Trail King’s new Mechanical Detachable Gooseneck (MG) trailer is said to deliver lightweight strength and maximum corrosion resistance.

The upper deck and the wheel area of the new MG feature aluminum crossmembers and outer rails as standard equipment, meaning it’s 750-1000 lb lighter than previous models, the maker says.

The standard crossmembers in the main deck are 8-in. I-beams alternating with 4-in. I-beams for 12-in. spacing in the outer bays, although aluminum crossmembers are available as an option, as are aluminum box-beam crossmembers to accommodate optional aluminum pullouts.

The MG still features four steel main I-beams constructed of one-piece web and flange material that’s welded on all four sides to seal and protect the seams from rust and corrosion. Then all steel is primed and painted with two-component urethane primer and two-component polyurethane paint before decking or any air, hydraulic, or electrical lines are installed. This includes the new wheel area, where the deck and the wheel area are both primed and painted separately before being huck-bolted together. The result is claimed to be maximum corrosion resistance, even in places you can’t see.

The wheel area on the new MG is also designed with a longer and deeper mini-boom trough to better accommodate the hitches on agriculture equipment, as well as many kinds of construction equipment.

Other standard equipment on the new MG includes removable gooseneck rollers; air-activated, positive self-locking pin for the gooseneck; bent-style D-rings and outrigger brackets; adjustable ride height control.

The new MG trailer is available in 60-, 75-, and 90,000-lb capacities.
