18 tonne lorries we buy

An 18 tonner is the biggest two-axle rigid allowed on UK roads, which makes it the go-to truck for distribution, builders’ merchants and local authorities. We buy them with any body:

  • Curtainsiders and box bodies, with or without a tail lift
  • Fridges with diesel or electric standby units
  • Dropsides and flatbeds, often with a lorry-mounted crane
  • Tippers and skip loaders
  • Specialist bodies such as gully emptiers, road sweepers and refuse bodies

Models we see most

DAF LF and CF, Mercedes-Benz Atego and Axor, MAN TGM and TGS, Volvo FL and FE, Iveco Eurocargo, Renault D Wide and Scania P series. Older 18 tonners such as the DAF 55 and Mercedes 1823 are welcome too, especially for export.

Getting the best price

18 tonners are bought for the job they can do, so the body and its equipment matter. Include photos of the body, the tail lift or crane, and the cab interior. Tell us about any recent work, such as tyres, brakes or a clutch. That way we can price it accurately first time and there are no surprises when we inspect.

How it works

  1. Send the reg and photos

    Fill in the form on your phone and add a few clear photos. It's free and there's no obligation.

  2. Get an offer from a real buyer

    Our buying team reviews your vehicle and calls or WhatsApps you with an offer. No auction, no middle-men.

  3. Get paid the same day

    Once we've inspected the vehicle and agreed the final price, you're paid the same day and we arrange fast collection.
