FTF Museum: lorries with a history of their own

The FTF Museum in ’t Zand collects historic lorries and engines. The private collection is associated with Ton Spaansen; visits must be arranged directly.

Plan your visit ↗

Heavy vehicles up close

FTF stands for Floor Truck Fabriek. Various types are mentioned in the collection, alongside other lorries. Look at how the cab and chassis are built and ask what use a vehicle was fitted out for.

The engine deserves attention too

Detroit Diesel engines form a separate part of the collecting focus. That is a chance to look beyond the outside of a truck. Restoration stories can help you understand how much work lies behind a preserved vehicle.

No fixed public timetable

No current fixed weekly timetable is available. Visitor guides mention visits by appointment, but the exact arrangement needs to be confirmed by the owner. Also let them know how many people you want to bring and what your interests are.

Before you go

Get in touch in advance for a confirmed visit appointment; walk-in access has not been established.
