Versatile Breaker
Active Vibration Reduction System

The TE 706-AVR breaker offers high-chiseling performance when working on wall and floor applications. It is the first in its class to feature a state-of-the art brushless SR-motor and an active vibration reduction system, which reduces the hammering mechanism’s vibration by up to 50%. The new model also has a three-level hammering power regulation for a wide variety of applications. Available in pointed, flat and wide-flat versions, the self-sharpening polygon chisels assure maximum productivity and efficiency by eliminating the need to resharpen, reforge or reharden the chisel.

From 6 to 8 Ft

Manufacturer introduces a hydraulic cab riser that is designed to help operators
more efficiently and safely complete their jobs. It can be adapted to all machines and used with a variety of attachments.
