Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Mixed loads of glass plate are being transported more safely and efficiently by Hounslow rental company Fraikin since the modification of its rigid and curtainsided bodies by McDonald Kane of Nottingham.

Existing curtainsiders, under contract to Solaglas Laminated. had a central A-frame carrier but suffered from height restrictions and generally failed to meet Frailcin's requirements.

Now, glass-carrying sledges and A-frames are secured to the floor of the vehicles using pneumatic locking bolts. Be cause the lock positions divide the load-bed into three equal areas, the pre-loaded frames can be arranged across or along the body. McDonald Kane has fitted a concertinaframed roof canopy that runs back and forth on side rails allowing the glass packs to be craned off.
