For those who win several trailers at auction at a time....

...and don't know how to get them all home, looks like someone back in history has figured out how to, at least in this case, bring home 9 M105 trailers at a time without breaking a sweat!

I guarantee he would break a sweat now a days getting them on there with no help! Looks like a purpose built trailer, I wonder if it had a NSN?

I don't think it did, looks like it was a commercial trailer purpose built for moving the M105 trailer in bulk. See the "pads" on the second level, where the tires are sitting? Those look like they were only put there because of the unique placement of a bunch of M105 trailers in "tilted" position, so this trailer was made specifically for moving 9 M105 trailers at a time, and not much of anything else. Probably bought by the company that made the M105 trailers, so they could load a bunch of completed ones up, and haul directly to the base that they were going to.

Either that or he was one of the first ones who contracted the green iron bug.

Zoom in in the picture and read the text. It is an ad for the trailer manufacturer.

AHA! Purpose built. Man I'm good. But I think Maddawg is right about no NSN. Never even thought about enlarging the pic.?

Troyler was a trailer manufacturer from the 50's to the mid 80's. they primarily made trailers for the government and auto transportation.

They made a lot of M105 trailers.

There is a discussion about them on the ATHS website.
