Years of Service

When a truck, generator, or piece of heavy equipment overheats—or when a diesel aftertreatment system starts acting up—every hour down costs money. Ellet Radiator is located right here in Akron, and we focus on the components that keep hard-working machines running: radiators, charge air coolers, oil coolers, hydraulic coolers, and diesel emissions parts like DPF, DOC, and SCR.

If you need a shop that understands heavy-duty systems (not just passenger vehicles), our team is ready to help you diagnose the issue, recommend the best fix, and get you back to work.

Call Ellet Radiator at (330) 784-8226 to discuss your equipment, symptoms, and turnaround options.

HEAVY-DUTY RADIATOR REPAIR, CLEANING & RECORE (AKRON):

Radiator problems don’t always show up as a big leak. Clogged cores, bent fins, internal scale, and restricted airflow can gradually push temperatures higher—especially while hauling, idling for long periods, or running under steady load.

Our Akron radiator services include:

  • Radiator cleaning to improve heat transfer and airflow
  • Radiator repair for leaks, damaged fittings, and worn connections
  • Radiator recore when a core is beyond cleaning or no longer performing (a smart way to restore like-new cooling without replacing the entire unit)

If your unit is running hot around Akron routes like I-77, I-76, Route 8, or on busy job sites, bring the radiator in for proper evaluation and service.

CHARGE AIR COOLERS / AIR-TO-AIR COOLERS (CAC):

Charge air coolers (intercoolers / air-to-air coolers) help diesel engines make efficient power by cooling the intake charge. When a CAC is restricted, contaminated, or compromised, you may notice reduced power, higher operating temps, or inconsistent performance.

We service and support charge air coolers for semi trucks, generators, and heavy equipment. If you suspect a boost or intake cooling issue, we can help you narrow down the cause and restore reliable operation.

OIL COOLERS & HYDRAULIC COOLERS (HEAVY DUTY APPLICATIONS):

High oil temperatures or overheating hydraulics can quickly turn into expensive damage. Coolers that are dirty, restricted, or failing can push systems beyond safe operating ranges.

We provide service for:

  • Engine oil coolers and related cooling components
  • Hydraulic coolers and heavy-duty cooler bundles
  • Cooling-related heat exchanger support for demanding environments

If your oil temps or hydraulic temps are creeping up, cooler cleaning and repair is often a cost-effective step before bigger component failures happen.

HYDRAULIC & FUEL TANK CLEANING, REPAIR & FABRICATION:

Tanks take abuse—contamination buildup, corrosion, impact damage, and leaks can cause downstream failures and safety concerns.

We offer:

  • Hydraulic tank cleaning and repair
  • Fuel tank cleaning and repair
  • Fabrication and modification support for heavy equipment and semi truck needs

If you’re battling dirty fuel/hydraulic fluid, recurring filter plugging, or a damaged tank, we can help you restore integrity and reduce system wear.

DPF, DOC & SCR CLEANING (DIESEL AFTERTREATMENT SUPPORT):

Diesel aftertreatment issues can trigger warning lights, frequent regens, derates, and lost time.

Ellet Radiator supports cleaning and service for:

  • DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters)
  • DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts)
  • SCR system components (Selective Catalytic Reduction)

If you’re seeing regen problems or ongoing emissions-related faults, professional cleaning and inspection can help address restrictions and buildup—especially for equipment that runs stop-and-go cycles or heavy-duty load patterns.

NEW PARTS IN STOCK (RADIATORS, CHARGE AIR COOLERS, DPF FILTERS):

When time matters, having the right replacement on hand can save the day. We stock new components for many common applications, including:

  • New radiators
  • New charge air coolers / air-to-air coolers
  • New DPF filters and related emissions components

Have an OEM part number, engine info, or equipment details? Call and we’ll help verify fitment and availability quickly.

2) Make/model and (if available) OEM part number
3) Symptoms (overheating, leaks, high oil temps, hydraulic overheating, derate/regen problems) 

FAQ:

A: Yes. Recoring replaces the internal core so the radiator can perform like it should again, especially when a core is restricted or worn out.

A: Yes. We service charge air coolers / air-to-air coolers and can help you diagnose issues tied to performance and operating temperature.

A: Yes. We support DPF, DOC, and SCR-related cleaning and service needs for diesel trucks and equipment.
