This 2017 DAF CF290 is a used garbage truck — also known as a refuse collection vehicle — built for the collection and compaction of municipal solid waste. DAF is a well-established Dutch commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks for logistics, construction, and municipal service applications across Europe and beyond. This example was previously operated as a municipal vehicle and has had two owners from new.
The truck is fitted with a VDL Translift FLEX DUO FS side-loader body, a dual-stream automated collection system designed to handle separate waste streams in a single pass. It is equipped with a double grabber mechanism and a Stop and Go function, allowing the system to operate while the vehicle moves slowly along a collection route without requiring the driver to halt completely between lifts. VDL Translift is a recognised manufacturer of refuse collection bodywork, and the FLEX DUO FS configuration is intended for source-separated waste collection.
Power comes from a six-cylinder engine displacing 10,837 cc and producing 210 kW (286 hp), driving through an automatic transmission with a PTO (power take-off) to run the bodywork. The truck meets Euro 6 emissions standards. The odometer reads just 73,584 km, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age and application.
The chassis runs a three-axle configuration. The front axle carries 385/65 22.5 tyres on leaf suspension, with a maximum axle load of 9,000 kg, and is a steering axle. The first rear axle is fitted with dual 315/80 22.5 tyres on air suspension, with a single reduction drive and a maximum axle load of 11,500 kg. The second rear axle also runs on air suspension with 385/65 22.5 tyres, has a maximum axle load of 7,500 kg, and is a steering axle. The overall empty weight is 16,285 kg and the carrying capacity is 11,715 kg. Overall dimensions are 910 cm long, 255 cm wide, and 360 cm tall, with a wheelbase of 420 cm.
The cab is a day cab seating two, with air conditioning, cruise control, electrically operated windows, a centre armrest, a reversing camera, a roof hatch, a sun visor, a radio/CD player, and warning lights. General, technical, and visual condition are all rated good, and the Dutch APK roadworthiness certificate was valid until March 2025.
