Draco DAMT – Dutch trailer range: five versions from 3,400 to 7,820 kg unladen weight, 12,000 to 20,000 kg gross weight, 9.3 to 11.06 m length
Draco is a Dutch trailer manufacturer. The DAMT range on this page covers the 1200, 1600, 1800, 1800 C and 2000 models, whose four-digit type designation orders the payload class by the manufacturer's logic.

The register lists five versions with unladen weights from 3,400 to 7,820 kg, gross weights from 12,000 to 20,000 kg, lengths from 9,300 to 11,060 mm and widths from 2,430 to 2,600 mm.
Trailers of this size are common in European road haulage as classic twin-axle trailers behind rigid trucks, for example in building materials, general cargo and regional transport, where they markedly increase the payload of a combination compared with a rigid vehicle alone. Such trailers are often used as a second vehicle behind an existing truck, flexibly extending a fleet without having to invest in an additional semi-trailer combination.
When buying a used example, what matters is the frame and drawbar, the function of the overrun brake and coupling, the condition of axles, brakes and tyres, and corrosion on the chassis rails and load floor. Spare parts for Dutch trailers of this class usually come from common axle and brake suppliers such as BPW, SAF or Knott, and directly from the manufacturer. The lighting system, wheel chocks and complete registration documentation also belong in the pre-purchase check.

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.
