This DAF FAG 340 Welvaarts weighing system is a used garbage truck — also referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — built in 2019 and currently available on the used market. Garbage trucks of this type are purpose-built for the collection and compaction of municipal solid waste, operating on regular collection routes for local authorities and waste management contractors. DAF is a well-established Dutch commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks for logistics, construction, municipal, and specialist transport industries across Europe and beyond.
The body fitted to this vehicle is a Geesink GPM 4 rear-loader with a compaction volume of 20 cubic metres, a widely respected unit in the refuse collection sector. The loading system is a GEC type compatible with multiple bin standards — comb, DIN, Geesink, and ETB — giving operators flexibility across different collection container types. A Welvaarts weighing system is installed, allowing the truck to record the weight of each load as it is collected, which is particularly valuable for weight-based billing and route data compliance. Stop and Go functionality is also fitted, enabling the vehicle to advance incrementally during collection without the driver needing to re-engage gears repeatedly, improving operational efficiency and reducing driver fatigue. The cab is configured as a day cab with three seats, accommodating a driver and two collection crew members.
The chassis runs on three axles. The front axle has a maximum axle load of 8,000 kg and is a steering axle. The first rear axle has a maximum axle load of 7,500 kg and is also a steering axle, aiding manoeuvrability in tight residential streets. The second rear axle — the driven axle — carries a maximum load of 11,500 kg and is fitted with a differential lock and single reduction. Rear air suspension is installed, contributing to ride comfort and load stability. The engine displaces 10,837 cc across six cylinders, and the vehicle meets Euro 6 emissions standards. Tyres are sized 315/70R22.5 in a twin configuration. Overall dimensions are approximately 9.30 m in length, 2.55 m in width, and 3.50 m in height, with a kerb weight of approximately 15,559 kg and a payload capacity of around 11,441 kg. The vehicle is registered under plate 36-BLX-9 and was previously operated as a rental refuse truck. General, technical, and visual condition are each rated as very good.
