Rare find
Will be taking detailed pics over the w/end as this is the first single wheel recovery trailer I,ve seen. 1400/20 tyres. because of the width its recovery cost is high. It,s very complete, the drawbar is hinged by hydraulic ram, no major mods done, but what the hell towed it in OZ. certainly not the No 12 the previous owner had on the front of it.

These pics
The most available vehicles to tow it at the time were three-tonners, but it is clear they were outside the 'comfort zone'.
These particular images show a cab 12 C60L in towing trails at Monegeeta (the army's proving ground). The carrier on the trailer was loaded to a specific weight with added track sections dumped in the back. The trailer certainly took charge in the latter part of the test. Imagine driving the towing vehicle - a speed limit that must have been imposed (and you couldn't go fast on a flat road if you wanted to) there would have been restricted rear vision. Making a turn would have been hazardous, let alone an emergency stop. Quote:
