This 2018 DAF CF340 is a beavertail truck — sometimes referred to as a beaver tail or plant lorry — designed to load, transport, and deliver heavy plant equipment, machinery, and vehicles. The beavertail body features a tapered rear deck that angles down close to the ground, allowing plant to be driven or winched on and off without the need for a separate ramp trailer. DAF is a well-established Dutch commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy goods vehicles for haulage, construction, and specialist transport applications across Europe and beyond.
This example is a 2018 model in used condition, located in the United Kingdom, and is priced at $34,995 plus VAT at 20%. It is Euro-6 compliant and meets ULEZ standards, making it suitable for operation in low-emission zones across the UK.
The truck is powered by a 340 bhp turbocharged diesel engine paired with a 12-speed ZF gearbox, offering smooth, controlled power delivery well suited to loaded plant transport. The gross vehicle weight is 26,000 kg (26 tonnes), giving it substantial capacity for heavier machinery.
The body is a dropside beavertail configuration built by Dody, fitted with a hydraulic winch for pulling machines onto the deck, a cheese-wedge rear ramp for low-angle loading, and rear lift capability. Working lights and beacons are included as part of the specification.
The cab is equipped with power-assisted steering, air conditioning, climate control, and air suspension, contributing to driver comfort on longer runs. The truck has had a single owner from new and is described as driving in first-class condition.
