Witteveen DR – light Dutch long trailers around 3.5 t: the DR 3500 range, unladen weight from 890 kg, lengths over 10.6 m for boat and machinery transport
Witteveen is a Dutch manufacturer of light, long tandem-axle trailers, widely used for transporting boats and machinery. The DR range mainly bundles versions in the roughly 3,500-kilogram gross-weight class – the DR 3500, DR 3502, DR 3560 and the S and VAR. C1 variants – whose type number directly matches the gross weight in kilograms. The very low unladen weight at a great length is typical of open, light frame constructions without an enclosed body.

The register lists 8 versions with unladen weights from 890 to 1,980 kg at a gross weight of 3,500 to 5,400 kg. Lengths range from 10,610 to 11,050 mm, widths from 2,000 to 2,350 mm.
At lengths of over 10 metres and an unladen weight at times under a tonne, the DR trailers suit the transport of long but comparatively light loads such as boats, pipes or construction machinery with a low unladen weight. In the Netherlands, with its dense network of waterways and inland shipping, this segment of light, long tandem-axle trailers is firmly established.
When buying used, the key checks are corrosion on the open frame, the condition of the axles, suspension and braking system, and the operation of the overrun brake. On boat trailers, the keel rollers, light board and corrosion from saltwater contact should also be checked; spare parts run through Dutch specialist trailer dealers.

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.
