The 3/4 Ton Tow Rig Recovery Trailer

The 3/4 Ton Recovery Trailer was a tow rig that could be utilised on any land rover with a pintle hook to recover disabled or unservicable Land Rovers. Not may of these traielrs were made, and only a few in private hands, and one at the Army Museum Bandiana are known. This trailer had a census code of 6299 which means Trailer, Tow rig, ¾ ton, Recovery.

Interestingly the user handbook for the recovery trailer is incorporated into the same manual as the user handbook for the series 2a recovery land rover.

The blow information came from John Brown:

Thanks for the info on the trailers. I Know one was scrapped from Auto spares galore in Ferntree gully Victoria 5 years ago. The next is on a farm north of Melbourne and of course my trailer. The next one is in Bandiana , that is 4 out of 15 so far. I have just found the info on my trailer. Made in the trailer factory Maribyrnong Victoria 8/1971 trailer no.11 plus it also has this no. On it 330-66-036-0397. Kind Regards JB
