Trail King continues to build success for our customers, engineering a custom Hydraulic Detachable Gooseneck trailer with ideal features and low ground clearance capabilities. The loading destination of this Bus Hauler TKHDG was Trail King’s sister company, GILLIG, headquartered in Livermore, California.
A third-party vendor, Crown Hauling, was welcomed to GILLIG in March, to evaluate transport capabilities for GILLIG’s Zero-Emission Battery Electric Bus.
The specifications necessary to deliver these buses, post-production, required a custom touch, and Trail King engineers and team were up for the challenge. Trail King is known for customizing hauling solutions, expertly designing and manufacturing trailers for any payload and destination. The Bus Hauler TKHDG trailer included specifications for lower bolsters, a longer 60” rear platform, and roll-on black non-skid traction material. Aluminum ramps, stored in the gooseneck, can be utilized at the rear or the front of the trailer.
