Arrowhead Hydraulic Breakers
Arrowhead Hydraulic Breakers
Turkish engineering — compact to heavy hydraulic breakers for construction and quarrying
Overview
Arrowhead is a Turkish hydraulic breaker manufacturer founded in 1997 and headquartered in Ankara, Turkey. The company produces a range of hydraulic breakers from mini to heavy class, targeting construction, demolition, and quarrying applications. Arrowhead products are distributed across Turkey and exported to markets in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe.
History
Arrowhead was established in 1997 in Ankara, Turkey, during a period of significant growth in the Turkish construction sector. The company was founded to serve the domestic Turkish market with locally manufactured hydraulic breakers that could compete on price and availability with imported European and Asian brands. Through the 2000s, Arrowhead expanded its product range and invested in manufacturing capabilities to address a broader range of excavator classes. The company developed export channels into neighbouring Middle Eastern and Central Asian markets, where Turkish-manufactured equipment gained traction due to competitive pricing and regional proximity.
Key Technologies
Gas-assisted percussion system
Arrowhead breakers use a nitrogen gas-charged accumulator system to supplement hydraulic pressure during the power stroke, increasing impact energy delivery and maintaining consistent blow frequency across varying hydraulic flow conditions.
Hardened tool steel components
Arrowhead uses alloy tool steel for pistons and front-end components, with surface hardening treatments applied to wear-critical areas including the tool bushing zone and piston striking face.
Anti-blank-firing protection
Arrowhead's anti-blank-firing system reduces impact frequency when the tool loses contact with the material, protecting internal components from damage caused by unloaded strikes.
