Low-volume prototyping through full production runs, with flexibility to scale as your program grows.

HEAVY-DUTY RADIATORS

Built to outlast the conditions that break ordinary radiators.

Our copper-brass and aluminum radiator systems are engineered for high-horsepower engines and harsh duty cycles. Whether you need a custom configuration for an OEM platform or a retrofit drop-in for installed equipment, we engineer the right solution for the application.

  • Copper-brass and aluminum radiator construction
  • Designed for high-horsepower engines and continuous duty
  • Custom configurations for OEM and retrofit applications
  • Horizontal/table, vertical, and modular package formats

Available Configurations

  • Horizontal / Table Package
  • Vertical Package
  • Radiator / CAC Combinations
  • CuBr (Copper-Brass) Radiator
  • Aluminum Radiator

CHARGE AIR COOLERS (CACs)

High-efficiency air-to-air cooling, optimized for diesel and gas engine performance.

Our charge air coolers extract more power and efficiency from turbocharged engines while standing up to the vibration, debris, and thermal cycling of off-highway and military environments.

High Efficiency

Air-to-air designs deliver maximum heat rejection for peak engine performance.

Engine-Optimized

Tuned for diesel and gas engine performance characteristics.

Built Tough

Durability tested for off-highway and military duty cycles.

OIL COOLERS & HEAT EXCHANGERS

Cooling for every fluid in your system.

From engine oil to hydraulics, transmission fluid to fuel and electronics — we engineer brazed aluminum and copper-brass heat exchangers built for high-pressure, high-temperature service.

  • Engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission, fuel, and electronics cooling
  • Brazed aluminum and copper-brass designs
  • Engineered for high pressure and temperature conditions

Cooler Types

  • EOC — Engine Oil Cooler
  • TOC — Transmission Oil Cooler
  • HOC — Hydraulic Oil Cooler
  • ITOC — Integrated Transmission Oil Cooler
  • Fuel Coolers
  • Electronics Coolers

COMPLETE COOLING PACKAGES

Integrated, turnkey thermal solutions — radiator, CAC, oil cooler, and fan systems engineered to work together.
