Obviously he needed to show the plates, could have been paint or something with a low flash point maybe, chemicals, pharmaceuticals.
like this,
or even smaller, seen a few kicking around immingham which are based on 3 axle tractor unit’s.
They’ll be Simpsons from Saxilby. They do work for water treatment plants, some of which are restricted access so the prime mover drops the drag, goes in and tips, comes back out and empties the drag into the prime mover and repeats. I think they have 4 or 5 of these things.

Hi Bob,
This sounds like the voluntary “white” board scheme for tankers carrying hazardous goods.
Now just before anybody gets all excited… 
There’s a world of difference between the words “Hazardous” and “Dangerous.” 
Anybody with just the correct driving licence for the vehicle can drive goods that are only “Hazardous.”
A tanker carrying Hazardous cargo can use the “white” board scheme, but it isn’t compulsory.
The 1Z is the relevant Emergency Action Code for the Fire Brigade, which tells them what to do in case of fire or spillage involving the substance being carried.
Something like this:
If the goods being carried meet the definition of “Dangerous goods,” and the vehicle is a tanker, then the driver will need an ADR licence valid for the UN Class of dangerous goods being carried.
The vehicle would then need a proper orange plate marking on the front and the large (700mm X 400mm) orange and white panels incorporating the UN Class placard on two sides and the rear.
Something like this:
From the info you gave, it sounds like you saw a “white” board. 
Thank’s for reply’s lads it was on the m180 when I seen it, but no sign of trailer coupling.Cheer’s bob
