What was that hitch called?

There is a hitch system that mounts underneath the truck, which has a long swinging drawbar mounted underneath the truck. The trailer is attached rigidly to the long drawbar, which puts the pull point and pivot point for the trailer up near the axle, like a gooseneck.

The only name I'm coming up with is Kelderman, but either they don't offer it anymore or I've got the wrong name.

Cool idea but apparently, they haven't been able to get sales to take off as the website says special order only.

Not sure how complicated it is to install but even if it only moves the pivot point near the rear axle (say a foot behind), it should make a huge difference in sway.

Came across the following and can see why it didn't take off. It's a lot more to install than a standard hitch and weighs a whopping 270lb.

Now if they could get in with one of the truck manufacturers, so it got designed in as OEM...
