Not even sure which forum to put this in.

Perhaps it's off a trailer.

More of a hunch than anything that it is military.

Any ideas lads?

Too fancy for....
 

....a garbage bin......

...overbuilt enough to be military with that curved roof.......

....could come in handy as a shelter when the wife gets made at you!!!!

How big is it....Jeep trailer size or bigger?

size matters
 

I knew someone would probably ask that. :confused

And fair enough.... only problem is I don't know Bob.

Pictures were sent to me by a farmer.

Best guess is about two jeep trailers (I think).

Owner is old and adamant that it is war surplus.

I'd guess a generator cover

There were a range of plant trailers built by McGrath that were fitted with Generators, Compressors and Water Pumps.

However, it looks similar to (close enough) the the body off a Nunn Searchlight generator.
Just what I need for my chassis without body! Don't suppose you could get measurements?

Based on the nearby batteries on the ground 2 Jeep Trailers seems to be an accurate guess to size. (did I just say 'accurate guess'? I have been working in government too long...) The doors look interesting. Are those latches at the top? If so it would have to sit low enough if on a trailer to be reached from the ground. That search light generator chassis you showed would be possible, or something similar. But I doubt it would sit high like a truck bed.

Well done
 

Thanks Fellows,

I think the assessment it might be a generator cover is spot on.

Farmer will hopefully take some measurements and report back.
