Unusual Trailers on GSA this week

[NDT]

Well these are all sold now. The first is some kind of electronics van, what makes it unusual is how low to the ground it is. The military has always had high profile trailers to clear off road obstacles, not sure what they were thinking on this. Made me think of a horse trailer. It has FMTV wheels.


The second trailer is a cold war relic, and a fixture at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston since the Apollo days. I remember seeing it as a kid. It is a USAF liquid oxygen trailer, made in 1967. Would have been used to fuel missiles before NASA's second use for liquid nitrogen transport from the generator plant to some huge space environment chamber they have. Painted on the side is "Liquid Nitrogen - Temperature Minus 320 F" Always thought "brr that's cold". Notice the blackout lights and 11.00-20 NDCC tires (hard to see).

I saw this previously on the electronics trailer as it is low profile so it is air transportable:

Louisiana surplus has one but they want a fortune. What did it sell for at GSA?

Would make an awesome camper!

I tried to buy one of those tanker trailers from Redstone (lots of rocket and missile testing up there) but someone wanted it more than I did. I was going to cut it up and make a big culvert out of it. They also had some vans similar to that one but they were generator trailers and had two big CAT powered gennys in them. They had to be demilled (mutilated) to be removed from the site.
