Gooseneck Dolly

Safty hitch is the one that they sell there at 380 and 35 . From what I can tell it doues not pivot, it ties into the bumper. They have a nifty video on there.

I do believe the white one shown on their home page, along with a flatbed gooseneck trailer, is what I saw. Hadn't seen one before yesterday.

You see ones for semi trailers a lot and are called Joe-Dogs or Jeeps. I made one to pull my manuer spreader behind my ATV due to the hitch height and the toung weight. I saw one used by a guy delivering goose neck stock trailers. He had one behind the first goose neck pulling another. As far as backing up behind the ATV was not bad. Not sure how you would do it with double trailers for any distance.

I can tell you that regular semi-truck doubles are a bear to back up even trying to stay in a straight line. You cannot really see the "jiffster" or "dolly" or what ever you wish to call it until it is out of line enough that you need to start over just trying to stay straight. Some drivers do get pretty darn good with them though.

All things seemingly related when it comes to various laws and the combinatioins we talk about on this site, pulling doubles with a non air brake application is murky as well.

From what I know, it is illegal in some states to pull doubles period. Some you can pull a fifth wheel/gooseneck and a tag along behind. I am thinking using a jiff is for the most part "verboten"?

Regardless, I absolutely would not want to share the road with the average driver running doubles with no 'long combination" training.

We pull doubles around here. I have done so with a 30' BP trailer then a Jet Ski behind it though 4 states with no issues.

Guy across the street pulls a 35' 5th wheel and a 21' speed boat behind that. See it every weekend at the marina.
