UnReal trailer with a "FLOATING Gooseneck" ?!?

What happens here

The 'Float Ride' air-cushioned gooseneck features an 'Impossible Smooth' line (likely referring to the air cylinder/shock absorber) and an air suspension control panel with inflate/deflate valves and a pressure gauge. This system allows the driver to adjust the air pressure, effectively controlling the ride quality and how the trailer handles load transfer.

Goal: The Float Ride system addresses the shock transfer issue by incorporating an air suspension system directly into the gooseneck, allowing for active energy dissipation.

What they say

of that out right here right here and you can get just about almost all of it so it'll handle a lot of the weight transfer too it definitely will and the secret behind this okay any trailer has vertical and horizontal energy being transferred all the time this system this system takes care of both the horizontal and vertical in one motion and the way it does that say he's got a load out going down the road let's say you hit a bump you're running 70 miles an hour down i-85 i-90 i don't care what i don't know whatever you're going bumpy roads wherever you go you hit a bump this airbag is going to compress right here so when that compresses that's what is that that's horizontal you dissipate the horizontal shock energy but when that compresses what does the deck do the deck dives down anywhere from a 32nd of an inch all the way down to a max of four four inches so when it does that now four inches the max you're never going to do that this trailer is designed it's in full control not only is it full control it makes your truck 30 40 percent more in control and as we all know on our truck where's most of the braking take place
