The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 1,070 to 2,190 kg at a gross weight of up to 3,500 kg. Widths range from 1,920 to 2,550 mm.
With a gross weight of up to 3.5 tonnes, the DR range falls into the class of trailers that can be towed on an ordinary category B driving licence, in some cases with an additional test, covering a field of use from light transport trailers to heavy tandem-axle trailers for commercial use.
When buying a used trailer in this class, check above all the frame and drawbar for rust, the condition of axles and brakes (overrun brake, linings), the function of the lighting, and the tightness of the tarpaulin or body. Spare parts for axles, brakes and couplings are widely available through the general trailer accessories trade, largely independent of brand. It is also worth checking tyre age and tread depth, the function of the lighting system together with reflective markings, and proof of the periodic roadworthiness inspection.

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.
