Everything You Need to Know About RGN Trailer Transport

RGN shipping equipment consists of three main elements, a gooseneck that connects the trailer to the truck cab, a drop deck, and a step back up over the rear axles of the trailer. The well created by the drop deck allows for taller equipment to meet the rules and regulations associated with heavy equipment transport, as it holds machinery lower to the ground so that they don’t exceed maximum height restrictions.

In addition to providing an extra foot of clearance space, RGN transport also includes an extended trailer option, in which the drop-deck area can be extended to 61ft, increasing the maximum RGN trailer length to 74ft. This provides a much larger usable space if you’re looking to transport oversized equipment using RGN haulage options.

RGN and extended RGNs can be configured to take advantage of multiple axles. Standard configurations can include two to four support axles, but more can be added for extended, heavy loads.

The critical difference between a removable gooseneck trailer and many other trailers is, as the name suggests, the fact that the front gooseneck mechanism can be easily detached. This detachable component enables front-loading, and haulers can drive equipment such as forklifts and other machinery directly onto the trailer. Once the gooseneck is removed, the trailer can be lowered to ground level.
