The Australian 1/2 Ton Workshop Platform Trailer
The 1/2 Ton Workshop trailer is often mis identified as the No.5 Workshop Trailer. The Workshop trailer does utilise the No.5 Trailer chassis, however the platform that sits upon it is the same one that was developed by the Army Design Establishment for use on the workshop variant of the 2/4 ton Land Rover.
