Foldable gooseneck low-bed trailer is a special semi-trailer whose gooseneck can be folded or disassembled. It has many significant advantages and is widely used in the field of heavy-duty cargo transportation.
Structural features
Gooseneck folding design: The gooseneck can be folded or swung from the front end of the semi-trailer to the left (right) side, or folded up and down to remove obstacles to loading and unloading at the front end of the semi-trailer, and still remain articulated with the semi-trailer. This design makes the vehicle more flexible when loading and unloading goods, and can adapt to different operating environments and cargo types.
Hydraulic system assistance: Some foldable gooseneck low-bed trailers are equipped with hydraulic systems for folding and adjusting the gooseneck. The hydraulic system can provide continuous angle adjustment, so that the trailer can better adapt to different tractor and cargo requirements. For example, hydraulic detachable goosenecks are available in two types: ground-bearing and non-ground-bearing. The non-ground-bearing hydraulically controlled detachable gooseneck can provide continuous angle adjustment, improving the passability, safety and applicability of the low-bed semi-trailer.
Advantages
Convenient loading and unloading: Foldable gooseneck low-bed trailers have various loading and unloading methods, which can realize front loading and unloading, rear loading and unloading, and side loading and unloading. Front loading and unloading is the first choice for transporting heavy machinery and equipment. By folding the gooseneck, the machinery and equipment can be directly loaded and unloaded from the front end of the trailer without the help of a ladder or cargo platform, reducing the risk of cargo slipping or tipping during loading and unloading.
High transportation safety: The deck loading area of the low-bed trailer is lower than the ground, with a low center of gravity and good stability. The foldable gooseneck design further reduces the overall height of the cargo loading and unloading area, making the cargo center of gravity lower and safer during transportation.
Wide range of applications: The foldable gooseneck low-bed trailer is suitable for transporting various heavy and oversized and long cargoes, such as large construction machinery, mining equipment, oil and gas storage tanks, etc. Its axle number, load factor, body size, etc. can be customized according to actual transportation needs.
Application scenario
Construction machinery transportation: For large construction machinery such as excavators and bulldozers, the foldable gooseneck low-bed trailer is an ideal means of transportation. It has a built-in ladder at the front, which can form a small angle ramp with the ground. The construction machinery can be moved directly to the trailer by itself, making loading and unloading convenient and fast.
Extra-long cargo transportation: When transporting extra-long cargo, the telescopic design of the foldable gooseneck low-bed trailer can meet the transportation needs of cargo of different lengths. For example, the middle "well-shaped" structure of the telescopic low-bed transporter can be retracted to easily transport extra-long heavy equipment.
With its unique structural design and many advantages, the foldable gooseneck low-bed trailer plays an important role in the field of heavy cargo transportation, providing a safer, more efficient and flexible solution for the transportation of large equipment.
