As the ad here indicates its the only one in North America and as it looks very European in style I am going to suggest its made in Europe.

Here is a link to a German website that has photos of various old Fahti Trailers.

LOL just did a translation and it was actually made in the The Netherlands at Thorbeckestraat

[Donna D.]

Looks very much like some models of Biod. Must be The Netherlands influence!

[marijke]

No, Fahti were made in Germany before BIOD in the Netherlands took over and started producing them there. Does anyone here know where the one sold in Nanaimo in 2013 went to? I'd love to know!

[Bob Miller]

That's about a 2 year old post and the pics and ad are long gone.

[marijke]

Hi Bob, and thanks for replying
I ran into the ad somehow last week, it had a picture in the ad. Wondering if anyone here might know who bought it. With a bit of luck we might find out

[Evergreengirl]

Totally cool! Here's a link to a picture and some more info about them - in German so you'll need to translate.

Hi Evergreengirl, I will translate later when I have more time ;-)
They were under 1100 lbs and people have restored them, putting in lots of time and euro's. Getting the right parts in Germany/ Holland would be very expensive

It is still in Nanaimo in my back yard. We are going to be starting the frame off restoration early next year

[marijke]

Thanks for letting me know. Why take it off the frame, if you don't mind my asking?

[Beezer]

I would like to sandblast and powder coat the frame

[marijke]

Isn't it galvanized?

[Beezer]

Here is a link to some pictures I found of a frame off restore
