Chassis
DAF LF Euro 5
The chassis of the LF Euro 5 has been designed for maximum stiffness and excellent driving characteristics, a low kerb weight and ample room for positioning components. The chassis is completely flat and the electrical installation ensures maximum bodybuilder friendliness. In order to provide vehicles tailored to every application, the LF Series features a large number of variants in terms of payload and wheelbase.
High payload
Light and strong
The LF chassis is a single-wall construction, which keeps kerb weight as low as possible — high-quality steel is used for maximum strength.
For extra load capability, the 18 and 19-tonne models can be fitted with a 13-tonne rear axle, which is important in countries where loads exceeding 11.5 tonnes are permitted on the driven axle.
Easy to build on
Important for a truck in the segment of the DAF LF is the bodybuilder friendliness. The chassis of the LF is for that reason completely flat. Practical mounting brackets are available as an option.
