Murray Trailer Robo Link Mechanical Gooseneck

Murray Trailer's latest patent pending design is a great time saving feature for any lowbed driver who finds themselves detaching the gooseneck throughout the day. Our "Robo Link" is an air operated device that can both pull the gooseneck links off of the neck and deck pins and push the links back onto the pins with a simple flip of a switch!

this is just me asking from inexperiance, but would you be able to back under the the gooseneck like that with the trailer fully loaded?? and is this how most of these trailers work or is this a new design??

@nick1320 This is not a new design for the gooseneck. Only thing new about this is the way the links are removed. We have been building this style of detachable gooseneck since the late 40's early 50's and you can easily get back under a fully loaded trailer as long as the ramps on the truck are built properly (built too steep then you will have issues). On a regular basis we will load up to 94,000lbs and then back under the gooseneck without issue and have been doing it for years.

@edwardojmorillo1 let me ask you Edwardo, what is not "smart" about this trailer? What can they do better? I'm not trying to put you down I would really like to hear what you would do to improve it. I have pulled these trailers and other brands. And I can tell you this they wouldn't build anything they themselves wouldn't put behind their own trucks...

@dgarr64 You are exactly correct....This week we have just put two trailers in service into our own fleet with this option, a Professional and an Easy Tail, to go along with the other two that we have already been using for almost a year now with the "Robo Links".

First of all you have to have a tractor that is set up for this. You couldn't just back any truck under that gooseneck and slide it up the frame..Secondly what if you have a hell of a load on that trailer and poor conditions such as snow or mud. You think tht truck is going to back under that trailer and pick it up? Or do you think your gonna need a 30mph running start to even come close to getting underneath? This isn't for me. I'll take the long way and know i'll get hooked.

@McGillicutty88 You are correct in the fact that the truck has to be modified with ramps in order to use the detachable gooseneck but as for getting under the trailer that is a non issue. As long as the ramps on the truck are built properly it takes very little effort even while loaded to get back under the trailer. If the ground conditions are poor then to help the situation out prior to backing under you would just move the machine as far back on the trailer as possible.

Sorry, belives me..... And it does hurt a trailer to load over the SIDE....

[dgarr64]

@MurrayTrailer hey Chaz you guys should put up a video of a truck backing under a loaded trailer. Also no one beloved me when I tell them it's ok to load over the back, and it doesn't hurt the trailer.

@MurrayTrailer awesome good to know and thank you, i appreciate the response

Looks like a bunch of east coast chit talkers posting where their neanderthal transport thinking doesn't belong.

I'm young so the robolink doesn't appeal to me but I do appeciate the innovation! I'm quick and nimble when breaking down. The air release fifth wheel though is something I wish more guys would consider, saves two clutch operations each load/unload.

Murray all the way!

@MurrayTrailer you guys can do better than this trialer
