The DAF CF curtainsider is a versatile commercial vehicle designed for transporting larger, heavier and palletised goods efficiently across the UK. Its combination of load capacity, accessibility and reliability makes it an excellent choice for businesses that need dependable transport for regular distribution, time-sensitive consignments or larger commercial deliveries.
One of the main advantages of a curtainsider body is easy access to the load area. Instead of relying solely on rear doors, the side curtains can be opened to allow forklifts to load and unload goods from either side of the vehicle. This can significantly speed up collections and deliveries, especially at warehouses, distribution centres and commercial sites.
The vehicle is particularly well suited to palletised freight, machinery, boxed goods, retail stock, manufacturing materials and other larger consignments that require more capacity than a standard van. Its size also makes it ideal for multi-pallet deliveries and scheduled distribution work.
The DAF CF platform is built for demanding commercial use, offering a strong balance of payload capability, driver comfort and road performance. For customers, that means a dependable solution for moving substantial loads over both short and long distances.
