Draco AXS: Draco's semi-trailer range with a three-digit size code, from AXS 212 to AXS 436, unladen weight 4.25 to 15 t, gross weight 12 to 36 t
This page gathers the versions of Draco's AXS range. The model designation consists of AXS and a three-digit number code from 212 to 436, which orders the individual versions by build size within the range; the base designation AXS without a number stands for the range's base version. The number steps from 212 to 436 do not rise evenly but form several groups of build sizes within the range.

The register lists 13 versions here with unladen weights from 4,250 to 15,000 kg, gross weights from 12,000 to 36,000 kg, lengths from 8,290 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,540 to 2,600 mm.
With gross weights from 12 to 36 t, the AXS range covers the mid to upper segment of semi-trailers used in European freight transport for articulated lorry haulage. Semi-trailers of this size are used in European long-haul freight for general cargo, pallets and consolidated goods, and are usually swapped between several tractor units.
When buying used at this size, what matters most is the condition of the frame and axle assembly, the function of the braking system, wear on the kingpin, and the tyres and lighting; spare parts for semi-trailers of this class are stocked by the established trailer workshops. On older examples, it is also worth checking the wheel chocks and the electrical system and lighting.

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.
