Who we are 

HydraTune is a pioneering technology company dedicated to revolutionising hydraulic maintenance practices across a broad range of industries.  

Founded in 2018 by Perth-based Indigenous entrepreneur Shane Lewis, HydraTune dramatically reduces the risks associated with live hydraulic maintenance while enhancing efficiency and productivity. 

HydraTune’s wireless-digital hydraulic tuning system, SafeAdjust, represents a paradigm shift in maintenance technology; allowing technicians to make adjustments remotely and safely (from up to 100 metres away), and with a degree of accuracy that far surpasses the current ‘manual’ method. 

Koodaideri Innovation and Technology (KIT), the parent company of HydraTune, was established in 2018 with a mission to create solutions that eliminate high-risk maintenance practices through the Elimination of Live Work (ELW).
