Based on the Cranes (Dereham) Ltd, 40ton design, the need for mass production, 6700 were built, meant that the M9 45ton recovery trailer design was passed to Rodgers Bros, in the USA and although other US manufacturers also built the M9, such as, Fruehauf, Winter-Weiss, Pointer-Wilamette and Checker Cab, it is as "Rodgers Trailers" that these superb trailers are best known. Serving on all British fronts from 1941 onwards, they were built with the Diamond T980 as the tractor of choice but they could also be towed by the Scammel Pioneer and the AEC Matador. In NW Europe the Americans used the M20 Diamond T80/981 and M9 Trailer combination as the M19 Tank Transporter. Note that 40 UK (Long Tons) is the equivalent of 45 US (Short Tons). The M9 is 45 (US) Tons and 40 (UK) Tons
