HydraTune began with a question many in the field have asked but few have answered: Why are we still tuning hydraulics by hand under live conditions?

In his 18 years working across WA mine sites, Shane Lewis, an Indigenous entrepreneur and experienced diesel mechanic, had seen the risks of live hydraulic maintenance up close. That experience led to a turning point – one where safety, innovation, and firsthand knowledge came together to solve a critical industry problem.

Today, HydraTune is revolutionising hydraulic tuning through wireless technology, eliminating live work to protect technicians, whilst improving precision, safeguarding equipment and cutting downtime.
