Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Carmichael Bulk's latest non-tipping powder tanker for Rugby Cement has been built to a 3.66m low-height profile.

Its chassisless 28.33 two-pot aluminium tank is a top loader and has a new type of aeration system, based on an American design.

Aluminium hanger brackets for the BPW axles and full air suspension are welded directly onto the tank.

With its three-cylinder Sanne diesel-engined power pack and CiHH compressor the unit will carry 26,300kg payload when coupled to the company's Foden and Volvo 4x 2 tractor units. The trailer spec includes aluminium wheels all round, side guards and underrun.

Having installed a new IDO CAD system, Carmichael expects its next designs to be lighter still and with increased capacity.
