Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A LINK-UP between M G Trailers (Lye) Ltd of Hayes Lane, Lye. Stourbridge, and George Neville Truck Equipment, Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, has resulted in a new series of tipping trailers called the Samson GP40 heavyweight range.

Although the trailers are designed to operate at the present 32.5 tonnes (32 tons) gvw combination with maxi mum payload, a simple conversion allows them to be run up to 40.6 tonnes (40 tons) gvw combination without the need to be returned for uprating.

M4 G was responsible for the low-profile chassis design which has additional features to enable it to be run in eitherfour or five-axle combinations.

Samson bodies in either steel, 5mm (n-in) alloy or 6mm (tin) alloy are fitted and although a large single ram tipping gear is standard, a twin ram may be specified.

Six basic body sizes may be ordered, but any size will be built to specific customer requirements. The standard trailer has a Rubery Owen 10.2 tonnes (10 tons) axle and a 19.3 tonnes (19 tons) suspension but a 20.3 tonnes (21.3 tons) widespread is optional.
