This DAF CF370 Beavertail Truck — sometimes referred to as a beaver tail or transporter truck — is a heavy haulage vehicle designed to load, carry and deliver machinery, plant equipment and other large or heavy loads. The low-angled rear deck and ramp system allow wheeled and tracked equipment to be driven or winched directly onto the bed, making this type of truck a practical workhorse across construction, plant hire, agricultural and recovery sectors. DAF is a well-established Dutch commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing robust trucks for road haulage and specialist applications throughout Europe and beyond.
This example is a 2019 model in used condition, located in the United Kingdom, and is presented by the seller as being in immaculate condition. It is built on a 6x2 chassis configuration rated to 26 tonnes gross, with a rear lift and steer axle providing improved manoeuvrability and tyre wear management. The front axle is rated at 9 tonnes and is fitted with super single tyres. Drive is transmitted through an automatic gearbox, and recorded mileage stands at just 187,000 km — notably low for a truck of this age and application. A valid test certificate runs until June 2025.
The beavertail body is a Mac's heavy-duty unit, offering a robust and purpose-built load platform. Lashing rings are fitted both to the side raves and within the deck itself, allowing loads to be secured from multiple points. A wireless remote-controlled winch mounted beneath the headboard enables safe, single-operator loading and retrieval of machinery. Hydraulic flip-toe ramps at the rear provide a smooth and controlled transition for equipment being driven or winched up onto the deck. Additional practical features include stainless steel toolboxes for secure on-board storage, a rear tow pin and ball for towing capability, and cameras fitted all around the vehicle to assist with visibility and manoeuvring.
