Top speed is 105 km/h. The gross vehicle weight is 19,000 kg. The machine runs on 8 wheels. The MXS series covers 12 models. Unladen weight within it ranges from 1,890 to 8,500 kg; the MXS 218 sits in the upper part of that range with 7,230 kg. Its immediate neighbours are the MXS 332 below it with 6,940 kg and the MXS 220 above it with 8,500 kg. Gross vehicle weight within it ranges from 7,000 to 32,000 kg; here the MXS 218 sits in the middle of that range with 19,000 kg. 394 Draco models across 23 series are on record.

Draco MXS – tandem-axle low-loader trailer range, from MXS 107 to MXS 332 in three size classes, 1,890 to 8,500 kg unladen weight, 7,000 to 32,000 kg gross weight

The Draco MXS range splits into three tens groups: the hundreds from MXS 107 to 110, the two-hundreds from MXS 210 to 220 and the three-hundreds from MXS 324 to 332, rising from smaller to larger size classes. Within each group the models differ in axle count and load capacity.

The register lists here 12 versions with unladen weights from 1,890 to 8,500 kg, gross weights from 7,000 to 32,000 kg, lengths from 4,060 to 13,410 mm and widths from 2,540 to 2,750 mm.

With gross weights from 7 to 32 tonnes the MXS range spans the compact tandem-axle trailer to the multi-axle low-loader for construction machinery and heavy haulage; such trailers are common in construction, earthworks and plant hire. They are towed by lorries or tractor units with a C1E or CE driving licence, depending on the combination's total weight.

When buying a used low-loader trailer, what counts is the condition of the frame and ramps, the function of the hydraulics and latches, corrosion on load-bearing parts, and the condition of axles, brakes and tyres; wear parts for the braking system and lighting are available through the trailer and construction machinery trade. The load capacity of the support jack and the condition of the coupling head and safety chain also belong in the pre-purchase check. Tyre tread depth and age are also worth checking, since trailers of this class are often used only seasonally.

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.
