Draf Other models

The register lists 27 versions here with unladen weights from 2,540 to 8,760 kg and gross vehicle weights from 5,500 to 41,000 kg. Lengths run from 10,000 to 13,950 mm, widths from 2,300 to 2,550 mm.

With a span from light to heavy semi-trailer, Draf covers several fields of commercial vehicle use and so competes with other European builders of tandem and tridem semi-trailers for general cargo and heavy haulage; the consistent length range of roughly 10 to 14 m shows that most of these semi-trailers are built for classic articulated operation.

When buying used, this class calls for checking the condition of the frame and axle mounts, corrosion on load-bearing parts, the function of the brake system and overrun coupling, and tyre and wheel bearing wear; on the long versions the frame is also worth checking for twist. Spare parts come through the manufacturer and workshops specialising in commercial vehicle trailers; on the heaviest versions the condition of the twin tyres and the function of the support legs are also worth a look.
