FTF – other truck models: collective page of the Dutch manufacturer Floor Truck Fabriek from Wijchen, six- to twelve-cylinder engines of 6,900 to 13,940 cm³, gross weights from 16.5 to 41 tonnes
This page gathers trucks from FTF (Floor Truck Fabriek), a Dutch manufacturer based in Wijchen that built heavy and specialised commercial vehicles in small numbers for construction, heavy haulage and special applications. The type codes in the model list, such as F, FS and FSV, denote different axle and drive configurations, with the digits after them giving the number of axles and engine output under the manufacturer's own system. FTF chassis were frequently fitted with tippers, cranes or special bodies for heavy-haulage and construction-site work.

The register lists 34 versions here from six- to twelve-cylinder engines of 6,900 to 13,940 cm³, kerb weights of 7,016 to 19,161 kg, gross vehicle weights of 16,500 to 41,000 kg, lengths of 5,760 to 10,000 mm and widths of 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
FTF served a niche between large series manufacturers such as DAF and Mercedes-Benz and specialists in heavy and off-road vehicles, with customers mainly in Dutch construction and civil engineering as well as municipal and military buyers. The small production numbers and the variety of special bodies make surviving FTF vehicles sought after today among collectors of heavy construction vehicles.
On used FTF chassis, the frame and axle suspension are among the key checks given the high gross weight, along with the condition of tipper or crane hydraulics and the engines, which come from different suppliers depending on the model year. Brakes, steering and drive shafts should be checked especially thoroughly given their use in heavy haulage. Because of the small production numbers, spare parts are mostly only obtainable through Dutch specialists in heavy vehicles.
