Mobile lubrication systems for vehicles and construction machines
For mobile machines such as trucks, excavators and tractors, especially robust barrel pumps for grease supply straight from the drum, compact single-point lubricators for individual points, and the weather-resistant 7-L oil tank for agricultural and construction machinery have proven themselves. For hydraulically driven attachments, hydraulic pumps that use the existing hydraulic circuit as their drive are also well suited. In-depth topics are covered on the pages for cost reduction, service life, service and universal use.
Lubrication requirements in mobile use
Mobile machines work under hard conditions — dust, shock loads, moisture and changing operating hours. Bolts, bushes, bearings and joints on excavators, loaders, trucks and agricultural machines are exposed to high loads and heavy contamination, and many points are hard to reach for manual greasing. A mobile lubrication system therefore has to be robust, work without a fixed energy supply where necessary, and keep delivering fresh lubricant even when the machine is out in the field for long periods.
Recommended system architecture
A typical mobile layout uses a robust grease pump — a barrel pump drawing from the drum, or a hydraulic pump driven by the machine's own hydraulics — feeding a progressive distributor to the points. For individual or scattered points, single-point lubricators make a point automatic without a network, and the 7-L oil tank gives long autonomy on agricultural and construction machines. The whole layout is built to survive vibration, dust and weather.
Maintenance & operation
Automatic lubrication replaces the manual greasing rounds that are easily forgotten on a busy fleet. Routine care is limited to refilling the reservoir, checking the lines and connections, and confirming the system is delivering — tasks that fit into normal vehicle servicing. Because every point is supplied continuously, wear and unplanned breakdowns in the field are reduced, keeping machines available where downtime is most costly.
