Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

HINGED side-door van bodies built on 12m (40ft) semi-trailer chassis are now being supplied to Kronospan Ltd, of North Wales, by Lawrence David Ltd, Peterborough.

Using the Lawrence David Max-Cess double-hinged side doors with a removable tarpaulin roof and conventional hinged rear doors, the trailers will carry raw materials into Kronospan's chipboard factory and bring out finished products on pallets. Transportation is by a local haulage contractors, Grocott Group Ltd, of Whitchurch, Shropshire.

Six Max-Cess doors are fitted along each side of the trailer and can be opened from either the left-or right-hand edge.

Each door is panelled on the inside only with plywood to provide a smooth interior surface. This prevents the contents from sticking when the load is tipped on incoming deliveries using an hydraulically-elevating ram.

The ram tips the whole trailer bodily to discharge the load.

Each of the Max-Cess doors is edged with rubber to prevent seepage.

For outward journeys, five 4-ton pallets, loaded with finished chipboard, fill the trailers and these are installed by opening up the Max-Cess doors two-at-a-time along the side.

If required, the doors can be removed entirely to accommodate extra-long loads.
