Description
Aluminum Gooseneck Built Around 9,960 lbs of Payload
Steel goosenecks do the same job, but they do it heavier and they rust. Every structural part of this pre-owned 2024 Alum-Line 8.5 ft x 24 ft is aluminum, from the channel superstructure to the extruded decking and the rims, which is why it weighs just 3,040 lbs empty while still carrying a 13,000 lb gross rating. What that arithmetic leaves you is 9,960 lbs for a compact tractor, a skid steer, a pair of UTVs or a deck full of implements.
The hitch style matters as much as the material. A gooseneck sets the pin weight over the rear axle of the truck instead of hanging it off the bumper, so the tow vehicle stays level, the turning circle tightens up in a crowded farmyard, and crosswinds stop being an event. Operators who tow several days a week usually make this switch once and never look back.
Loading is handled by three flip-over ramps that drop into position across the entire rear. Working with the beavertail, they give a shallow approach that low-slung machines clear without dragging their leading edge. A sliding winch track with ratchets runs the deck, and D-rings, a tool box and a spare on its carrier came with the unit.

Two questions decide whether this trailer suits your operation. Does your truck carry a gooseneck ball or hitch plate rated above the loaded weight rather than merely above the empty weight, sized for the 2-5/16 in coupler? And does your machine fit the ramps? Flip-over ramps are excellent under wide, low equipment, but they are unforgiving if an attachment hangs out past the ramp edge, so measure track width and ground clearance first.
Being a used unit, give it a short shakedown after it arrives: cycle the break-away switch, check the ramp hinge pins, test the brakes on a quiet road and run your eye along the deck extrusions for lifted seams. Rubber torsion axles need less maintenance than leaf springs, though they also hide their condition, so listen for anything harsh over broken pavement.
