Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Clayton Commercial's novel Cargotwin trailer has large pressure tanks below the deck of a curtainsider, showing how a clever design can improve fleet utilisation.

Using an integral cleaning system that connects to any tankwash station, the twin 23,000-litre tanks can hold different liquids including hazardous chemicals, while the standard deck with its central pillars takes loads of up to 26 ISO or 32 Europanets.

This tank trailer hauls Guinness at a constant o°C, from Dublin to a Runcorn bottling plant before looping back to Belfast with packaging, then returning to Dublin with raw materials.

The dual-tank system which fbrms the trailer's main beams is made using keyhole plasma welding, and all seams are radiographed. Stainless steel is also used in the raves and cladding panels.

The design offers real potential to reduce fleet size, thus trimming fuel usage and air pollution at a stroke.

Williams Tanker Services is the Burg group's UK agent and as such is the supplier of the Dutch-built Petrowing fuel tank trailer. The six-compartment elliptical tank is made from AI Mg 4.3IVIn aluminium and holds 43=0 litres.

It's built for bottom loading with its vapour recovery equipment located beneath the tank—there are no manlids up top and therefore no need fbr walkways.

Williams specified the latest SAF Intradisc running gear and Jost legs, bringing the unladen weight to a respectable 3.84 tonnes when empty.
