• There's more than one way to run at 44 tonnes, and Sawtry-based BAS has chosen a rather unusual configuration for its latest skip loader outfit. The seven-axle rig consists of a sleeper
cabbed Oaf FAD 85CF 430 8x4 towing a low-profile triaxle drawbar trailer. The 5.7m-wheelbase chassis has a heavy-duty steel-sprung rear bogie and ABS brakes; it drives via a ZF 165-181 gearbox.
The Chieftain air-suspended triaide trailer is connected to the Oaf factory-fitted drawbar kit via a Rockinger coupling, specified for ease of use on rough terrain. Roll-on/roll-off skip loading gear is by Boughton, and includes a pair of 40yd3 skips with an Edbro sheeting system.
With many tightly planned building and demolition projects featuring in the BAS Daf's 80,000km-per-year work schedule, the sleeper cab allows the driver to be ready on-site for the frequent early starts.
