Draco TZA – heavy tandem and tridem trailers from the Friesian manufacturer in Sneek: 12 versions from 10 to 45 tonnes gross vehicle weight
Draco is a family business from Sneek in the Dutch province of Friesland that, by its own account, has been building trailers and semi-trailers for road transport for well over a hundred years, frequently supplying vehicles tailored individually to bodybuilders and end customers. The TZA range numbers its models from TZA 109, through the 200-series, to the 300-series types; in practice, weight and length increase with the type number, from the lighter 100-series versions to the heaviest 300-series models.

The register lists 12 versions of the Draco TZA with kerb weights from 5,400 to 16,200 kg and gross vehicle weights from 10,000 to 45,000 kg. Lengths range from 8,670 to 14,240 mm, widths from 2,590 to 2,600 mm.
With gross weights up to 45 tonnes, the TZA ranks among the heavy tandem and tridem trailers for hauling heavy goods by road, aimed at haulage and transport companies that rely on tailor-made trailer solutions. In practice, such trailers are used in construction, agricultural and waste-haulage transport, where high payloads combined with a reasonable kerb weight are in demand.
When buying used, the frame, axle suspension and coupling deserve particular attention for corrosion, cracks and accident damage; the condition and inspection status of brakes and air suspension are equally important, as is the tightness of any hydraulic attachments. Draco offers spare parts and individual repairs at its Sneek site.

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.
