Ftf Other models

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.
