Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Boalloy is now marketing 7.15m tilt and Tatttliner intermodal swap bodies, along with 13.6m semi-trailer versions, via its German subsidiary Tautliner Deutschland.

The kits use a specially modified Schmitz baseframe and 20 a week are being supplied initially via British European Transport drawbar outfits. I Although body heights can I be varied, the swaps are made to the tallest German C30 (2.75m) limit as this is the major market.

Managing director Gerald Broadbent believes that following the union of East and West Germany 500,000 drop bodies will be needed over the next five years. Boalloy is looking for a percentage of the business after investing more than .e250,000 in jigs and tools at its Congleton works.
