Default Interesting trailer pictures.

Hi Mariano

Those trailers are massive ......... they were designed for very heavy loads....... massive springs and 8 wheels.......possibly with air actuated brakes..... I do not remember ever seeing such trailers used by the Canadian army during that time.

Can only speculate that they would be of US origin and rated at 10 to 20 tons.

One of the close up of the front tow bar shows a device for locking the front axle in a forward position only ....locking the front axle from turning. Possibly and aid for backing up????

Normally CMP trailers have a small manufacturer's tag rivetted to the frame near the front left side.
