WHY HETTEC?

WE KNOW THE MACHINES.
WE KNOW THE TERRAIN.

Because every hour of downtime costs money. And because heavy machinery can achieve more.

HETTEC develops robust traction solutions for real-world challenges. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, we create products that enhance machine capability even in the toughest conditions and open up new possibilities.

BORN IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS

At home where machines reach their limits.

HETTEC is based in Grossarl, in the heart of the Austrian Alps. Here, alpine earthmoving, forestry operations and ski resorts come together. Steep slopes, rock, mud, snow and ice are part of our everyday environment.

Our roots in alpine earthmoving go back to 1959. Long before we began developing traction solutions, our family operated heavy machinery in demanding terrain.

That experience continues to shape everything we develop – down to the smallest detail.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

FIRST THE PROBLEM.
THEN THE PRODUCT.

We don't build unnecessary gadgets. We engineer heavy-duty solutions for real challenges.

HETTEC was born from a specific problem in the field. To this day, practical needs and the experience of machine operators are the starting point for our developments.

Because the best ideas often come not from behind a desk, but directly from the field.

WHAT SETS US APART

Experience. Engineering. Real-world practice.

We combine decades of machine operating experience with technical innovation, direct exchange with operators and hands-on testing in real conditions.

Hands-on experience since 1959

We know the challenges of difficult terrain from first-hand experience. This insight helps us understand what machines and their operators need – and develop practical solutions.

Our own alpine test area

At our site in Grossarl, in the Salzburg mountains, we develop, test and refine our solutions under real operating conditions.

Heavy-duty engineering for extreme conditions

Well-designed constructions, high-strength materials and proprietary developments such as the GEKKO DSS system reflect our commitment to quality.

WHAT MATTERS TO OUR CUSTOMERS

MORE OPERATING HOURS.
MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Our goal is to help machines operate as safely, efficiently and reliably as possible, even in the toughest conditions.

More traction. Less downtime. More productive operating hours – and the ability to tackle jobs that were previously difficult to accomplish.

Because what matters isn't just what we change on a machine.
It's what that machine can do as a result.

OUR VISION

UNLEASHING THE FULL POTENTIAL
OF HEAVY MACHINERY.

We believe heavy machinery can achieve even more. With decades of experience, innovative technology and practical solutions, we expand what machines can do – even in the most extreme conditions.
