Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• A new Dyson semi-trailer, with a basic length of 37ft, hag an extensible rear portion which can be drawn out to increase the overall length to 45ft. The extension is strutted back to the main frame and is fitted with a bolster at the rear so that it will support 2 tons. Thus, long flexible loads can be carried safely.

The rear lighting equipment is connected to the normal system by coiled nylon cables which will stretch to the full extent required and there is no need for additional jumper cables to be carried.

The vertical lift landing gear will fold back so that the front end of the semi-trailer can be lowered to the ground for loading. A winch mounted under the rear end of the trailer is used to raise it for recoupling and a trough, built into the platform, accommodates the winch cable.
