Draco – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, from the RA through the RAO to the R series, up to 9.7 t gross vehicle weight, lengths up to 12.68 m
This page gathers the Draco trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The model names form several code families – R, RA, RAO and RTEAL – each followed by a number, plus standalone models such as DA800, DAMT 180, MDS 109 and MZS 220. It is notable that identical numbers such as 520 or 340 recur across several prefix families, for example in R 1535, RA 520 and RAO 340.

The register lists here 18 versions with gross vehicle weights from 1,200 to 9,700 kg and widths from 1,790 to 2,600 mm; lengths are recorded for the longest versions from 6,970 to 12,680 mm.
With gross vehicle weights up to 9.7 t and lengths beyond 12 m, this collective page ranges from medium-duty trailers to long carriers for bulky loads. The parallel R, RA and RAO series stand for a broadly spread model programme within a mid-sized trailer line-up. Trailers across this range are mainly used by trade and municipal operators, who switch between shorter and longer versions depending on the job without changing tow vehicle.
When buying used at this class, check the frame and axle mounts for cracks and corrosion, the function of the brake system and lighting, wear on the axle bearings and tyres, and the condition of the tow eye and jockey leg. On the longer versions, also check the load-area capacity and the condition of any ramps or lashing points. On the shorter models, also check the condition of the side panels; on the longer versions, the load capacity of individual bed sections.

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.
