DAF LF45.180 Trucks for Sale (6)

Launched at Euro 4 in 2008, the 180hp version of DAF’s LF45.180 was primarily used as a 12 tonner – especially for sweeper or refuse-type operations. For operators wanting a more standard 7.5 tonner, the LF45.150 at Euro 3 or the LF45.160 at Euro 4 or 5 EEV was good enough. The LF45.180 differed from the larger LF55.180 mainly due to the size of the wheels.  The LF45 runs on 17.5″ wheels, whilst the LF55 runs on 19.5″ wheels at 12 tonnes GVW. The cabs are the same, but payloads higher thanks to the lower unladen weight and ease of access for urban operations. Powered by the PACCAR FR136 the LF45.180 actually had 185hp with an impressive 700Nm of torque. The LF45.180 was replaced in 2014 by the Euro 6 LF180. There are always plenty of examples of sweeper trucks in this model in the UK’s used truck market with crane trucks featuring well.
