Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Borders Regional Council has added a pair of Leyland Daf 75270 6x4s to its fleet fitted with the first of a new family of threeway tipper bodies from Trent Industries.

Built on a 4.55m wheelbase chassis with 203kV■1 (272hp)/ZF eight-speed driveline and steel suspension, the 26-tonners will be used in a multi-functional role for carrying hot asphalt or other road repair duties. Unladen weights of 10.9 tonnes give maximum payloads of 15.9 tonnes.

The insulated split drop-sided bodywork has air-operated rear tailgates and tip via single UTG multi-stage rams.

Integral outriggers, subframe and inset tilt bearing cups give the 5.33m x 2.28m x 1.07m (17.5 x 7.5 x 3.5ft) body a shallow appearance and contribute to its 1.5m (59in) loadbed height.

The floor is of heavy-duty 6.0nint Steelite while the side's angled sills leave a 2.0mm gap to give clean load discharges.
