That sure is alot of extra work... especially if it was raining. Pain in the ass in the winter up here in Canada. Love using scissor necks, so fast and easy and work great in the winter. : )
@MoeDCFCD91 the neck stays connected to the 5th wheel in normal loading/offloading operations. The lifting mechanism is hydraulically operated, it lifts the loaded trailer into the transport position. You don't "stab" a loaded trailer...
I just noticed that, you are correct. Maybe I should have watched more carefully and not assume that all RGN trailers are hydraulic. We have 2 Kalyn Siebert RGN's and one XL Specialized but they run off of the PTO hydraulics on the tractors.
@killer2600 equipment hauling is thru the roof down in my part of Texas with the Eagle Four region with all of the oil drilling going on down here. Everything we have is moving right now. Hell I gotta move a JD 330 tomorrow from San Antonio to Christine TX...
@mta415 you most certainly can stab a loaded trailer. How do you get under it. In most cases you would load over the back. Some prices you have to break down the neck and load, such as 815/825s
Omg still in the 1970 , had never seen a mechanical run until I moved to NA . Wreckers , noteboom , kassborher , goldhoffer. Schruler . Nicolas , faymonville , cometto all must be laughing there Sox off even forward thinking aspen trailers are decades behind . Most heavy haul professionals in Europe would not work with this as OHS would have issues with having to be under neck to release keepers .
@mta415 Yeah you never see a mechanical gooseneck in real world anymore. Start to forget they ever existed. How's the equipment haul side of the industry going? The general freight side is in the toilet of course and tons of youtube videos to lay testament to it.
I'll just answer with how many 13 axle rigs do you see traveling across the US/Canada/Mexico? Now take that number and rationalize it with how many 5 axle rigs you see. Those are your real world figures.

@mta415 this is a mechanical gooseneck, there are no hydraulics.

@MoeDCFCD91 Its called low gear, you back up aligne the ramps/ rollers and lock the 5th wheel and go

so what happens when there is a heavy peice loaded and you cannont force the neck to roll back up on the trailer

I missed the part where he slid the fifth wheel back to its rearward position.
I didn’t see that part either. Lol😂
@killer2600 You see nothin but mechanical rgns out here in Ca lighter and faster....

These things are a pain in the ass.

I would rather have a MURRAY, much better trailer.
