Folding Hand Cart

[tomg]

Hi

 

I'm new to this forum and am posting this for a friend who doesn't have internet access. He was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the attached photos.

It is of a folding hand cart (it says 'cart hand folding' on the plate)

 

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom..

 

welcome to the forum, maybe you could tell us a bit about yourelf & vehicle in the Introductions & Welcome section

You might need to wait for a reply from the experts, but it looks very much like the description of something I've seen currently for sale (milweb) at present, called a folding para trailer, also for vehicle towing - the swinging arms are definitely for vehicle towbar use. Believed made by James Motorcycle Co., asking £1000 :shake: Look under vehicle park, trailers, lower down in list (no pic)

 

If any of the icecream contents are still frozen, I'd be up for a box or two :whistle:

Welcome anyway.

Thanks. I don't have a military vehicle I'm afraid, i'm just posting the photos for a friend who is an avid collector of unusual vehicles and rescued one of these carts (worse condition than the ones in the photo) from the scrapyard!

He is trying to find out some history and info on it. I searched the web for him to not much avail.

 

N.O.S. Thanks, that's the one! he's already been in contact with the guy (i think he saw the ad. in a military magazine) and it's the same unit, they are exchanging information on it trying to find out more info.

I don't have a military vehicle I'm afraid

 

That's never been a problem in this place, as long as you don't mind a short stint cleaning clubhouse washrooms and workshops :-D

Don't worry tom, lots of people round here need spare hands. A nice find, most of the small stuff like that got dumped at the time or worked to death afterwards.

Think I'm inclined to agree with you, on this one, N.O.S

Sort of lightweight kit I'd like behind MW,.............but NOT at £1000 :sweat:
