DAF AA – trailers from the early years of Van Doorne's Aanhangwagen Fabriek, unladen weights 2,950 to 10,660 kg, gross weights 5,300 to 16,000 kg, lengths up to 12,780 mm, widths up to 2,610 mm
DAF – the abbreviation stands for Van Doorne's Aanhangwagen Fabriek, Dutch for trailer factory – began in the 1920s in Eindhoven as a trailer maker, before the present-day truck manufacturer DAF Trucks grew out of it from the 1930s; the AA range on this page stands for that original line of business. The type designations consist of two number groups separated by a hyphen, such as AA 1200-960 or AA 1600-1300, followed by suffixes such as S or B for different equipment variants.

The register lists here 17 versions with unladen weights from 2,950 to 10,660 kg, permissible gross weights from 5,300 to 16,000 kg, lengths from 7,880 to 12,780 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,610 mm.
This weight class covers heavy drawbar and centre-axle trailers for freight haulage, of the kind used in European long-distance transport alongside the truck; DAF's AA range counts among the early representatives of this market segment, now served by specialised trailer makers.
On these older, heavy trailer types the frame and drawbar in particular should be checked for fatigue cracks and corrosion, as should the axles, brake drums and suspension appropriate to the high gross weight. Given the age of the range, the overrun gear or air-brake system and the electrics should be signed off by a specialist workshop; spares for the old AA types are only available to a limited extent.

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.
