Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• British Telecom has run into problems with trials of an air-load-levelling kit, designed to improve the stability of its light CVs fitted with work platforms (see CM 1-7 March). Five of its six trial kits were direct drive models, all of which have failed, according to BT transport engineer Steve Kirby. Load leveller suppliers CME Springs of Coventry have now fitted one vehicle with a heavy-duty belt-driven twin compressor, which GME Springs managing director Robert Gerrard says will now be fitted as standard on the kit.

Gerrard stresses that the air-load-leveller has been used without problems on social services ambulances in Leicester and Solihull, to smooth the ride for handicapped passengers, and is now undergoing trials for Barnet Social services.
