context_page_description: Ben Hur trailer was the nickname of the World War II U.S. Army Trailer, 1-ton payload, 2-wheel, cargo, and the Trailer, 1-ton payload, 2-wheel, water tank, 250 gallon, or G-518 and G-527 — their respective U.S. Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalog designations. Specialized variants were also manufactured.
  The one-ton trailers were designed to be towed by vehicles rated ​³⁄₄-ton and upwards, like the Dodge WC series trucks, as well as ​1 ¹⁄₂-ton 4x4 trucks, and ​2 ¹⁄₂-ton 6x6 trucks, such as the Chevrolet G506 and the much used GMC CCKW trucks.
context_section_description: The Ben Hur trailer was nicknamed after its major manufacturer, the Ben–Hur Mfg. Co., although there were many other companies that produced it between 1941 and 1945. Its primary purpose was to transport general cargo; the Signal Corps modified it to carry several different generators.
caption: The "Ben Hur" 1-ton, 2-wheel cargo-trailer was frequently mated to the Dodge WC series trucks — for jeeps, there was a lighter trailer.
