Roll trailer

is a platform trailer with wheels only at the rear end of the platform. At the front end there is a drive-in opening for a gooseneck-like and hydraulically movable towing coupling of the towing vehicle. These vehicle systems are used, for example, in ro/ro traffic (roll-on/roll-off) and in heavy ironworks and steelworks applications.
