The register lists here 4 versions with unladen weights from 500 to 1,200 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,720 to 2,430 mm.

At gross weights up to 3.5 tonnes, these are classic trailers for the BE driving licence category, towed by tradespeople, farmers, horticultural firms and private users in the Netherlands behind vans and heavy cars. The RDW registration data this register draws on show De Nijs as one of the smaller Dutch trailer builders alongside the country's big brands.

On a used example, rust on the chassis and drawbar, the condition of the overrun brake, axle bearings and suspension, the drawbar eye and the electrics all count. On the models with a larger load bed, also check the sides, ramps and lashing points; spare parts for axles and brakes come from the usual Dutch and European trailer suppliers.

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.
