Manufacturer description

The Coventry Climax Pump Trailers, used ostensibly during WWII, were portable and were towed behind any suitable car or lorry fitted with a hitch. In this way, they were able to get to confined spaces that larger fire appliances could not reach. Many vehicles were especially fitted with a tow hook, so they could be called upon in an emergency to tow the pumps. The pump trailers proved a great asset to fire brigades, especially during the Blitz on many of Britain's cities. Even after the war, the pump trailers found their way onto farms and market gardens, where they were used for irrigation purposes.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Grey NFS Coventry Climax Pump Trailer – 1:76 scale

The model, number 76CCP001, represents a Coventry Climax pump trailer as it appeared in the British Railways Early Crest period. It is a die‑cast collector’s item produced by Oxford Diecast in a grey finish, scaled to 1:76 of the original vehicle.

Coventry Climax pump trailers were portable units used during the Second World War, designed to be towed behind cars or lorries fitted with a hitch. Their small size allowed them to reach confined locations inaccessible to larger fire appliances, making them valuable to fire brigades during the Blitz. After the war many were repurposed for agricultural irrigation on farms and market gardens.
