The DAF Car Transporter (King Size / Super Kings K-11) was introduced in 1969. It consists of a cab and its permanently-attached trailer. Five mainline vehicles can be driven onto and carried on the trailer: three on the upper level and two on the lower level. Adjustable plastic tabs hold vehicles in place when the upper level is lowered for loading and unloading. These tabs were prone to breakage and loss, and are absent on many surviving examples of this model.
