Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Ingimex subsidiary Kurtrans Developments of Telford has added step-framed, doubledecked and insulated refrigerated models to its range of curtain-sided bodywork.

The double-deck version is built on an Overlander chassis with low-height RO-R monoleaf suspension and uses a Ratcliffe tail-lift to supply both deck levels.

It is designed to carry up to 3,000kg on the upper deck, and has been produced for a customer carrying nonstackable refuse containers.

Kurtrans' first reefer model is built on a Crane Fruehauf air-suspended tri-axle semitrailer and uses a dieselpowered Carrier Thunderbird NDF 405 unit built onto the bulkhead, but othe specified.

The reefer model uses GRP/ ply/foam panelling of 100mm thickness for the roof and bulkhead, and of 65mm for the rear doors. The 75mm GRP/ aluminium sandwich panel floor is covered with a 21mm exterior grade hardwood and 3.25mm aluminium chequer plate.

It features Structure-Flex double-skinned polyesterweave insulated curtains with heavy-duty straps welded to the outer layer at 600mm intervals.

Kurtrans is also developing a curtain-sider with an unsupported cantilever roof.
