Sankey Trailers

[Tugger]

I am looking into getting on and have noticed some are labled as wide track and some not. I guessing wildly here, but I presume one is wider than the other, but can anyone tell me how much so or even better post a pic of each for me so i can see any other diffrences.

 

Cheers Tug

1/2 ton & 3/4 ton is 4ft 8in

3/4 ton wide track 5ft 6in

 

Big advantage of wide track is the drop down tailgate.

Another advantage of a wide track is that you can see it in your wing mirror, so at least you know you are still towing something!

 

As for the drop down tailgate, was this a Health & Safety requirement to stop soldiers hurting their backs getting stuff out, or perhaps the MOD abandoned the need for the Sankey to be amphibious as in the sealed tub version!!!!!!!!! :-D
