Jumbo DO270 – low-loader semi-trailers from the Netherlands: base version plus the E, SE, Z3 and Z4 versions, unladen weights of 8.74 to 12.45 t, gross weights up to 45 t, lengths up to 14 m
Jumbo manufactures low-loader semi-trailers in the Netherlands for transporting construction machinery and other tall, indivisible loads. This page gathers the DO270 type, listed in the register as the base version and as E, SE, Z3 and Z4; the versions differ in unladen weight, length and deck equipment. A semi-trailer of this type rests on the tractor unit via the fifth-wheel coupling and carries part of its weight through the towing vehicle.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 8,740 to 12,450 kg against gross weights from 39,500 to 45,000 kg. Lengths range from 8,450 to 14,000 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
As a semi-trailer for heavy haulage, the DO270 range is present in Dutch haulage and in cross-border traffic with Belgium and Germany, where it moves excavators, dozers and other construction machinery between building sites, ports and hire depots.
When buying used, the condition and function of the deck hydraulics, axles, brakes and tyres, the frame for distortion and corrosion, the kingpin and coupling, and a complete inspection history all matter; given the wide length span of this range, it is also worth checking chassis and deck length against the intended use. It is also worth checking lighting, electrical connectors and tyre tread depth. Spare parts run through the Dutch trailer and semi-trailer trade.

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.
