Agree; I was looking at the Data Book photo which shows a different type of trailer chassis. Maybe a prototype? I think we agree the one in service was based on the standardised 15-cwt/20-cwt trailer chassis.

I used to have one of those trailers and regularly used it for sandblasting. The chassis was made by Gardner, and the compressor unit itself was an Ingersol rand 105 cfm compressor powered by a Waukesha tractor engine. Once I got a large enough electric compressor I moved the compressor trailer out to the back 40 and sold it off just last year as part of an equipment rationalization. I will say this about it: it was a very heavy trailer and a bugger to load onto a trailer, as it would lift the back of the truck loading it, and try to shoot the truck and towing trailer forward. It was also very thirsty, consuming a 5 gallon can of gasoline for every 3 hours of use.

Any pics of your trailer?
