ABSTRACT:
A gooseneck trailer having rear wheels and a deck for carrying a load includes a gooseneck supported at the front end of the deck for swinging movement between a towing position, abutting the deck front end, in which the gooseneck may be coupled to a tractor, and an open position, to facilitate front loading or unloading. In one embodiment a lever may be extended from the gooseneck to enable it to be swung manually between towing and open positions. In other embodiments the trailer includes a double acting cylinder and a control circuit for selectively applying pressurized fluid to the cylinder to swing the gooseneck between the two positions.
