gooseneck trailer

Swiveling bed trailer

A gooseneck trailer is a heavy-duty trailer that connects to a truck bed via a vertical coupler resembling a goose's curved neck.

The hitch point sits directly over the truck's rear axle rather than behind it, allowing for greater stability and heavier loads than conventional bumper-pull trailers.

Common for hauling livestock, horses, and heavy equipment: They loaded the cattle into the gooseneck trailer.
