TECFOR was founded in 1987 as a metalworking and import company to serve the forestry sector
. We started manufacturing a three-wheeled loader and importing cranes , and skyline harvesting systems .
Our three - wheeler was designed to skid , sort , bunch and load logs in forestry activities . Since we started
, we have delivered almost 200 units , which are working in Chile , Argentina , Venezuela and Uruguay .
In 1990 we started our diversification , adding truck mounted cranes into our product line , which we still import
from AMCO VEBA - Italy . We attend mining , utilities , construction , transport and gas companies and their contractors
.
Due to our excellent connections to truck dealers , and our recognized experience in hydraulics , in 1997 we succeeded
in introducing MAXON - USA liftgates in Chile . We install them on trucks and pick-up that distributes goods in
mayor cities .
A related product we offer to truck body manufacturers are TODCO roll up overhead doors , which are getting more
popular in recent years .
We also represent MILLER Industries in Chile , the world leader in towing and recovery equipments . We import complete
wreckers or the equipments to be mounted locally on the clients preferred trucks .
TECFOR is located in Santiago ( 4 million inhabitants ) , along the highway to the south , with a nice open showroom
to exhibit our product line . We own a 16.000 m² site , with almost 2.500 m² industrial facilities and
