Read MoreThe DAF LF series of curtainsiders can be counted on to complete distribution work with minimal effort, making use of the latest Euro 6 engines so that urban delivery routes can be completed efficiently and the stop-start nature of driving on congested roads does not hit fuel economy too hard.
Used DAF LF curtainsiders ranging from 7.5 tonnes to 18 tonnes in weight can be picked up inexpensively. And since these trucks are built on a platform that is made to stand the test of time, second-hand models can represent a wiser investment than new equivalents, if you research thoroughly and consider all the variables involved.
The ideal curtainsider design will be one which not only copes with heavy loads but also provides easy access to goods. And so when picking a used DAF LF curtainsider, it may be worth selecting one of the many models that comes with a tail lift at the rear. This is not featured on every used unit, nor is it necessarily a feature that all buyers are seeking, but it could be a high priority for some, and features such as this will usually be mentioned prominently in the seller's description of a vehicle.
Post-2013 Euro 6 DAFs for Sale
The current LF curtainsider range is based on a new chassis design that DAF has come up with to combine lightness with strength. This means the kerb weight is kept to a minimum, but these trucks can still take on a full load without succumbing to the pressure. As such, they are a good candidate for any second hand-purchase, since the chassis should still be in good shape even after a lot of use. The layout of the frame is also established in a way that allows other components to be put in practical positions, rather than aligned in a way that makes life harder for the driver or maintenance crew. Used models may come with things such as tool boxes, stabilising legs and a range of spares. Alloy or steel fuel tanks are also on offer, while fuel efficiency is enhanced with subsequent generations of the LF curtainsider thanks to new Euro 5 and 6 engines.
The needs of the driver are taken seriously in other areas, especially within the cab, where things such as an adjustable steering column, clearly laid-out dash and soft, supple seating are all available on many DAF LF units. Because these distribution-focused trucks are going to require the driver to get out at regular intervals as they complete the rounds they are set, accessibility is another concern. And with doors that open up to 90 degrees, this is not a tough task. Furthermore, the cab can heat up or cool down more quickly than other trucks because the system that manages ventilation is built in the knowledge that the interior temperature will be regularly impacted by regular opening and closing of the driver's door. So driver comfort within a DAF LF curtainsider is assured, whether you choose newer models or opt for a second-hand unit that has seen some service.
