Dijkstra DRVA – Dutch low-loader range from 5.5 to 6.6 t unladen weight at 20 to 28 t gross weight, around 9.75 m long, widths 2.4 to 2.5 m
This page gathers Dijkstra's DRVA range, a Dutch maker of low-loaders for carrying machinery. The range covers the base D.R.V.A. 9-18 version and the DRVA 10 18 1, DRVA 10-10 and DRVA 10-18 variants.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 5,522 to 6,630 kg at a gross weight of 20,000 to 28,000 kg, a length of around 9,750 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,500 mm. With a gross weight consistently above 10 t, the whole range falls into vehicle class O4.
Low-loaders of this size carry excavators, wheel loaders and other construction machinery on a lowered deck and are used by haulage firms and plant hire companies in the Dutch market; the narrow weight span across the range points to a largely shared base construction. The different model designations mainly differ in axle count and equipment, at a similar length and width. The low, lowered deck allows tall machinery to be carried within the vehicle's permitted overall height.
Buying used at this class, the points that matter are the condition of the ramps and their locking, the function of the braking system, wear on the axles and tyres, and cracks or corrosion on the chassis. The validity of the periodic roadworthiness test and the tightness of the ramp hydraulics should also be checked; spare parts run through the Dijkstra dealer network.

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.
