Air-tow Trailer: Gooseneck
The features of the Air-tow line now incorporated in a gooseneck model. The heavy duty steel diamond deck remains level as it raises and lowers. You now have safe and easy loading as well as added maneuverability when towing.
Why a Gooseneck?
Goosenecks are not for everyone; however, they do have several advantages.
Extra load and weight distribution to the tow vehicle insures safer and better operator control. A gooseneck can accept twenty to twenty five percent hitch load, while a bumper hitch can carry only ten to fifteen percent. The hitch weight is placed directly over the rear wheels, any lateral pressure is transferred directly to the ground through the truck tires. A gooseneck is noticeably more stable when traveling curvy roads.
Enhanced maneuverability is a real plus! This is especially helpful when backing the trailer or when there is limited space for making a u-turn.
