De Vries JV – the range of light to medium-duty trailers whose model number states the weight class in kilograms, gross weight from 3.5 to 12 t
The JV range from De Vries bundles trailers in graduated weight classes; the model number (JV 3500, JV 5000, JV 8000, JV 12000 and intermediate steps such as JV 5400 or JV 8700) states the gross-weight class in kilograms, while the suffix T or KA distinguishes versions with a different drawbar or body form within the same weight class.

The register lists 33 versions with unladen weights from 1,560 to 8,280 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,500 to 12,000 kg, lengths from 8,840 to 12,170 mm and widths from 1,670 to 2,550 mm.
With a graduation from 3.5 to 12 tonnes gross weight, the JV range covers the middle and upper segment of drawbar trailers for construction and agricultural businesses, a market field where numerous makers across Europe offer a similar logic of graduated weight classes; customers are mainly construction firms, plant-hire businesses and larger farms.
When buying used, what counts is the condition of the frame and load bed for cracks and deformation, the function of the axles and braking system as well as the drawbar and coupling, plus corrosion on load-bearing parts; on the heavier versions also even tyre wear and the condition of the jockey wheel and chocks. Spare parts for axles and the braking system are available through the general trailer specialist 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.
