This 2017 DAF garbage truck — also commonly referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — is a purpose-built municipal waste collection machine equipped with a VDL Translift FLEX DUO FS side-loading body. DAF is a well-established Dutch commercial vehicle manufacturer known for producing heavy-duty trucks used across transport, logistics, and specialist municipal applications throughout Europe. The side-loader configuration allows automated kerbside bin collection without requiring operatives to manually handle bins at each stop, making it a practical choice for residential waste rounds.
The body is a VDL Translift FLEX DUO FS, fitted with a double grabber system and Stop and Go functionality, allowing the vehicle to collect bins while moving slowly along a street without fully stopping at each property. This unit was originally operated as an ex-municipal vehicle and has had two owners from new, which is consistent with its documented mileage of just 73,584 kilometres — a notably low figure for a 2017 machine of this type.
The chassis runs a three-axle configuration. The front axle carries a maximum load of 9,000 kg and is fitted with 385/65 22.5 tyres, with steering capability. The first rear axle is the driven axle, rated to 11,500 kg with a single-reduction setup and 315/80 22.5 twin tyres; tyre profiles on this axle are recorded at 60% across all positions. The second rear axle is a tag/steering axle rated to 7,500 kg, also shod in 385/65 22.5 tyres, with front and rear profiles at 50%. The engine displaces 10,837 cc across six cylinders and the vehicle meets the Euro 6 emissions standard. Transmission is automatic, and drive is to two wheels. Overall dimensions are approximately 9.0 m in length, 3.0 m in width, and 3.6 m in height. Kerb weight is recorded at 16,285 kg, with a payload of 11,715 kg and a loading capacity stated at 12,000 kg.
The rear suspension is air-sprung, contributing to ride stability during kerbside collection work. The day cab seats two and is equipped with a central armrest, roof hatch, cruise control, electric windows, and warning lights. General, technical, and visual condition are all rated as good by the seller.
