DAF Crane trucks are available for sale starting at a small, 7.5 tonne DAF LF tipper with a crane for builders merchant use to top of the range 8×4 DAF XF trucks with cranes for machinery transport. You will find them all listed for sale at Truckpages. Consider carrying out a ‘keyword’ search if you are looking for a particular brand of crane – simply enter ‘ DAF Hiab’ into the search term to find all trucks with Hiab (or Palfinger) cranes fitted. You can then filter the search down to include only DAF trucks or only DAF LF trucks as an example.
As with all crane trucks you will find a variety of crane configurations – front-mounted, mid-mounted and rear-mounted cranes are all available. Consider the job the crane has to carry out – there is no point in spending more money than you need to buying an over specified crane as they are more expensive and weigh more for the truck to carry around impacting your fuel economy.
