The success of your construction business depends on your ability to ensure equipment runs efficiently and reliably.

Whether your construction project involves earthmoving, transporting loads, levelling, compacting or digging, your business relies on your equipment and their lubricated components. Equipment breakdowns can severely compromise your project schedules and prevent your company from earning revenue.

We appreciate that, in the construction industry, you are constantly striving to meet deadlines and lower operating costs. Yet nearly half (43%) of construction companies say they often experience breakdowns because of ineffective lubrication – and 72% say their maintenance teams need more training*.

Construction equipment must be tough and operate in a range of harsh environments. So it’s important to use the right combination of lubricants to get the most out of your engines, transmissions, hydraulic systems and greased components.

By using the right combination of lubricants together, you can improve vehicle and equipment productivity. Lubricant costs can be as little as 1-2% of total maintenance costs, yet optimising lubricant use across all operations can save 30% of operating costs.*
