There are more DAF beavertail trucks for sale on Truckpages than any other truck manufacturer. Ideal for carrying wheeled plant machinery, the DAF beavertail has a flat body that angles down at the rear to which a set of ramps can be attached for driving or winching wheeled plant machinery for transportation. As market leaders, DAF Trucks have a great dealer network to support these vehicles and excellent support for bodybuilders – especially those building specialist beavertail bodies.

Some operators will simply refer to one of these trucks as a ‘DAF plant body truck’.
