Rangie Posted April 2 Posted April 2 (edited) 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 - Sankey Mk2 Contract: FVE21A/352 - Arrow Construction Equipment Ltd Contract: FVE21A/3801 - GKN Sankey Contract: FVE21A/3802 - Arrow Construction Equipment Ltd Contract: FVE21A/3803 - Parotow Ltd Contract: FVE21B/82 - GKN Sankey 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. Edited August 20 by Rangie Update Quote

Rangie Posted April 2 Author 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
