Trailer, 1/2 ton, Jointers, 2 wheeled, Mk.1

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Here are some pictures of a Trailer, 1/2 ton, Jointers, 2 wheeled, Mk.1. It is owned by a KTR club member in the Netherlands. He would like to know more about it.

Data plate: obviously built by Brockhouse.

All I could find was a reference to a 1959 spare parts list:
"Trailer, 1/2ton, jointers, 2 wheeled, mk.1. W.O.Code no.12747. Nov 1959."

Who can tell more? Thanks!

I've got that one somewhere & an earlier version WO Code No.8234. There was an intermediate edition WO Code No.11225, but I don't have that. What did you want to know?

Here are two more pictures of a Jointers trailer built by Tasker on Contract No 6/VEH/17396 - the numbering of which suggests this was a postwar contract. Note it was designated a 1/2 ton trailer, also an indication of postwar nomenclature.

I think it is clear the 1/2-ton Jointers trailer is a post-war manufactured trailer, using (parts of) the wartime 10-cwt trailer design, possibly even using some leftover wartime parts.
