Accessories You Need for Your Gooseneck Trailer

Gooseneck trailers are designed to carry some pretty heavy loads. That being said, if you’re looking to transport heavy machinery, large objects, or hefty freight, you’ll want to grab some of the helpful accessories listed in our article below. Not only will they make packing and securing your cargo even easier, but you’ll find loading your gooseneck trailer to be more efficient overall! 

Chains & Load Binders

While straps and hooks are a great option for tying down heavy items, they may not be equipped to carry the impressive loads common for a gooseneck trailer. To make sure your items stay exactly where they are, you’ll want to purchase a set of chains and a load binder. Once you’ve got everything where it should be, place your chain down and use your load binder to tighten and lock it into place. 

Ramps and Hitch Light 

While most gooseneck trailers will come with ramps already installed, there are plenty of models on the market that are missing this important feature. If you’re planning on loading equipment and machinery, or other extremely heavy objects, you’ll need to purchase a ramp installation kit or a separate set of ramps to load your freight. If you’re often making late-night or early-morning stops, it may also be wise to purchase a helpful trailer hitch light. These handy tools are magnetic—meaning they require no installation— and will provide plenty of lighting when loading up your trailer at dusk or dawn.
