antar Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 This is I believe a 'Bridge Launching Trailer' made by Cranes of Dereham. Has anybody got anymore info/pictures on them? Yes I have the operator handbook for one. That one would be in Rush Green Motors I think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon stolly Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 More so the 2 tonner!!! The two tonner is is a dream to tow, and a nightmare to reverse!! Even when placed on the front pintel of a Land Rover, maneuvering is is difficult and time consuming ( that is on flat, firm, even ground) On a side camber, or rutted land, you better off buying a gun and topping yourself!

People have often remarked on my abilities in manoeuvreing trailers into places they wouldnt attempt........... The reply to which is " you've never seen me with a four wheeled one then !"

The Auck Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I would immagine due to the number used that a number of manufacturers probably made them. They were used a lot for transporting/recovering Bren Carriers. Here's a picture of same. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels v Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 This german sub was found in the 70s in one of the danish royal arms museum storage hangers, it was later traded to a german museum and the trailer disappeared, :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWade Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Iam doing a trailer very similar to that one but looking at the one on the forum the front axle looks fixed, and is not a knock out. My trailer has a large pin through the front and if you jack up trailer taking the weight you can pull out the pin and the front axle will pull out on it wheels.

antarmike Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 My wife bought this ex military thingy from Ramco, not knowing what it was. They called it a truck barrow, but I am lead to believe that it was a vehicle trailer used by airborn forces and could be used behind Champ/jeep/ Land-Rover etc. More info welcome. Including de-ciphering the code on the wheel??? please. Anyone else want one??? http://milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=47556&cat=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) I had a BT fibre glass box on a Rubery Owen Two tonner and I found it very top heavy. In the end I welded stops under the front cross axle pivot to stop it rolling over too far. Completely unorigional, but I never intended to use the trailer off-road in the way it was originally envisaged. These stops still had about 1/2" clear to allow a little movement but took out the wild excesses of body roll.

Tony B Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The Pig man at College Pete Mountain was ex RAF, he'd driven the Karriers with trailer fore and aft. Watching him reverse trailers was poetry in motion, and made us snotty students sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
