FTF Truck Tractor & Lowboy with Transformer Load - By Hans Romp


This FTF tractor pulling this transformer load was scratchbuilt by Hans Romp of The Netherlands. FTF stands for "Floor's Trailer Factory," a company in Nijkerk, The Netherlands. Beginning in 1966, FTF started building trucks from components, cabs from Motor Panels (England), engines from Detroit Diesel, Fuller or ZF gearboxes, and Timken or Rockwell axles, mostly building truck tractors for total loads to 300 tons. FTF no longer builds trucks, just trailers. Thanks to Hans, Jos Keja, and Arnold Tamminga for some interesting historical information on Dutch trucks!
