Having the truck loaded with ballast would help a bit, at least it might stop the trailer lifting the rear of the truck off the ground. There was an occurence once, where an Army Bedford MK 4x4 4 tonner towing a tandem axle tiltbed trailer with a Fox armoured car on it, lost it in a big way when the trailer took over, it ended up that the trailer rotated around the towing eye, wiping the Fox off the bed (chain restraints broke), leaving the truck standing with trailer still attached, but upside down. I am sure the Bedford would have been unladen. Scary !

Ballast
Hi Richard
If you look at the carrier... that's the one with the extra ballast, not the truck! EDIT: The trailer with the cab 12 is a 6 ton recovery trailer as you will have noted. Braking tests were carried out at 10mph, 20mph and 30mph and they noted a transfer of weight to the front wheels of the truck. Quote:

Light Tank/Carrier Trailer
Hi Guys,
we have one of these in the museum. Very heavy to tow! Had it behind our Inter 6x6 and couldnt get above about 30Km/hr. The carrier on it doesnt have any internals yet so weight wasnt the problem.

These 6 wheel trailers are called 7.5ton light recovery. i have owned 3 over the years. they are not uncommon in the UK. i know where there are 2 still laying on farms. There is somee great footage on how they are used on an old British Army recovery training film from the war, it shows the troops winching a carrier on the back of the trailer.
There were 3 differet marks all with variations on the brakes. I my view they are not worth the effort of towing one, best place for one is in a museum .

Trailers
Hi Guys
We are working on one of the single axle trailers at the moment.. very very rusty though as it was recovered from a sea side environment.. I would love to see some detailed photos of the brake mechaism etc and the hydrolic pivot set up as well. The mudgaurds are extras I think as no information I have found shows mud guards. Tim

Rare find
Will be back out there over the w/end, didn,t think it would cause this much interest, better charge the batteries in the camera. The guards look the same colour, the brkts look original OR at least army fitted.
