About Hunklinger allortech
Hunklinger allortech GmbH, based in Valley (Upper Bavaria), is a supplier of hydraulic paver laying tongs and gripper and shifting tongs for excavators, loaders and paving machines. The portfolio is complemented by ergonomic hand screeding devices for subgrade preparation as well as paving tools such as stone lifters, slab lifters, paving hammers, jointing irons and shovels. The attachments are manufactured and assembled in the company's own workshop with metalworking machines; in particular, hand tools are made of hardened spring steel with rubber elements. Emerging from a metalworking, welding and mini-excavator rental business, the company has developed mechanical paving laying with the excavator since the 1990s and holds patents for, among others, the twist system, herringbone method and shifting kinematics. Customers come from paving construction, civil engineering, road construction and landscaping; equipment has been delivered to Brazil, Russia, the UAE and Nigeria, among others. In addition to new equipment, the company offers fully overhauled used equipment and spare parts.
