Flatbed Trailer Has A Detachable Gooseneck
 |
 |
The new trailer’s gooseneck hitch releases the front of the trailer bed onto the ground for loading and unloading. The tow vehicle drives away with the gooseneck hitch attached. Jacks aren’t needed to support the trailer.
With the platform on the ground, equipment is easily loaded or unloaded from the front using small ramps. Davis says loading this way is much safer because the trailer bed is closer to the ground so equipment doesn’t have to drive up a ramp and over wheels from the rear.
Lowering and raising the trailer is done with hydraulic cylinders on the hitch.
In addition to its unique design, the Davis Industries trailer is lighter than other gooseneck flatbeds on the market. Davis says the average weight of a 26-ft. fixed gooseneck trailer is between 8,500 and 10,500 lbs. while the Davis trailer weighs 6,400 lbs. and has the same carrying capacity.
