DAF LF Tipper Trucks For Sale

DAF LF tippers are very common and very popular in the construction industry. But the standard tipper body is not the only configuration available on this platform, meaning you can select more specialised alternatives if this suits your operation.

DAF LF tippers are built for everything from refuse collection to land management. And since the trucks are endowed with a smaller turning circle than any equivalent model in the same class, they can be manoeuvred without giving the driver any trouble. This means that they are just at home on busy streets as on building sites, making a used DAF LF tipper all the easier to recommend as long as it is in an acceptable state of repair.

Standard DAF LF tippers can come with a basic dropside body for general-purpose deployments. You can also find high-sided tippers, some of which feature integrated tail lifts to grant access to the load bed. Tippers in the range may also come equipped with cranes capped with clamshell buckets for when loading duties fall to the truck and its operator.

Used DAF CF85.360 Tipper

In addition, there are refuse trucks with tipper bodies built on the LF platform for those that require a more specific vehicle type. This diversity speaks to the adaptability of the LF tipper's underpinnings, while also requiring used buyers to be careful when making their selection. There are so many second-hand options that you will want to get as much information as possible about each potential purchase so as to avoid any miscalculations.

Tipper trucks in the DAF LF range benefit from increased ground clearance, since they were built with the knowledge that tarmac is not the only surface these vehicles need to tackle. Bigger, sturdier bumpers, added chassis protection and other off-road features such as these can be encountered on used models. And yet when you step into the cab you still get an excellent amount of adjustability on the seats and steering column, as well as sensibly grouped buttons, dials and control panels, particularly on newer examples of this range. Driver assists can be added to allow the truck to be driven as efficiently as possible while keeping its occupants safe and ensuring other road users are not at risk.

DAF uses the latest Euro 6 engines from PACCAR to power its latest LF tipper trucks, although there are older units with comparable power plants that still have a lot to offer in spite of their age. Check the engine, gearbox, suspension and tyres of a used LF tipper before you buy it, as these are the key components that need to be working. The hydraulic tipping ram should also be inspected, while the tipping body itself may have been subjected to the kind of rough use you would expect this category of truck to endure. Make sure you get the full picture about the state of a second-hand LF tipper before you buy, and if possible inspect it in person, allowing you to purchase it with confidence and start using it as soon as possible.
