Trailer identification help

[nchittendon]

Anyone know what this is/used to be?

The owner says that it had a box on it, and any ID plates went away with the box. Been searching the web for a good portion of the day and found plenty of things that were "close."

Anyone?

Might be an AM32 mainly used by USN and USMC

The AM32 looks smaller. This one has a bunch of us stumped.

The closest I can find is an old searchlight generator trailer. Do you know if the tires a highway rated, or slow speed only?

The AM32 trailer uses M37 rims I believe, 5-bolt lugs. That trailer the OP posted looks to be 6-bolt lugs, bigger trailer.

It looks like a lot of things that came out of the bombing ranges out west, that were used during the Cold War. There are countless modifications and variants of all sorts of weird equipment coming out of those bases, used from the late 40s to the 80s, when we tested all sorts of gear and the specialized equipment that went along with it. I searched Google with multiple combinations of terms, nothing like this trailer came up. I'm afraid, unless you or the seller can provide a data plate or some other official way to ID this, it may just be chalked up to one of those custom pieces of equipment the Air Force bought.

If you bought it, how did you plan on titling it in your name? As a homemade trailer?

These guys appear to have one. Maybe I'll just call them. However, it says item added in 2008, so it might be a long shot.

Check out the wheels on the Colemans one vs. your pic. Different trailer, I've seen a couple of those at Coleman's yard, they are rather small and designed for low-speed.

Oh yeah, I see that now.

Google V-121/MPN-11C


It appears to be another RADAR support trailer. This one for the AN/MPN-11, AN/MPN-13, CPN-4 systems.
