DEFINITION

Classification: 280/425.2

With additional detachable or shiftable gooseneck:

(under subclass 425.1) Vehicles in which, in addition to the coupling facilitation, the articulated connection is at the forward end of an inverted L or U shaped member attached to the leading end of a trailer and the coupling facilitating lift is between the tractor and the gooseneck.

(1) Note. Coupling facilitation between the trailer and the gooseneck is not proper for this subclass.

(2) Note. The L or U shaped member may be disconnected or shifted relative to the trailer principally for lowering the trailer bed.
