Dijkstra DRVO – heavy trailer range: 9 versions, unladen weight from 7,072 to 12,940 kg, gross weight from 36,000 to 45,000 kg, lengths of up to around 12.5 metres
Dijkstra builds a range of heavy commercial trailers under the designation DRVO, brought together on this page. The model names combine the code DRVO, in one case written with dots as D.R.V.O. 13-27, with two numeric values, the first ranging between 12 and 17 and the second between 20 and 30; the order of the digits is not consistently ascending.

The register lists here 9 versions with unladen weights from 7,072 to 12,940 kg at a gross weight of 36,000 to 45,000 kg. Lengths range from 11,400 to 12,470 mm, and widths from 2,480 to 2,600 mm.
With gross weights up to 45 tonnes and lengths of around 11 to 12.5 metres, the DRVO range is among the heavy trailer ranges for European long-haul transport, used in combination with tractor units or as trailers in a truck train for bulk and general cargo. The spread of unladen weights from around 7 to almost 13 tonnes points to differently heavy body variants within the range.
When buying a used trailer of this range, check the frame and chassis rails for corrosion and cracking, the condition of the multi-axle units and the braking system, the operation of the suspension, and on tarpaulin-covered versions also the tightness of the tarpaulin and hoops. Wear parts for axles and brakes are available through the general commercial-vehicle parts trade, and on long frames it is also worth assessing the torsional stiffness.

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.
