Tasker Pole Trailer
 

Pole Trailer by Taskers of Andover For Sale.

Believed circa 1950/1960, it has been suggested that it is an ex GPO telegraph pole carrier?.

On pneumatics.

Unusual in that it has ackerman steering.

Approx 13 foot long in current state. Built lightly. Handy size, would suit steam tractor well, or a 1950's/60's classic timber tractor.

It has been converted to flat bed and remains so, but it is a very simple job to revert to a pole trailer.

Ring Mike Jones (my father) on 01824 702674 in the first instance. Eves best.

Bargain at £550

The trailer is located in North Wales.

Appologies to those of you who had asked for some pictures, its been a long wait!

Here they are

Needs the body taking off and a couple of bolsters to revet to original. Or use as is as a flat.

The current wheelbase is approx 12foot 6, will shorten or lengthen once the body is off.

Tyres are ok(ish)
