Groenewegen DRA – second trailer series in the register: from the DRA 6 6 to the DRA 9-16, unladen weight 4.0 to 6.8 t, gross weight 12 to 27 t
Alongside the RO series, the register also carries Groenewegen's DRA series, from the DRA 6 6 to the DRA 9-16. The type designations come from Dutch vehicle registration data (RDW) and combine digits without an explained letter meaning. Alongside the heavy RO series, DRA covered Groenewegen's mid-market segment, better suited to smaller construction and recycling firms than to heavy-haulage operators.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 4,020 to 6,844 kg, gross weights from 12,000 to 27,000 kg, lengths from 8,980 to 10,320 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights from 12 to 27 tonnes, the DRA trailers sit below the heavy RO series and were used for medium-heavy construction and goods haulage. In the medium-heavy segment, Groenewegen competed with versatile manufacturers such as Pacton or Renders; used DRA trailers today mostly serve regional construction and waste-disposal firms.
Checks when buying used include the frame and cross members for rust and cracks, the condition of axles, brakes and suspension, the kingpin or towing eye, and the lighting system; the registration history shows earlier axle load adjustments. It is also worth checking the frame welds around the axle suspension and the condition and seals of the brake cylinders, air lines and electrical connectors, which tend to wear first on trailers of this age.

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.
