Has anyone heard of a "hot line trailer"

[GoinNutts]

The description is "Y-0905, Pitman Manufacturing Company Division, Hot Line Trailer"
Saw it on GL and was wondering what it was. Tried goggling it and did not get to far so any help would be appreciated.

With out looking at the insides of the trailer, and taking a shot in the dark here, I would say its a hot foods mkt. Just a guess.

Not a tactical trailer...has a civy electrical connection......some type of support trailer...maybe aircraft related.

Pitman makes bucket trucks for power lines.

A hot line trailer is made to store "hot" sticks in. They are used by lineman to handle "hot" lines or energized power lines. We have one where I work and rarely used anymore. They were more common used when lineman climbed poles and did hot work from the pole. Nowadays, with insulated aerial devices, they are seldom used...ous hasnt moved in years. Every truck we have has several "hot" sticks on the trucks, but they are used to remove cut-outs, [fuses] or open disconnects etc.. also in the old days, the hot sticks were wooden so the trailers were usually heated..to keep then dry. Now everything is fiberglass, so not as big as issue..

Pitman made bucket trucks but were more noted for digger derricks. Diggers were pretty tough, the few pitman buckets we had sucked. Can you guess, I work for an electric Company and have worked on all this equipment for almost 25 years. Ihavent seen the trailer in GL but sounds like what I described.
I was up in Pa awhile back and Versalift east, a upfitter was installing diggers on IH chassis for the Canada. They were were solid green, and 4x4. Looked cool

I search the NSN and got a part number of C405-0016, it had a date of 11-19-1995 with no more info. Google the part# and this is what can up. Not 100% correct but on the same line.

I see GL has used this NSN on more than one type of trailers it has sold in the pass.

Looks like it wold make a great Concession Trailer as long as all the workers were MIDGETS and could fit under that Low-Rise Roof.
