For the people that think it's unsafe, the circumstances involved for those brackets to come off and the trailer separating, mean a far greater amount of destruction are already happening. Like a jacknife or rollover. A pothole isn't going to just bounce it apart.

*The reliability of this machine is a breath of fresh air. In a world of uncertainties, its consistent performance provides a sense of security and trust, making it an indispensable part of my daily routine.*

Kenworth 953 or 963 Oilfield trucks designed to be used in the desert usually equipped with flotation tires to haul VERY HEAVY loads from location to location.

Big is beautiful & this is 1 glorious looking beast, whoever thought it up & then went ahead & built it, kudo's brilliant looking truck.

Nicely done, shows that guys who know what they are doing and have the kit make it look nice and easy.

Loved it. Did this for many years. Love that kittykat. Retired now, but thanks for refreshing my memories. 👍❤️

Magnificent engineering. Skill, precision driving .... I'm impressed.

First time I saw a detachable goose trailer I couldn't believe how simple and slick it worked. Way easier and safer than any ramp over the rear trailer tires. I agree that at first it doesn't look strong enough but it works and I've not heard of any failures in my western province of Canada.

A lowboy

Grey Nomad - a similar system is quite common in Australia especially among the upper echelon of the lowloader heavy haulage community. Here the primemover (tractor) is uncoupled and the Gooseneck is hydraulically folded out flat (known as a folding gooseneck trailer) to form an easily negotiable and very low trailer. This is very expensive equipment compared to rear ramps but it does have the advantages shown in this video.

What really makes this setup slick is having someone doing the airlines and such for you!!

I must have watched this clip half a dozen times over the last few years, love it!

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this I’m familiar with gooseneck trailers and trombones. I found it interesting to see a different way to do the hook up of the “neck” to the trailer compared to the ones I’ve seen here in 🇬🇧 Something that I haven’t seen at all before this video is a sliding Fifth Wheel which I found cool to see!! So thank you once again!!

You are so very welcome! I'm happy I was able to bring something new to you. Many people from other parts of the world leave comments saying how this entire setup is so antiquated and basically stupid compared to the systems that they use. All I can say is that this system is as light weight as can be yet strong, as inexpensive as they come to build, purchase, and maintain, and just utterly reliable. The most advanced thing is that pneumatic pin system on the sliding fifth-wheel and the airbag suspension on the truck to lift and lower everything. I was thrilled to be able to get all of the steps from such a good perspective and to be able to share them in this video. Thank you for your comment.

Hi, @stebo59, you are absolutely correct, it is a CAT 3412 under that hood. If one looks at the other video of this very Kenworth, that video takes a motion view of the underside of the tractor; as the engine oil pan comes into view, it is of the CAT 3412 engine. The CAT 3412 engine installed is a 1,000 hp double turbocharged engine. The axles are Clark planetary axles, a giveaway is as if one looks at some of the earlier Clark (formerly Michigan) front end loaders the same axle cover design is used. The only thing interesting is the ladder frame/chassis, I don't think a double rail design is used, which the KW oil-field tractors currently use. It could be an "I" beam cross-section perhaps, like what was used on many Mack Off-Highway tractors, decades ago, like the Mack model M and LRVSW series tractors, some of which used Cummins VT1710 engines, and Mack own "Plani-Drive" planetary rear axles. The Facebook site for American Heavy Moving & Rigging, Chino, CA has info on this Kenworth and my info on this Kenworth is courtesy of that Facebook site.

AAAyyyGGG Removable Neck is the proper term. Most now have what are called "Sissor Necks", or laydown necks. You pull the locking pins and lower the neck with the winch as you drive forwards. It makes for a full width ramp, easy to load over and quick to laydown and pick up.www.ingeniumengineering.com/Images/trailer06.gif

I have seen those as well. These work well in warm climates, however during a Canadian winter when your truck and trailer are packed with ice and snow, digging out and trying to start a small engine has proven to be problematic. As most of the oilfield and equipment haulers are equipped with winches, a good operator can unpin and lay a neck down very quickly. This has just become the standard practice here.

+Adriaan Verburg Come to Alberta, sissor necks rule the day. In the past they were heavy, but tthe newer designs are alot stronger and lighter. Most of the new 40 wheelers have sissor necks because they are as light and as strong as the removables. They are much faster to lay down and you do not need the aluminum ramps as seen in the video. The ramps for our 40 wheeler are 6 feet long and require two men to handle. The owner of the company assures us a new 11 wide one is in the budget. We simply cannot haul the newer bigger and longer service rigs anymore. Nor compete price wise with the faster sissor necks.
