The Technofast Team
The Technofast team is a dedicated collective of engineering professionals focused on delivering reliable industrial outcomes daily.
Over 90 per cent of our personnel have worked together for more than ten years, fostering a highly collaborative environment built on shared technical expertise.
We are committed to designing and supplying innovative, economical hydraulic bolt tensioner configurations to secure our customers’ most demanding applications worldwide.
Our collective focus remains on systematically improving on-site efficiency, torque accuracy, and operator safety across heavy industrial facilities.
Our History
Queensland farmer John Bucknell revolutionised industrial fastening by developing hydraulic nuts and bolts with a non-deflecting thread, solving maintenance delays he experienced with disc ploughs.
After refining the technology through FEA analysis with the University of Queensland and securing patents in the early 1980s, he established Technofast Industries in the 1990s, expanding from a garage workshop to international operations and the creation of EziTite products.
A Team of Engineers Creating Unique Solutions
While we do have a wide range of off-the-shelf equipment, our team is highly experienced in conceptualising unique and bespoke bolt tensioners for specific applications with individual requirements. We’ll create and 3D model your individual concept and develop a smart tool that saves you labour and money, increases safety, and improves your team’s experience at work.
We’re also very well equipped to provide engineering services to assist our customers. Using the latest in 3D drafting, Finite Element Analysis and modelling software, we can create specialty items. These include replacement parts and special build solutions such as adjustable sheaves for steel mills and cable suspension systems for mining draglines.
Vision
Technofast is committed to continuing the development of its internationally competitive product suite and organisation. We believe our forward-thinking team, our innovative and leading edge technology development, and our uncompromising customer service positions us perfectly to achieve this.
Mission
Our mission is to promote the use of our unique tensioning solutions to global markets. We believe that utilising our designs in hydraulic tensioning techniques fosters efficacy, efficiency, economy, and safety in industry worldwide.

Our focus is on providing cost-effective, highly reliable solutions manufactured to rigorous standards, fully backed by the ready availability of genuine replacement parts and rapid field service.
Standard
We uphold quality through a rigid Quality Management System, skilled personnel, ongoing research and development, and responsive customer service. Our engineering operations satisfy the strict requirements of ISO 9001:2015 while aligning with 10CFR50 Appendix B, 10CFR21, and NCA3800 compliance codes to ensure absolute global operational confidence
Innovative Hydraulic & Bolt Tensioning Solutions
With designs based on the utilisation of simple hydraulic power, our team provides innovative and cost-effective solutions for the tensioning of bolts and shafts to industries like mining, quarrying, power generation, chemical plants, and oil and gas processing. The direct tension applied by hydraulic power to achieve the high forces required in these industries ensures that such applications are completed efficiently, effectively, economically and safely.
Our team is proud to have been providing our Australian-made bolting and tensioning solutions for almost 30 years now. Working closely with our user groups, we have striven to develop a wide range of products that improve hydraulic tensioning. It is important to us that our solutions are both affordable and practical.
It is also factored into our designs that our products can be quickly and easily fitted for use with your existing hydraulic pumps and equipment.
