Overview
From Witzco Challenger
Automated gooseneck detachment and ride height adjustment make the NGB front-loading trailer the perfect choice for efficiency on the job, ease of operation and increased safety. The NGB Series features a visible 4-position ride height adjustment which allows quick adjustments to the trailer’s ride height in 2” increments, for everyday versatility demanded in the field… such as uneven terrain, high crowns and off-road operations. The NGB Series utilizes an air-operated gooseneck safety lock feature. The locking pin actuator enhances operator safety, while assuring a reliable, secure trailer connection. A single-pivot articulator is adjusted by twin 6″ hydraulic cylinders, powered by a self-contained hydraulic system or an optional wetline. All trailer functions are controlled from the single operator station at the side of the gooseneck, allowing safe and easy access to all attach/detach and ride height control functions.

About removable gooseneck trailers
A removable gooseneck trailer is a lowboy whose front neck detaches — hydraulically or mechanically — so the deck rests on the ground and becomes its own ramp. Tracked and low-clearance machines drive on from the front without separate ramps or a dock. RGNs are the default choice for excavators over 30 tons, and the format scales with added axles, jeeps and boosters into the 100-ton-plus range for permitted loads.
