Intriguing press trailer - standard or jury rig - what's the box things each side and writing on the ends?

Is that an Acetylene producer plant on the CMP?

Hope members know the answers.

Regards

Alex

The Vickers tank is a Mk.2A.

The truck is a captured Italian Lancia 3 RO N Mil. 6.5 ton 4x2. Without rear body.
Ahh, Vanderveen you champion.

The CMP is C60L cab 12 or 11.

The CMP answer is a total guess based on the exhaust outlet.
I'm probably wrong so I'll let the experts take over.

The boxes appear to be storage for lengths of Angle Iron. The ends of the boxes are open and the "Writing" is the ends of the sections of angle.

Hi,
that looks like a hydraulic press on the four-wheeled trailer.

Default Press

The press looks exactly the same as our 50 ton Servex press. Twin pumps, one for high speed one for maximum pressure. Manually elevated table via two wire cables and final position controlled by 4 pins.

Thanks for the heads up Tony! Put like that I see what you mean.

That carrier in the first pic isn't an LP1, it's a British made Carrier.
