FTE Introduction:

FTE/Fire Trucks and Equipment . Do not miss this unique opportunity. Specialists in used fire fighting vehicles from the Netherlands.

In 1988  FTE started up a cooperation with building-up companies and fire brigades for the purpose of trading in used fire fighting vehicles from fire brigades.

The fire fighting vehicles in Holland are replaced after about 14 to 18 years. All the other European countries replace their vehicles after about 22 to  24 years, which means that the Dutch trade-in vehicles are the most recent vehicles all over Europe.

Local authorities and industries, all over the world, that do not dispose of a budget for new vehicles, already found FTE for the delivery of a used vehicle which gives them the guarantee for an optimal fire prevention.

FTE trades in about 60 to 70 vehicles a year, in several types, such as:

• pumpers
• special equipment vehicles
• crew equipment transporters
• wood fire fighting vehicles
• pump mounted trailers
• turn table ladders
• hydraulic platforms
• rescue tools
• crash tenders for airports
• special vehicles for the chemical industries.

FTE has almost sevenhundred satisfied customers. Their vehicles still work to their full satisfaction. Some countries are not allowed to import used vehicles older than 8 to 10 years. But out of experience, we know, that most governments made an exception for a delivery from Holland carried out by FTE. Only because the Dutch vehicles are quite young with very low kilometre amount, mostly below 30.000 kilometres!! They are very well maintained.

Yearly, every chassis is tested and approved by the Dutch law and when necessary repaired/modified.

When you do not find a vehicle in our programme which is interesting for you, do not hesitate to contact us. Mostly we can look for and supply you with a special vehicle with the desired specifications. Or we can modify the installation to your specifications. Our sales programme changes every week, so you have to contact us when there is any interest, to check if the projectnumber is still available.

We have also possibilities for short or long term rental or lease of our fire fighting trucks and equipment.

The fire fighting equipment, like pumps, foam mixing systems are checked and when necessary repaired in our workshops (handling under NEN-ISO 9002).

Most of the listed project numbers are still in duty at the Dutch fire brigades, waiting for the delivery of a complete new vehicle. It is not a problem  to arrange a visit to the several fire stations to show the vehicles.

The name FTE is ample guarantee for the best solution to your particular needs. If you would like further details/information, please use our feedback form or contact us by phone/fax.
