hauling such large equipment because they are usually tall and wide and exceed the standard legal height and weight limits. The maximum weight of a two-axle low deck gooseneck trailer is 40,000 pounds, but the weight limit can be increased to the total weight of the detachable trailer to 80,000 pounds, and the load depends on the number of axles required. Low deck gooseneck trailers can handle cargo with a maximum height of 14 feet or less. For reliable trucking services and equipment transportation, low deck gooseneck trailers are essentially designed to transport oversized cargo, which usually exceeds the legal height requirements for lowboy flatbed trailers.
Freight companies all over the world have towed a variety of professional trailers on every road imaginable. It is possible that you have seen quite a few low deck gooseneck trailers (even if you may not know it yet). Low trailer, also known as double crane, low loader, low bed or buoy, depending on which part of the world you are in, is a low bed gooseneck trailer with a hanging deck. A low bed gooseneck trailer has two drop points on the deck. The first drop point is behind the gooseneck and the second drop point is before the wheels. This allows the trailer to sit very low. The drop in the trailer is designed to allow the transportation of oversized items or equipment that exceed the normal transportation height limit (usually any cargo over 8 feet in height).
Benefits of buying hydraulic low bed gooseneck trailers
Detachable trailers on our online store offer a smooth behind the wheel experience when hauling intense loads. Since these low bed gooseneck trailers attach to the rear axle area of towing vehicles, this configuration promotes better weight distribution during transit. Gooseneck detachable trailers give you the opportunity to make narrow turns, stay balanced when driving on uneven terrains and carry heavier loads.
Drivers can feel comfortable taking detachable neck trailer to new locations, as these attachments deter thieves. If someone wanted to steal your trailer, they would need an aftermarket mounting system with the correct ball hitch for your model.
There are several fundamentally different types of hook connections for utility, flatbed and equipment trailers. These components include ball coupler, pin ring, king pin and gooseneck ball attachment mechanism.
Low bed gooseneck trailers are specially designed to hang on the ball in the center of the pickup truck bed. This type of hook has two obvious advantages. First, compared to the load attached at the rear of the truck, the truck bears a much greater weight under a load centered on the truck axle. Second, the gooseneck hook has higher stability and safety because its weight is carried from the middle of the truck bed. Compared with bumper pull trailers, increasing the tongue load on the bed enables the trailer to be towed with higher safety and stability factors. The gooseneck hook greatly reduces the possibility of the trailer "swinging".
TITAN brand low bed gooseneck trailers are available in a variety of styles. Basically, almost all TITAN low bed gooseneck trailers available in bumper pull or pin ring versions can be purchased in gooseneck trailer versions. This includes our garden tool trailer, car trailer and mudguard equipment trailer line.
However, our most popular gooseneck trailer series so far is the flatbed trailer series. The product line starts with our light model, which is equipped with two 7,000 lb. axles and an 8-inch I-beam frame. This detacahble neck trailer has an 8-inch wide deck above the wheels, with a 20-inch flatbed and a 4-inch dovetail. A lofting bag with a wear bar on the outside of the bed makes the entire width less than 102 inches. The progressive load rating adds a larger frame and increases the capacity of the axle. The three available running gear combinations include three 7,000-pound axles, two 10,000-pound two-wheel axles, or three 10,000-pound two-wheel axles.
A low bed gooseneck trailer, on the other hand, is often owned by a trailering veteran. A gooseneck can easily be confused with a fifth-wheel trailer because the two hitch types are quite similar. The difference is a low bed gooseneck trailer slides over a ball hitch in the bed of a pickup truck, while a fifth wheel trailer attaches to a pickup truck using a hinged plate hitch; the same type of hitch is used by semi trucks.
The biggest advantage of a low bed gooseneck trailer over a bumper pull is its stability. Since the tongue weight of the trailer is over the truck’s rear axle instead of at the back of the frame, the potential of the detachable neck trailer to sway is minimized. This increased stability also means low bed gooseneck trailers can accommodate more weight and be larger than a bumper pull trailer. Goosenecks have more room for living quarters if you want them, as well as more room for any cargo you haul.
Gooseneck detachable trailers also have a tighter turn radius. This lets you cut corners tighter than a bumper pull trailer and lets you maneuver the trailer in tighter spaces. This tight turn radius can be a double-edged sword, though. It takes a few tries to learn, and if you mess up you can take off the trailer’s fender, to say nothing of damaging street signs and other cars on the road.
