of cough tipper work it has got to be designed single-mindedly for that job. And only one fits the bill the Leyland DAF 45 Series.
The 45 Series has the strength and quality to excel in the toughest conditions.
CLEAR TO GO
On-site work requires excellent ground clearance, and a 45 Series tipper gives you just that.
With specialist on-off road wheel and tyre equipment, traction, manoeuvrability and ground clearance are all improved.
Whilst the fact that vulnerable headlights and indicators are above the bumper and not in it, as with some of its competitors, further reduces the costs of inevitable on-site knocks.
Braking equipment and the air cleaner are also carefully positioned within the chassis, out of harm's way. And a high level air-intake avoids excess dirt ingress.
All of which keeps the 45 Series tipper operator out of trouble and on the road earning money.
SMOOTH, POWERFUL TAKE-OFF EVERY TIME
Tough work requires a tough driveline and the 45 Series' combination of 6 cylinder engine, big clutch and H pattern, 5 speed gearbox, with a low ratio first gear specific to tipper applications, is not only rugged but The proven six cylinder engine, available at 130 or 150 bhp, offers excellent fuel economy and high torque levels at law revs to optimise traction on-site. And six cylinder power guarantees higher residual values in the future.
TRAVEL IN STYLE
The driver benefits from a comfortable and practical cab with easy entry and exit, hard wearing upholstery and rubber floor mats. Excellent all-round visibility is enhanced by the large heated mirrors. The driver will also be grateful for the fact that the 45 Series has a low loading height if loading or unloading by hand.
And for good measure, the 45 Series tipper offers the highest payload in its class, to maximise productivity and minimise the number of journeys.
FIRST CLASS SERVICE
Every Leyland DAF operator benefits from the hest back-up in the business, with longer opening hours, lower parts prices and higher parts availability.
Whilst the proven ability of Leyland DAFaid to provide the best and fastest roadside assistance is unquestioned.
All of which can lead you to only one conclusion: if you want to take off in 7.5 tonne tipper operations, get on-hoard a Leyland DAF 45 Series.
