Rotinoff Motors
Rotinoff Motors Ltd was a British commercial vehicle manufacturer based in Colnbrook in western London.
The company was founded in 1952 by the Belarusian emigré George Rotinoff. The Rotinoff company specialized in the production of ballast tractors and heavy transport vehicles. The vehicles of Rotinoff were used in Europe as tractors for tank transporters. In the Swiss army, the Rotinoff Atlantic GR 7 was used from 1958 - 1991 by the tank troops to haul Centurion tank. More Rotinoff transporters were in use as road train in Australia for the transport of cattle.
George Rotinoff died in 1959, and the brand name Rotinoff was then discontinued. Worldwide there are still Rotinoff vehicles in operation today and they are coveted collectibles.
