This could be a candidate for the most unusual trailed item for Corowa 2013. "The Year of the TRAILED or TOWED ITEM". So keep it in mind and get those trailers out and behind your MV for 2013.

The following information was posted on the MVCA forum this week. If anyone is interested in this unique trailer, contact Andrew ASAP as it sounds like it may be stripped of parts.


Hi,

My old man has picked up a proper Army clothes steriliser boiler and autoclave trailer unit. It looks very complete, but a bit weathered. We are into steam so he intends to wreck it to get the boiler and associated steam valves off it. It weighs around 8 ton (dad and the crane guy guessed 4 ton!!) and is on a heavy twin axle trailer, with blitz style wheels. I am guessing it is from around WW2 or after. It has taken 2 crane lifts and a drop deck semi to get it home from the closed down apiarist's factory (used to soften honey for bottling).
I imagine this is a very rare item to have survived, but also not the most sought after piece of equipment.

If someone thinks they need this to complete their Military collection, let me know. Otherwise it will be scrapped.

Contact me on Email: bluewills@hotmail.com

Cheers,

Andrew.

Has anyone chased up this trailer? It would be a shame to let it go to the scrapper.
