What is a RGN Trailer?

When it comes to transporting heavy equipment and oversized loads, one term that often comes up in logistics and heavy haul trucking is the RGN trailer. But what is an RGN trailer, and why is it considered a must-have in specialized freight transportation?

ZW Group’s RGN (Removable Gooseneck) lowbed semi trailer is a top-tier solution in the world of heavy-duty transport. Designed for strength, flexibility, and operational efficiency, this trailer is ideal for hauling construction machinery, mining equipment, agricultural vehicles, and more.

In this article, we’ll explore what makes an RGN trailer essential, how it works, and what features set ZW Group’s RGN trailers apart in the global trailer market.

Understanding the Basics: What Is an RGN Trailer?

An RGN trailer, or Removable Gooseneck trailer, is a type of Lowbed semi trailer that allows the front gooseneck section to be detached. This design enables the trailer to be lowered to the ground, allowing equipment to be driven directly onto the deck without the need for ramps or lifting gear.

Key Features of an RGN Trailer:

• Removable gooseneck: Detaches hydraulically or mechanically for easy loading.

• Low deck height: Allows for taller cargo to be transported while remaining within legal height limits.

• Multiple axles: Can be configured for 2, 3, 4, or more axles to handle higher payload capacities.

• Modular design: Extendable decks and additional axle attachments are optional.
  ZW Group offers both standard and customized RGN trailers tailored to diverse industrial and commercial needs.

Why Choose an RGN Trailer for Heavy Hauling?

1. Ground-Level Loading:

With the gooseneck removed, the trailer’s front drops to the ground. This makes it easy to drive or roll heavy machinery onto the trailer bed, eliminating the need for loading ramps or cranes.

2. Versatility:

RGN trailers can handle a wide range of cargo — from excavators and bulldozers to transformers, windmill parts, and oversized industrial equipment.

3. High Load Capacity:

Thanks to their robust frame and axle options, RGN lowbed trailers are capable of carrying extremely heavy loads — often exceeding 100 tons in multi-axle configurations.

4. Improved Safety:

The low center of gravity helps stabilize heavy cargo during transport, especially on uneven terrain or highways.
