Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Don-Bur (Bodies & Trailers) has a three-strong display on its stand, consisting of two multi-deck trailers and one single-decker.

The Focus 13.67m stepframe box van has a single 9m long, 10-tonnecapacity lifting deck and is fitted with a 1.5-tonne capacity two-tier tail lift. With a 4.88m overall height, this trailer is plated for 38 tonnes GTW and features BPW high lift tri-axle air suspension and 245/70R 19.5 twin wheels and tyres. In addition to its main lifting deck, there are also two fixed deck in the forward gooseneck section, with four rows of roller bed tracking fated to the trailer's lower deck to facilitate pallet loading.

The Palletmaster Evolution ratchet deck curtainsider features a simple system which allows flexible deck layouts to be achieved without the need for hydraulic lifting. The equal size ratchet deck sections, available in up to 4.5m lengths, are supported by side pillars at either end. They are raised/lowered by using a fork-lift truck to individually ratchet each deck section up or down, in 300mm increments.

Don-Bur's Palletmaster pillariess curtainsider, meanwhile, is a discbraked, 13.7m trailer running on BPW Airiite tri-axle air suspension and 385/65 R22.5 wheels and tires. The allsteel chassis and underframe uses high-tensile material for optimum combination of strength, weight and cost. Trailer weight is a competitive 6,750kg. A special feature is flush rear doors with integral locking bars which gives maximum internal length and a smooth, easy-clean rear end.
