LubeMax industry solutions

Lubricants for construction equipment working under load, dust and long hours.

Support excavators, loaders, graders, cranes, compactors, generators and site vehicles with a disciplined lubrication programme built around the equipment requirement and operating environment.

Operating context

Lubrication decisions built around equipment and duty.

Construction lubrication begins with the OEM requirement, correct viscosity, contamination control and planned relubrication intervals.

01

Excavators and loaders

Confirm the component, required grade, operating conditions and current equipment documentation before selecting a lubricant.

02

Graders and compactors

Confirm the component, required grade, operating conditions and current equipment documentation before selecting a lubricant.

03

Cranes and lifting equipment

Confirm the component, required grade, operating conditions and current equipment documentation before selecting a lubricant.

04

Generators and compressors

Confirm the component, required grade, operating conditions and current equipment documentation before selecting a lubricant.

Service challenges

Control the factors that shorten lubricant and equipment life.

Dust and water contamination

Use suitable products, clean handling, inspection and documented maintenance practice to reduce avoidable risk.

Shock loading and vibration

Use suitable products, clean handling, inspection and documented maintenance practice to reduce avoidable risk.

High ambient and component temperatures

Use suitable products, clean handling, inspection and documented maintenance practice to reduce avoidable risk.

Extended operating hours and remote servicing

Use suitable products, clean handling, inspection and documented maintenance practice to reduce avoidable risk.

Lubricant families

Connect every application to the right technical hub.

Selection workflow

A disciplined path from equipment requirement to product choice.

StepConfirmWhy it matters
1Equipment and componentDifferent systems require different lubricant types and performance levels.
2Required viscosity and equivalent specificationGrade and performance language must match the current technical requirement.
3Load, speed, temperature and contaminationOperating conditions influence oil life, grease interval and protection needs.
4Compatibility and changeover planMixing incompatible lubricants can reduce performance or create deposits.
5Current TDS and SDSProduct-specific documents support responsible selection, handling and storage.

Responsible product language

Equivalent performance is not formal approval.

LubeMax products do not currently carry API approval, licensing or certification. Where a product document references API, OEM or another industry specification, it describes equivalent performance to the stated requirement. All LubeMax products have SON approvals except where the current product TDS clearly states “Pending approval.”

Frequently asked questions

Construction lubrication questions.

Which lubricant should I use for my equipment?

Confirm the exact equipment, component, required viscosity, equivalent performance specification and operating conditions, then compare these with the current LubeMax TDS.

Can one product cover every machine in the operation?

Not automatically. Consolidation may be practical only after checking every equipment requirement, compatibility and duty condition.

Where can I request technical documents?

Use the LubeMax Technical Resources centre to request the current TDS, SDS and product-selection support.

How do I request supply or distributor information?

Send your territory, company profile, required products, pack sizes, quantities and delivery location through the relevant LubeMax contact route.
