High Roof Sleeper Cab Trucks for Sale (194)
Used High Roof Sleeper Cab Trucks
There are more and mode flat floor, high roof sleeper cab trucks for sale in the UK today. This is because cabs are definitely getting bigger.
In the old days a Volvo FH Globetrotter was considered hug, but now we have not only a Globetrotter XL but also a Globetrotter XXL! MAN too have worn out the XL, XLX, XXL sizing descriptions (having reverted back to GX, GM and GN in 2020).
DAF used to be content with a ‘Space Cab’ – now they have a ‘Super Space Cab’ and Mercedes love to go Mega and Giga – the GigaSpace being their top-sized high roof cab (at present).
Do you really need a high roof sleeper cab?
The high roof sleeper cabs are all well and good if the driver(s) are spending weeks away from home, but they add to the weight of the tractor unit and that is no good for payload and efficiency. Never mind the extra cost to buy these flagship trucks in the first place. These large cabs also play to the egos of the owners and the drivers – who wouldn’t want a V8 engine and a super high cab?
But is it the best for your business?
