Choice Hydraulic Folding Gooseneck Trailers
A folding gooseneck drops its own nose to the ground under hydraulic power, making a 6-degree front ramp — over-the-nose loading without ever detaching the neck from the truck.
Choice builds the FG series on an 18" main-beam perimeter frame with 100,000 psi flanges and 10" I-beam crossmembers on 18" centers, rated 70,000 to 120,000 lb. The tapered nose carries a lift eye and upper-flange reinforcement on the neck ramp beams; thirteen swing-out outriggers per side handle wide tracks.
Crews that load and unload many times a day often prefer a folding neck over a detachable — nothing to uncouple, no neck to set down. If you're weighing the two, our sales team runs both configurations against your loads; see also Choice HDG lowboys.

Frequently asked questions
Folding is faster cycle-to-cycle and never leaves the truck; detachable gives a completely clear deck front and lower effective load angle for the biggest machines.
