Industry Challenges and Our Solutions
Challenges Facing the Construction Sector
The construction sector faces mounting pressure to maximise efficiency and minimise costs. However, the critical role of lubricants in achieving these goals is often underestimated. Studies indicate that a significant percentage of companies do not recognise the potential of premium lubricants to decrease unplanned downtime and maintenance expenses.
Construction machinery operates under harsh conditions, necessitating lubricants that meet OEM (original equipment manufacturer) specifications, and consider factors such as equipment design and environmental conditions. Key application areas include engines, hydraulic systems, and transmissions.
Our solutions encompass:
- Comprehensive Lubricant Portfolio: We offer a range of products meeting OEM specifications for manufacturers like Caterpillar, JCB and Volvo.
- Biodegradable Lubricants: Partnering with Shell PANOLIN, we provide environmentally acceptable lubricants (EAL’s), that offer corrosion protection, extended equipment lifespan, and enhanced reliability.
- Advanced Hydraulic Fluids: Shell Tellus S4 VE hydraulic fluid, utilising gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology, delivers up to a 6% improvement in productivity and reduces energy losses from hydraulic pumps by up to 21%.
