Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Hoynor's latest batch of 12.2m sloping-front doubledeckers for Group 4 Securitas are being equipped with infrared control for both tail-lift and elevating-floor systems.

Bodied by Power Bodies, the tandem-axled GRP box vans are pulled by Volvo FL10 units and will carry up to 65 roll cage pallets (nine over the neck and 28 on each deck) on Group 4's Nightspeed service. By adopting remote switching, operational problems of tangled or damaged wanderleads are avoided. Electronic-hydraulic systems are duplicated and have vehicle or mains charging circuits for the trailer's twin 12v batteries.

Being a direct descendant of Hoynor's car transporter, it uses the same lifting and positive locking equipment with an externally fitted, low, beam Ross and Bonnyman 1,750kg lift, Sternfast axles and Hoynor's own air suspension system are fitted.

Having already established a Paris office, Hoynor is looking to build transporters in France within the next two years.
