RGN (Removable Gooseneck)
A trailer design with a detachable front (gooseneck) that allows heavy equipment to be driven directly onto the trailer bed.
Detailed Explanation
Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailers feature a detachable front section that lowers to the ground, forming a ramp for wheeled machinery to be loaded onto a very low deck. RGNs (also called lowboys or lowbeds when they share similar low-deck characteristics) are commonly used for hauling heavy construction equipment, large machinery, and oversized loads that require drive-on loading and a low center of gravity.
