Historical Background

DAF Trucks has been one of Europe’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers since the mid-20th century, building a strong reputation for reliability, durability and fuel efficiency in the heavy haulage and specialist vehicle sectors. DAF chassis became especially popular in Britain for municipal services, construction support and waste management applications due to their robust engineering and adaptability for specialist bodywork. Modern skip lorries based on DAF platforms are widely used by skip hire companies and waste operators throughout the UK.

Skip lorries form an essential part of the British construction and waste disposal industry, transporting large waste containers between residential, commercial and industrial sites. Companies operating in London and major urban areas rely heavily on these vehicles to manage building waste, recycling and demolition materials efficiently. The familiar hydraulic skip loading system allows rapid collection and delivery of skips, making these vehicles a common sight on British roads from the 1980s onwards as construction and environmental waste management services expanded nationwide.
