Draco DTTAD – second semi-trailer series in the register: from the DTTAD 800-1200 to the D.T.T.A.D. 1000-1600, unladen weight 4.9 to 16.3 t, gross weight 20 to 28 t
Alongside the DT series, the register also carries Draco's DTTAD series, from the DTTAD 800-1200 to the D.T.T.A.D. 1000-1600. The type designations come from Dutch vehicle registration data (RDW), where they are listed sometimes with and sometimes without periods between the letters. Like the DT series, DTTAD also targeted Dutch and Belgian hauliers who relied on robust standard semi-trailers in the medium-heavy segment.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 4,940 to 16,340 kg, gross weights from 20,000 to 28,000 kg, lengths from 12,780 to 13,400 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,590 mm.
With gross weights from 20 to 28 tonnes, the DTTAD trailers sit in the medium-heavy segment and were used in general semi-trailer haulage as well as for transporting building materials and machinery. Competing with larger manufacturers such as Schmitz Cargobull or Krone, Draco overall remained a regional supplier; used DTTAD trailers today mostly serve general construction and general cargo haulage.
Checks when buying used include the frame and side rails for cracks and rust, the condition of axles, brakes and suspension, the kingpin and landing legs, and the lighting system; the inconsistent spelling of the type plate in registration documents should be compared against the vehicle. It is also worth checking the frame welds around the axle suspension and the brake system for later upgrades.

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.
