Hauling oversized and irregular cargo requires durable trailers that can handle the load. If your fleet handles oversized or irregular cargo, especially in the construction or agriculture industries, RGN (removable gooseneck trailers) have become an asset for mid-sized fleets.

At Kingpin Trailers, we are seeing this growing demand for RGNs among fleets looking to grow their capacity. We’re proud to offer a variety of RGN trailers from XL Specialized Trailers, with additional customization services available. Here’s why operators are choosing RGN trailers and what you might be missing out on.

What Makes RGN Trailers So Versatile?

The removable gooseneck of RGN trailers allows the front to detach and lower to the ground. This creates a ramp perfect for heavy equipment like excavators or tractors to drive directly onto the trailer. Unlike a standard step-deck or flatbed, RGN trailers are designed to carry heavy machinery.

Easy To Use

This ability to separate the front of the trailer makes the loading and unloading process of large equipment much more manageable. Lowering your RGN trailer enables you to use the front of the trailer like a drive-on ramp. The operators can drive large machinery onto the trailer without additional equipment like cranes or lifts.

Equipment Capacity

Each province across Canada will have different restrictions regarding height while transporting equipment. However, with an RGN, you have greater height flexibility as the trailer has a drop in the middle and can accommodate large pieces of equipment. The drop in the middle of an RGN trailer is called a “well,” and wells are typically about 29 ft across. That means you can haul larger and taller pieces of equipment by securing them in the well of your RGN trailer.

The Perfect Match For Medium-Sized Fleets

Despite their versatility, RGNs are often misunderstood and assumed to be only for massive operations. In reality, they’re a perfect investment for any fleet with 10 to 100 trucks. If you’re in agriculture or construction, an RGN would make transporting your heavy equipment easier to manage. If you’re running a mid-size operation, chances are you’ve been offered jobs that require more specialized hauling, or you’ve had to turn them down due to equipment limitations. Adding an RGN trailer gives you the flexibility to grow your customer base without taking on unnecessary risk.

At Kingpin Trailers, we work with mid-size fleets every day to ensure you’re set up with the right equipment. Our team can guide you through customizing a new RGN trailer to match your needs.
