Characteristics of detachable gooseneck lowboy trailer are that it can be detached from the front unlike with a lowbed semi trailer. This feature has been provided in an RGN trailer to enhance loading and offloading of cargo. The user has an easy time during such occasions. This is unlike for a lowbed semi trailer that load the cargo from rear. It is possible to carry heavy motorized machinery since the trailer can be lowered to its ramp.
