Hi, transporter man,
if you look up close at the trailer I am sure its the pole tr T82 after front end was put on but before we converted
into a tri axle.If it was Wilfy it would have being OCC939S the rebuilt works sleeper.Would have being Cargo
Fleet I think with pilling
Remember first Carrimore Mk9 conversion…yours and my new sierras on first test in the workshop
thank god it worked.Ken Robo got it after being converted.

No transporterman the trailer Im on about was just an ordinary flat maybe a 50ft er with the frame welded on the back. It must have been something just knocked up to satisfy Mono mans idea of not using extenables

I always feel better when I am doing it with vehicles that belong to someone else. Doing a loading trial tommorow with some Merc Sprinters.
