A register and database of WW2 Jeep 1/4 ton Trailers in Australia.

While many registers and databases of the World War Two jeep exist world wide, very few are maintained for the humble jeep trailer.

 

Produced in many designs in many places to carry goods behind mainly a jeep, but often many other World War Two vehicles, the trailers role and preservation in history, particuarly in Australia as a member of the jeep and MV fraternity is often a forgotten one. This is no longer is the case. During World War Two, many variants of military trailer with 1/4 ton payload were produced. Australia also produced its own model of jeep trailer under many different models from many different manufacturers nation wide.

Based on this information in conjunction with other MV restorers and collectors around Australia, a register/database of ALL surviving Australian and American pattern trailers in Australia has been set up. The aim of this register/database is to collect as much information on these trailers IN AUSTRALIA for use by other MV collectors and historians as possible. In this register specific details of the trailer as well as optional contact details of the owner make it a simple and inobtrusive register of valuable information.

      

This register is entirely voluntary and is open to all members of the public. The amount of information submitted into it is at the discretion of you the provider. From basic model and serial number right up to full details and history of the trailer and owner, as much or as little information can be provided. The register has been designed to allow you to share the information of your trailer with out the need of feeling you will be harassed by others further down the track.

The register has been set up to be completed in an online 'Google Documents' survey. You do not need to join google documents as a member to complete this survey, however if you are a member it is still possible to participate and provide information.

To add the information about your trailer, please click on the link below titled 'AUSTRALIAN Jeep Trailer Register SURVEY' and complete the survey. While information on all 1/4 ton model trailers world wide is valuable, this register is intended specifically for collectors in AUSTRALIA or with AUSTRALIAN pattern trailers to provide their trailers details.

THERE IS ONE RULE THOUGH: ONLY CONTRIBUTE INFORMATION FOR TRAILERS YOU OWN OR WHEN YOU HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OWNER TO SUPPLY THEIR TRAILER and PERSONAL INFORMATION. DO NOT PUT SOMEONE ELSES PERSONAL INFO IF THEY DO NOT WANT IT PUT IN THE REGISTER. It would be horrible to have this spoilt by annoying people who do not want to participate.

 

 If you own more than one trailer, you will need to complete a new survey for each trailer.
