What are RGN Trailers?
Removable gooseneck trailers, or RGNs, have been around since 1958. RGN trailers were first introduced to provide truckers with the capacity to transport long and tall cargo. With RGN trailers, the front section or gooseneck can be detached, making it easier for operators to lower the trailer closer to the ground. Once the trailer is in this lowered position, almost any self-powered cargo can easily be loaded onto it.
The removable gooseneck is the most distinguishing feature of RGN trailers. It simplifies the loading and offloading process and allows operators to add as many axles as necessary for the application. For instance, an RGN trailer is a great transportation option if you’re hauling overweight, oversized or heavy machinery. You can add extra axles at the rear or side sections of the trailer without compromising your ease of loading. A standard model RGN trailer typically has three axles, a maximum freight weight of 50 tons, and a legal maximum height of 3.5 m. However, with the help of Kingpin Trailers, our team can customize the length and width of your trailer to suit your needs.

Next are a few benefits you can expect from RGN trailers from Kingpin Trailers.
Greater Capacity for Bulky Equipment
Removable gooseneck trailers are great for hauling large equipment and machinery. 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. Overall removable gooseneck trailers are perfect for transporting large machinery and oversized loads.
Easy to Use and Safety
As previously mentioned, the removable gooseneck of RGN trailers allows the front of the trailer to detach. This ability to separate the front of the trailer makes the loading and unloading process of large equipment much more manageable. This is a significant advantage as 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. There is no more dangerous loading over the top of rear axles and trailer. So if you require a trailer that can manage heavy loads and simplifies the loading process, RGN trailers from Kingpin Trailers are a great option!
