Noticed a large dump truck driving around a construction site at the airport and the dump trailer it was carrying had a hitch almost as long as the trailer. Why is this? Maneuverability? Helps with leverage when dumping the trailer?

The hitch has to be long enough to swing the trailer out of the way so that he can dump the truck with the trailer out of the way – without unhooking.
Also a longer hitch gives easier control when backing into place.
