In Search of this Engineers bridging trailer

[Robin Craig]

Good day,

I am, on behalf of others in parts foreign and distant, am trying to find this trailer type, so as to salvage certain brake specific parts from it, unavailable in that country.

These trailers were used by Canadian Engineers for transport of certain bridging trailer components including pontoons, the trailer tilted to dump at the waters edge. The same chassis and axles were used on non tilting trailers also.

There were couple of these in Ed's scrap yard on the Dwyer Hill Road but as yet I have not been there recently, Google earth shows some considerable change since I was last there so my hopes are not high and hence me casting the net wider and my posting here.

I wonder if any remain as monuments and wonder if a base would allow removal of brake parts to help keep another unit going as the parts dont hold the trailer up just stop it moving so could likely be removed and wheels put back on. Just think out aloud.

Any help gratefully received.
