Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A refined sliding skeletal trailer and uprated curtainsider form the focal point of Dennison Trailers' stand at the show.

Its sliding bogie skeletal will be shown with the modifications previewed at last year's show, including a deeper rear chassis beam to accommodate an all-bolted mud wing and a Fighter, 'flick-over' rear bolster. The sliding bogie can now legally accommodate 20,30 and 40 ft, 13.8m and 451t containers. This added capacity has been achieved by piecing additional twist locks 150mm forward of the front bolster. Dennison's curtainsider has also been uprated since its launch. A reinforced bulkhead now accommodates easily accessible storage compartments for load restraints, and pocketed curtainsratchet-tensioned front and rear— are secured with stainless steel locking buckles. At the rear of the trailer the doorframe is now stronger, while a smoother bevelled roller track makes light work of its operation. The unit on show is 13.7m long and rides on Mentor LM9000 drum brake axles and NB9000 suspension incorporating self tracking rear axles.

Also on show will be the firm's ISO tank carrier range. This features an all-steel construction with unladen weight down to 3.36 tonnes, and a choice of stepframe and slope-frame skeletals allowing an operational weight of 44 tonnes to be achieved. Drum or disc brakes and crankhandled or screw-type twist-locks add further options. The trailer is also available to ADP requirements.

Dennison will also be showing a smooth sided tipper. This 70yd3 planksided unit has an overall length of 10.87m and is plated at 44 tonnes.
