This 2012 DAF XF 105 is a used timber truck — sometimes called a logging truck — built for the loading, transport, and off-loading of raw timber and forestry products. DAF is a well-established Dutch commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks for road haulage and specialist applications across Europe and beyond.
The truck itself is configured with a manual gearbox and full steel leaf suspension, keeping the drivetrain robust and well-suited to demanding forestry environments. The cab is a low-roof single-berth unit equipped with air conditioning, a night heater, a parking heater, a cool box, and a digital tachograph, making it suitable for extended or overnight working. A brake retarder of the hydraulic retarder type is fitted, providing supplementary braking capacity on loaded descents — an important feature in timber haulage. The chassis stands at a height of 130 cm and is fitted with aluminium rims. The wheelbase measures 380 cm between the first and second axles and 140 cm between the second and third. Fuel tank capacity is 470 litres. Axle 1 runs on 385/65 R22.5 tyres with a tread depth of approximately 40% on both sides, while Axle 2 is shod with 315/80 R22.5 tyres at around 65% on both outer positions. The maximum towing weight is rated at 44,000 kg. The vehicle is registered under plate BZ301WN, with chassis serial number XLRTT48MSOE922742.
Mounted behind the cab is a Loglift F281S83 loading crane, manufactured in 2011. This crane offers a maximum horizontal reach of 8.25 metres and is equipped with one hydraulic extension and two support legs for stability during operation. A rotator and a Hultdins log grapple are fitted as standard, allowing precise placement and secure gripping of timber bundles. Lift capacity varies with reach: 6,380 kg at 4 metres, 5,220 kg at 5 metres, 4,420 kg at 6 metres, 3,780 kg at 7 metres, and 3,280 kg at the full 8-metre extension. A squeeze box is also present.
The package includes a Friederich three-axle dolly with full steel suspension, disc brakes, and BPW Eco Plus axles. The dolly rides on 315/80 R22.5 tyres and features alloy wheels. Its platform height is 120 cm, its maximum gross weight is 34,000 kg, and its payload rating is 29,000 kg. The dolly bed dimensions are 470 × 250 × 180 cm. With the dolly loaded on top of the truck, the combined vehicle dimensions are 910 × 255 × 420 cm. This truck is located in the Netherlands and is offered at $42,500.
