There’s Nothing H.E.A.T. Won’t or Can’t Do For Your Hydraulic Machinery

Founded in 2017, Hydraulic Energy Applications & Technology (H.E.A.T.) began as a need for onsite services and guidance for hydraulics was discovered in the Chicagoland area. Robert Rohde, the owner of H.E.A.T., noticed a surprising lack of local engineers and technicians who specialized in hydraulic systems. Utilizing his 20 years of experience working on directional boring equipment and hydraulics in the oil industry, Robert brought his expertise to Illinois and began H.E.A.T.

What sets H.E.A.T. apart from other similar companies is not only our focus on hydraulics but our capacity to do what others cannot. Our ability to troubleshoot a system and pinpoint the exact problem is more than what other companies are capable of. We’ve even been able to assist clients in repairing their hydraulic systems when the manufactures could not!

Our team has experience working on high value hydraulic equipment and machinery throughout the U.S., South Korea, Singapore, and Canada. More importantly, we pride ourselves on being honest and upfront when it comes to your hydraulic systems. Whether a single part needs fixing or an entire system needs replacing, we’ll always shoot straight with you.

Additionally, the folks at H.E.A.T. look to give back to the community. Over the past few years, our company has donated to local colleges, dog charities (Live Like Roo), national organizations, and more. Recently, H.E.A.T. helped the Girl Scouts of the USA by buying hundreds of boxes of cookies to donate to local police stations, fire stations, veteran centers and homeless shelters.

Robert Rohde and his team dedicate themselves to offering the highest quality service. If interested in how our hydraulic repair, installation and consulting can benefit your business, call us today at  630-509-3144, or contact us via our online form.
