Or for the PT1-1.2 for that matter.

The important info I need for today is wheel bearing kit.

Or for the PT1-1.2 for that matter.
I don't have the RPS but the Operators Manual lists the following:
104.Axles
Manufacturer: Engineered Transport Equipment
Type:Tubular steel beam
105.Main Brakes
Manufacturer: Cebco
Type:Caliper Disc Brake with C500 Hydraulic Override Coupling
106.Park Brakes
Manufacturer: Cebco
Type:Internal expanding, single shoe drum type brakes on rear wheels only"
Perhaps you could attempt to contact one of the component manufacturers or even Haulmark in Queensland (Haulmark were very helpful when I bought my PT1-1.2 back in 2011 they may even have the parts in their supply chain, they had canopies if I wanted one )

When I got mine I gave it a once-over. I just took the old seals into a local bearing shop and they had equivalent. I'm reasonably sure that this would also apply to the bearings (mine were fine and I just repacked them).
Do you suspect a problem with yours ?

The person who is transporting it said the rear wheels got a little warm when they collected it.
I'm just trying to cover all bases before they drag it over from Adelaide. I suspect they will repack the bearings before they start out but I want to prepare them if they find the bearings are stuffed.
So, with the trailer over 400km from me, I am trying to buy a couple of wheel bearing kits from the local bearing supplier with no idea what bearings and seals I need.
It's a complicated story that can only be solved with bearing and seal part numbers given to the local bearing shop.

HUA :)
for a trip like that I would also be checking them first

I believe I said that is what they will be doing.
Now, I also believe I said I would like to have wheel bearing kits available to them if they find the bearings are stuffed or at least, that was the intention in my posts.
I also believe I have indicated I need information to source a wheel bearing kit from the local suppliers, i.e. part numbers.
If I have been unclear, I apologise.

Mick, they are what is known in the Trailer Industry as "Parallel" Bearings, rated at 1600Kg. The inner and outer bearings are the same items, being 68110/49 (2x per Hub, 4x per Axle, 8x per PT2-2). If you're in an out of the way location and not near a specialist bearing supplier, no probs, as these bearings are the inner bearing in Ford or "Slimline" sets and are available from Supercheap, Repco, etc and even many service stations. The grease seal is also the same one used in the Slimline set.

Ta. I'll get some Friday.
Things are coming together.

I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that I've just spent the morning at Haulmark Trailers and Rocklea Canvas. Some fascinating stuff there. I enjoyed it, so that's good. ;D
The bad news is that Haulmark cannot release either RPS for the 750Kg or 1250Kg trailers, or even an "In-house" parts list. They do still have some limited parts available, but you have ring them and ask for the"widget-thingy on the front left side" or similar, as you won't be able to quote a part number. Some parts are no longer in stock (if they are different to the parts in the G-Wagen trailer, and many are), and while they do have the drawings and can make the older parts, there will be a minimum order of the size that the Army used to make, and unless that quantity is required (unlikely) by the Army, many special parts will no longer be available.
Rocklea Canvas are also very good to deal with, but even their hands are tied with supplying the "New Auscam" canvas pattern.

Not sure this is any good

What is the reason for not releasing a parts book? These trailers are now on the civi market, and are hardly classified piece of military equipment.
