Types of folding gooseneck trailers

Hydraulic Folding Goosenecks have hydraulic cylinders that connect the trailer structure and the gooseneck. Powered with a wet kit from your truck or a self-contained hydraulic motor, these cylinders enable the front of the gooseneck to fold down at the hinge points, creating a front loading ramp.
