Lubricants for Construction
How construction can keep up with the demands of tomorrow A construction site can be an unforgiving place for you and your equipment. The dust, the dirt, the deadlines. It all adds unnecessary pressure to systems that need protection to perform. Though new technologies can help empower the industry to meet these demands, emerging construction innovation must be underpinned with the correct foundations to maximise business output and minimise environmental impact. That’s why getting the most out of equipment ranks so highly on the to-do lists of construction and equipment hire firms across Europe.

40% of companies surveyed often experienced breakdowns because of ineffective lubrication.1
Drive performance through maintenance
Selecting the right lubricant is only the first step on the path to avoiding equipment downtime and the knock-on effects of missed deadlines (and possibly reputational damage). To make sure that advanced equipment operates at optimum levels, you need engineers and maintenance staff with the knowledge and tools to apply the latest technologies in lubrication and equipment maintenance.
- Train staff on lubrication best practices,
- Choose the exact right lubricant for each application
- Keep your lubrication systems, and the machines they protect, in peak condition.
This then helps you to drive performance and efficiency, improving your total cost of ownership (TCO). In fact, we’ve found that customers around the world who invest in lubricants and lubricant-related services can save anything from a few thousands to many millions per year.

How to keep projects on time
Unplanned construction equipment downtime can destroy all hopes of meeting deadlines. Here are four ways to avoid this and keep your operations on track:

Introduce predictive maintenance
The biggest issue with equipment damage is that it often goes unnoticed until it’s too late to avoid a breakdown.
So, what if you could foresee issues before they emerged? With predictive maintenance practices – such as oil condition monitoring – you can. By identifying potential issues before they escalate, you can reduce the likelihood of failures, preventing unplanned downtime and reducing costs in the process
