DAF FAX – the collective page for construction tractor units on the CF85 base, 8x2 and 10x4 chassis with wide-spread axles, 340 kW, 10.8 to 12.9 litres engine capacity, up to 50 tonnes gross vehicle weight
This page gathers DAF vehicles bearing the FAX designation, brought together in the register on one collective page. All the models are based on the CF85 series, as the type names FAX CF85, FAX CF85.380 and FAX CF85.430 show directly, and they carry multi-axle configurations with widely spaced axles, so-called wide-spread chassis, as seen in the FAX 10X4 and FAX 8X2 WSG designations. Such configurations are typical of construction and special-purpose vehicles, where the axle load has to be spread over a larger area. DAF Trucks, headquartered in Eindhoven, has belonged to the US commercial-vehicle group PACCAR since 1996.

The register lists 12 versions with 10,837 to 12,902 cm³ engine capacity from six-cylinder engines, 14,700 to 33,629 kg kerb weight and 37,000 to 50,000 kg gross vehicle weight. Lengths range from 8,260 to 11,850 mm, widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm; one measured output stands at 340 kW.
The CF85 series covers DAF's heavy segment between the lighter CF75 and the long-haul flagship XF, and thanks to its robust axle configurations is favoured for construction, tipper and special bodies such as concrete mixers or cranes. The wide-spread layout improves load distribution and manoeuvrability on construction sites compared with classic tandem axles.
For a used example, the multi-axle steering, the condition of the wide-spread axles, and the frame and mounting points for concrete-mixer or tipper bodies deserve particular attention, as these vehicles usually saw hard construction-site service. Given the high gross vehicle weights, the braking system and tyre condition should be checked closely; spare parts are supplied through DAF's dense service network.
