Ginaf G 5245-530 - Van der Vlist

This Ginaf 5-axled tractor belongs to the well known company Van der Vlist from Groot Ammers (NL). It is a Ginaf G5245 with the 530 hp 12,6 liter DAF XF engine.

This tractor has a 10x4 axle layout and is equiped with a “Super Space Cab” cab of DAF. This was the first truck of this type that was delivered by Ginaf. An other one is used by Zwagerman. The difference between both is the 3rd axle. Zwagerman has a Ginaf unit (10 tons) where V.d. Vlist uses a standard DAF axle of about 8 to 9 tons.

Behind the cab they built a tower in Van der Vlist style. To the right there is the exhaust with it’s muffler and some air barrels. To the left there is a dieseltank and above that are some storage compartments.

From the side you can see how far the fifth wheel is mounted to the front to get the correct axle loads. Some air barrels have been mounted between the front axles.
