US Trailer 1 Ton Snow, M19 by Saginaw Products Corporation

US M19 Trailer 1 Ton Snow, Saginaw Products Corporationr

Saginaw Products made the M19 ski / wheel trailers. Two production batches known, one in 1944 and one in 1950.

The M19 trailer had a net weight of 640 lbs, and a payload of 2000 lbs. It had a wooden body on a steel hollow-section frame, with hood, hoops, side and end panels all easily detachable, and it was normally equipped with a heater and two stretchers, plus a rear pintle hitch so that trailers could be doubled up. The two-bolt mounting pintle hitch was unique to the M7 and M19, and will not accommodate even an ordinary MB / GPW jeep trailer lunette.

They had three main functions :

1) rescue and recovery, for which they were equipped with two stretchers and a personnel heater (these are included in this trailer)

2) aircraft starting, for which they were outfitted with much larger aircraft engine heaters and slave power equipment.

3) cargo, for which they could be operated with or without canvas hood, top bows, side and end frames.

This trailer is made in on 8 December 1950.

Serial numbers for the 1950 units seem to start at 1000 and were dated around November of that year, suggesting they were made to supplement a batch of 1944 originals that were going to Norway, and seem to top out around 1150.

This trailer is in very good and complete condition.

Pick up by appointment.
