The Curt Gooseneck Hitch # C60730 that you referenced is not specifically described by Curt as being for commercial use. However, in actual practice the 30,000-lb rating of this gooseneck will not be the limiting factor for any application; that will be your truck tow rating.

The 2012 Ram 1500 series pickups, for example, have maximum trailer weight ratings that range from a low of 5050-lbs for the 4 X 2 short box Sport with 5.7L Hemi V8 to the high of 9100-lbs for the Tradesman and Express versions.

Your trailer itself may be subject to varying state and federal requirements if it is registered as a commercial trailer.

For reference I have linked both written installation instructions and a review video for this Curt hitch.
