Tecna Hydraulic Breakers
Tecna S.r.l.
Italian attachment specialist — hydraulic breakers and demolition tools from Lombardy
Overview
Tecna S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of hydraulic attachments including breakers, pulverisers, and sorting grabs, founded in 1985 in the Varese area of Lombardy. The company offers a full range of hydraulic breakers from mini to heavy class, with particular strength in the demolition and recycling sectors. Tecna products are distributed across Italy and exported to European and Middle Eastern markets.
History
Tecna was founded in 1985 in Olgiate Olona, in the Varese province of Lombardy, northern Italy. The company began as a manufacturer of hydraulic demolition attachments, expanding into hydraulic breakers as demand from the Italian construction sector grew. Through the 1990s, Tecna developed a comprehensive attachment range and established distribution partnerships across Europe. The company invested in CNC machining and quality control processes to compete with established Italian and European brands.
Key Technologies
Dual-Chamber Accumulator System
Tecna breakers use a dual-chamber nitrogen accumulator system that maintains consistent working pressure across varying hydraulic flow conditions, ensuring stable impact energy and frequency throughout the work cycle.
Anti-Blank-Fire Protection
Tecna's anti-blank-fire system detects when the tool loses contact with the material and automatically reduces impact frequency, protecting the breaker from internal damage caused by unloaded strikes.
Hardened Steel Components
Tecna uses high-grade hardened steel for pistons, cylinder bores, and front head components, with surface hardness optimised for abrasive demolition and quarry environments.
