Fastest gooseneck in the industry.

Hydraulic removable “hook & shaft” design on Fontaine Specialized is superior to ordinary pin & plate method. It offers greater versatility so you can connect/disconnect on uneven ground. A v-guide on deck helps position the gooseneck for faster & easier operation.

Convenient removable kingpin.

You can reposition or replace a damaged kingpin on your lowbed trailer with ease. Dual kingpin slots let you reposition the kingpin from 102" swing radius to 81" swing radius. Use 81" kingpin position to comply with kingpin-to-rear-axle restrictions.
NOTE: Available on Workhorse 55LCC. Not available on Workhorse 50 and 51.
