Transporter
Fabricated in Sweden by a company called Järn-orch Stålprodukter (Iron and Steel Products) and marketed under the name ‘Transporter’. Such trailers were made from the early 1950s until 1969 and proved to be very popular. They were considered to be an accessory rather than a trailer and, as such, they were exempt from road tax. The trailer could be folded up and hung on the back of the car, its single, removable 8 inch wheel being placed inside the vehicle. It allows the owner to carry up to 300 kg. For heavy duty applications, a larger wheel was an optional extra. This trailer has no conventional spring suspension, only the tire. We have photographic evidence of 7 Transporter trailers, but no way of knowing if any are duplicates as some of the photos are older.
