The only complete ones I have seen photos of I found by searching radar on this forum,but your photos have answered quite a few questions about my trailer plus brought up a few more.All the photos show the trailers with single wheels on the front but mine and "yours" both have duals,mine did use to carry a Cat D6 around though and I know that the previous owner fitted the extra wheels at the Gold Coast before they brought it home in the late 1950,s.
When I got mine the previous owners had all the radar shelter turntable , tool boxes and stabilisers that they proudly gave me. I am missing the adjustable feet which I see that "yours" has.I would like to know how the single wheels were fitted to the dual wheel hubs,does any one have a parts book for one of these trailers? Cheers Ken

Cant help with the parts book but would love to see some photo's of the original trailers during their time in service. Sounds like you better come and grab it Ken. The lurkers on this forum have now seen it so be quick... Keefy...I like the way youre thinking.

Radar Trailer
One of my mates has two of these parked in his yard, thought they were Radar, now we know for sure!!. Both of them have singles on the front and duals on the rear. No legs though, or data plates. I wonder what happened to the "House" off all of these??. Perhaps turned into a store room on a farm.
Look forward to some photo's, then we can clean up one of them and get it on display in the Museum.

Nov 24, 2010 we had three threads active on radar trailers. I found one link but the other links within that one didn't go anywhere for me this morning.

The last picture in the last post by "alamotex" has me thinking.
I know I have seen that trailer around here, somewhere, in the last 2 years but cant figure out where, now I'm kicking myself. I am, by my own admission, not a WW2 buff but do recognise odd things. Now I will have to fire up the Mk1 brain memory and think if I can track where I was. R

Robin I note your address as Kingston, ON ? Would be most interested if your recollection of seeing a ZPI trailer, turns out to be close to home. The folks at the C and E Museum have never mentioned it. In my post #23 I incorrectly refer to the Australian War Museum..that should be the Australian War Memorial.
Cheers Brian

I have had the benefit of a small nap since my last post.
I am now absatively posalutely sure I have seen one of these. It is being used somewhere to house a generator. I'm fairly sure it was in a quarry and had to be mobile, and give weather cover, which it does. I think I saw it in the last 2 years. It may take me while to figure it out but leave that to me now, but don't hold your breath as it wont be that soon! R
