Dam – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, DA and DO type codes, unladen weights from 1,300 to 10,732 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 39,000 kg, widths from 2,160 to 2,500 mm

This page gathers the Dam trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations follow a code system of the letters DA and DO, followed by two- to four-digit number codes and further codes such as ZRZ, VB, LM or SAF. The span runs from lighter trailers close to class O2 to heavy-duty versions of class O4.

The register lists here 13 versions with unladen weights from 1,300 to 10,732 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 39,000 kg and widths from 2,160 to 2,500 mm.

With gross weights up to 39,000 kg the range extends into low-loaders and semi-trailers for heavy and construction transport, while the lighter versions serve as tandem-axle trailers for commercial and agricultural use. A single brand thus covers an unusually wide weight spectrum. Because the range spans such different segments, individual versions ended up in very different fleets, from farms to construction companies.

On used examples of this range, frame and axle condition, brakes and the overrun brake, and the tightness of hydraulics and tipping rams on the heavy versions all count; rust on the chassis and sides betrays age more reliably than the type plate. Axles and brake systems on trailers of this size usually come from specialist suppliers, so spare parts are available independent of the trailer builder.

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.
