Chev engine
That WR-prefixed engine is evidently a 1943 MODEL CMP, so from a C30, C60L or CGT I think.

More Pix
A couple of more detailed pix.
IMG_7534.JPG IMG_7536.JPG IMG_7538.JPG IMG_7542.JPG IMG_7543.JPG Recycled Blitz parts are evident. The only problem that I can see if it were a forklift is the absence of any mechanism to keep the forks horizontal... Maybe there is another ram missing? The owner of the 'thing' was told by his father that it was a bomb-lifter?? Would I be correct in thinking that this is post-war construction from disposals parts? HH

Clark connection?
I keep thinking that it looks like a Clark lifter. I gathered from a bit of digging that Clark Equipment entered into manufacturing license agreement with Tutt-Bryant Limited of Sydney, Australia in 1948, which was the beginning of overseas production by Clark. Could it therefore be a post-war job, using CMP parts for economic reasons?

The RAAF serial indicates that it is post war.
The yellow colour indicates that its primary role is on the flight line. Its three wheel configeration indicates it is dsigned to be used in a restricted operating space. The lack originally of any ROPS also confirms that point. However I have never seen one before which rules out it having anything to do with C47 or P2V airplanes and its serial indicates late 40's or early 50's into service. It could however have been designed for use on an ordinance depot. Regards Col
