Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailers, also known as detachable gooseneck trailers, are specialized heavy-haul trailers designed to transport oversized and overweight equipment or machinery. These trailers feature a detachable front section, allowing for the creation of a ramp. This feature facilitates the easy loading and unloading of items that cannot be lifted by a crane or forklift. A business may choose to obtain use of these trailer types via a rental agreement, which provides temporary access to the equipment without requiring a significant capital expenditure.
Obtaining temporary use of these heavy-haul trailers can offer significant advantages to companies involved in construction, heavy machinery transport, and specialized freight. Rather than purchasing, which requires a large upfront investment and ongoing maintenance costs, leasing allows businesses to access the specific type of trailer needed for a particular project, thus maximizing efficiency and minimizing expenses. Historically, renting such equipment has provided operational flexibility, aligning costs more closely with project revenues, and enabling access to modern equipment without the burdens of ownership.
