I would guess that as it is a low ride unit and trailer it has been removed to stop it grouding out when boarding ferries. You see a few of Betz low ride units like that.

rob thats how merc make em. the reason it could be sitting low on the rear is that the air has been dropped to level the cab out cardiff services has a slope and you can end up rolling outta bed.

Because the other one isn’t low ride, check the wheel and tyre size. Another give away is the size of the fule tank, on the one with no lower step and bumper it is a smaller tank that has more ground clearance, again a coomon feature of the low ride trucks that Betz operates.
