Helicopter support trailer?

[harleyhouse]

Tell me about this trailer, I saw it for sale a month ago on ebay and now the new owner posted it on Expeditionportal.com It is listed as a helicopter support trailer, looks like a custom box on a 116A2 frame.

Chime in and post what you know.

What do all the dataplates say? That will tell some of the story...

Almost looks like a smaller version of the portable light trailers that were built on M116 frames. Here's one of them that Soni H. made into a offroad trailer.

That sure looks like the same model I asked for some build plate pictures too.
I am interested in this one. I have a 116 frame in the works at home and this would make a great little camper.

He has it nicely leveled out. I like that.

Those have been used for a few different applications. One I saw was a hydraulic hose maker.

It is like a smaller version of the M105 sewing trailer insert.

It looks like a Scorpion, and I cannot remember whose rig is that. I should since it has New Mexico plates on it.

That is Soni (m920). It is a Scorpion. He was the origional designer, sold another company the rights. Its a phenominal vehicle, well all of his vehicles that I have seen are!

That would be the scorpion. THE original "home-built" tube buggy that started the whole craze of tube-buggies.
