Picked this up at a estate sale , appears to be off Dover AFB ,data plates are missing . It was in a farm field and they were going to scrap it , so the price was right . If anyone could identify it or maybe a TM that would be great . Other than the deck wood there is very little rust on the rails , even the brakes work . It is HEAVY . BTW there are 3 more available LOL !!! bob kIMG_20200908_111029247.jpgIMG_20200908_111011333.jpgIMG_20200908_111036610.jpgIMG_20200908_111052098.jpg

They may be Zoomi equipment, but we had them all over Germany, in Army shops. VERY heavy. Got to be careful, they can tip over easy. We used them to put generators on, and tow around the Motor Pool to jump off trucks and other equipment, when it was very cold on our Hawk Missile site. Had one with a compressor, and one with a "Service" setup. Oil, coolant, service supply's and so forth. Very handy. But you got to keep an eye on it. Ehen the front wheels are turned all the way to the side, it can tip over.
