Gooseneck Hitches Market Primed for Growth due to Rising Construction Activities

 

Gooseneck Hitches Market

Gooseneck hitches are trailer hitches that connect to tow vehicles through a ball mount and an accordion-style neck that allows vertical movements for easier vehicle maneuvering. They are commonly used for towing horse trailers, utility trailers, campers, travel trailers, and other mid-size towable loads.
