According to the official account of REME activities during WW2, the specialist trailers are described as so;

"Lightweight Airborne Workshop Trailers

Introduced in july 1942 primarilly to meet the needs of REME Workshops, Airborne Division. They were also used by RE, RASC and RE"

Their weight was kept to a minimum, even so the average total trailer weight was around 15 cwt.

I have come across some of these trailers still in service with the British Army during the '80's.
