7.5 Tonne Box Trucks for Sale (123)

Whilst you would struggle to carry a tonne or more than four pallets in a typical light commercial vehicle, this entry-level box truck can usually carry over three tonnes and can take a box boy of up to around 22 feet long. However, there are downsides compared to a van – you will need to apply for an operator’s licence for the truck and the premises where you are planning to operate the truck from. The truck should be regularly inspected and must go to a special MoT station for testing (unlike vans which go where the cars are tested).

There are tonnes of different configurations available for these 7.5 tonne box vans – if you want a sleeper cab for nights out, no problem, need a tail lift? You can choose between Column, cantilever and tuck away, depending on the frequency of its use. Need a particularly high or low body? No problem, there are all kinds of heights and lengths available in the used truck market.

Most Popular 7.5 Tonne Box Truck?

Chances are that the most popular 7.5 tonne box truck in the market will be the right one for you. More choice, more parts, dealer backup etc.

The most popular brand of truck in the 7.5 tonne box truck category is DAF with their LF range of trucks. This range has been rebranded towards the end of 2023 to the XB to tie in with the rest of the DAF range naming conventions, although the truck itself remains broadly the same.

Many years ago it was Iveco (Iveco Ford and then before that Ford) with their Cargo which became the Eurocargo. You may find these trucks slightly cheaper to buy than the DAF.

If you are looking for the largest payloads at this weight range, then consider the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter range (sold be Mercedes truck dealers) or the Isuzu Truck N75 (not to be confused with Isuzu pickups – it is a different business in the UK). Both of these chassis weigh less than the mainstream European brands which means that you can carry more on them.
