D & S – other models: flatbed trailers to the US military M1061A1 pattern, EU class O3 gross weights of 7,188 to 7,196 kg, unladen weights of 2,500 to 2,660 kg, widths of 2.44 to 2.45 m
This page gathers the D & S trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type designation M1061A1 refers to the US military pattern of a four-wheel platform trailer with a 5-ton payload, designed as a flatbed trailer for generators, tanks and equipment; the models fall into EU vehicle class O3 for trailers with a gross weight of 3.5 to 10 t. As class O3 trailers with a gross weight of 3.5 to 10 tonnes, the towing vehicle needs, depending on the combination, a category C1E or CE licence; trailers in this class are also subject to recurring roadworthiness testing.

The register lists here 4 versions with unladen weights from 2,500 to 2,660 kg, gross weights from 7,188 to 7,196 kg, lengths from 5,550 to 5,600 mm and widths from 2,440 to 2,450 mm.
Trailers of this pattern come from military surplus and are reused in civilian service, for instance in construction, as trailers for agricultural machinery and equipment, or in fire-brigade and civil-protection kit, where the rugged steel construction and low loading height are valued. The versions listed on this page show the range in which the maker operates outside its named model ranges.
On used trailers, frame and axle condition, the braking system (air-over-hydraulic), the tow eye and support legs, rust on the steel platform and the load capacity of the sides count; parts for this pattern run through military-vehicle specialists. As with any multi-axle steel trailer, it is also worth checking the wheel bearings for play and the frame's weld seams for rust-through, since both count among the first wear points on older military-pattern chassis.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
