In case you're wondering, ARN stands for Army Registration Number. Ie: the number plate. It's a handy number to keep as it IDs your trailer and helps you track it's history.


34-675


Your mate also got stuck with:
232-486, and
34-648.

I can just see it picking up firewood around the block in the interim and then doing fuel transport duty for the big 101 CSR run in 2016:wasntme:. I might have to "find" some items to put in it to justify a trip to pick it up:p.

Mick said that they call them a One Tonner, but I don't think its a Sankey. The paperwork says 'One Tonne Cargo Box'. Dimensions are 2.2m long, 2.0m wide, with approx 450mm height sides. It also has a drop down rear tailgate and 4 tie points in the floor. Hitch is now modified to run level behind a 101. :)

As Sitec says, it's a 1 ton cargo.
Australian built. Mine was made by Crump & Cornish. I understand others were made by Haulmark. I have another that has the same chassis but different tub that is made by BAE Systems.

The Sankey is UK built.
If you want mine, I'd swap it for a Rapier re-supply trailer in similar condition (like that will ever happen). Other than that, I'll put you on my "persons to notify" list.

I think they're Rapier re-supply trailers I have hooked up behind the Vampires around the back of the shed:D Did you want the green or the brown one?

I'll take all those Rapier Re-Supply trailers and Vampires off your hands and send you a 1 ton Crump and Cornish trailer.
Yes, I know that is not necessary, but I'll have nowhere to park it when the Vampires arrive.

Hmmm. I'm working off-shore on a rig at the moment and am unable to make the arrangements. I agree to your price and will pay you an additional 10% for your trouble if you can help me out with delivery. (I'm not exactly how this scam works but bear with me as it's my first time ... honest ... cross my heart:spamsign: (I couldn't find "scam" so "spam" will have to do:lol2:)). So you send me the Crump and Cornish trailer (are you sure it's not a Crumpet and Cornish Pastry?? - Don't try to scam the scammer!) and when it arrives I'll send the Vampires and Rapier re-supply trailers:ehand:.

Hey, John, newsflash in the Canning thread and a PM sent.
Still a bit exy in my opinion but well worth investigating.

a very impressive set up you have there SITEC, a couple more ribs on the trailer and it would really look the part with the 101!

So, I finally got back to the trailer today. I refitted the ring hitch with the master cylinder above it as it was originally, but it was all too close to the tow vehicle, so I've now shifted the master cylinder back and turned it around so it works directly off the drawbar slider. Now the a frame protects it, and I can turn the 101 sharply without risk of wiping the master cylinder out! I've also fitted a 7 pin plug, and tested the lights.. All fine but dull (24 v globes), so will grab some 12 volt replacements tomorrow! Just got to find a decent jack stand and we'll be ready to use it! :)

As for the seller, yeah, the bigger trailer he had was sold to a guy with a very smart Unimog that was set up for a big trip. The trailer suited it perfectly as it was on 22.5" rims! What's the ARN all about then?:)

ARN is Army Registration Number. All vehicles, trailers bikes etc. are issued with an ARN which stays with that machine all its service life.
