Rangie Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I was idly looking to see if I could determine which manufacturer made my Mk2 WT (a true Mk2, not an updated Mk1, with the later recessed Hydratow Mk4 Hitch) as its Body/ERM plate is missing but the chassis plate is there (FVE21A/3803). I started pooling references from various photos and the limited documents I have, I came up with the following: Widetrack Trailer Contracts Mk1 Contract: WV12094 - ? Mk2 Contract: FVE21A/352 - Arrow Construction Equipment Ltd Contract: FVE21A/3801 - GKN Sankey Contract: FVE21A/3802 - Arrow Construction Equipment Ltd Contract: FVE21A/3803 - ?? Contract: FVE21B/82 - ? Mk3 Contract: LVIA/231 - Universal Engineering Contract: LVIA/155 - Viking Trailers Contract: ???????? - Paratow Ltd Does anyone have some more info/contributions to add? I thought it may be an interesting subject (or rabbit hole depending on your level of obsession, ha ha). Alec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangie Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Thanks Clive, after lots of rummaging I've also found out my ERM working back from the chassis number and the Merlin Archive. Turns out it is a Paratow and an ex-generator trailer! FVE21A/3803 is Paratow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV1A/55 So I assume that is Universal Trailers Ltd which was very similar to R-B as opposed to Viking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
