The register lists 2 versions here with a uniform displacement of 12,902 cm³ from six-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 11,800 to 11,900 kg, gross vehicle weights from 25,700 to 26,500 kg, and lengths from 10,270 to 10,470 mm with a width of 2,550 mm.
With gross weights up to 26,500 kg and lengths over 10 metres, these combinations of DAF tractor and Wielton body belong to the heavy truck class for long-haul transport and special bodies such as tippers or tanker trailers, a segment where DAF competes across the European market alongside makers such as Volvo, Scania and Mercedes-Benz. The combination of Dutch tractor-unit building and Polish trailer and body building reflects the close ties within the European commercial vehicle industry.
For a used example, check the chassis frame and axles for corrosion, clutch and gearbox condition, the operation of the air brake system, and for Wielton bodies the tightness and wear of the respective body type; chassis parts run through the DAF dealer network, and body parts through Wielton.
