Mobile Lube Unit

Keep your gear running, cut the waiting around

On a mine site, rapid deployment isn’t just about buildings — it’s about keeping your machines moving. Non-productive downtime creeps in when gear is parked waiting for oil, crews are running back and forth to fixed lube points, or hoses fail when you need them most.

Every wasted minute costs you money in idle labour, unnecessary machine wear, safety risks, and budget blowouts. The frustration is real when operations crawl to a halt because something as basic as lubrication hasn’t been sorted.

You already know the reality: machines don’t make money when they’re sitting idle.   

Crews lose momentum when they’re waiting on service trucks, and you’re left juggling whether to lease or buy a lube unit while also worrying about compliance for waste oil and environmental standards.   

In mining, where downtime is measured in thousands of dollars per hour, delays in servicing quickly snowball into bigger problems.  

What you need is a system that’s simple, safe, and fast — one you can trust to keep lubrication under control.

That’s where Mobile Lube Units from Relocatables Australia make the difference. Built specifically for mining conditions, these units arrive onsite ready to work.   

Each one provides secure storage for multiple oils and grease, integrated waste oil collection, and hoses routed in protected gutters to prevent damage.  

Every unit is fully bunded and fitted with alarms to meet both safety and environmental compliance standards.

Because they’re mobile, you can position them exactly where your crews need them — and relocate them easily if the job shifts.

Most builds are completed in around five weeks, meaning you can get servicing set up fast without disrupting operations.  

To get the most out of them: plan where the unit will sit on site, prep the ground and access routes, decide upfront whether leasing or purchasing fits your project length, and schedule routine checks so the unit keeps running smoothly.

Getting the most from your lube unit

To maximise the value of a portable lube unit, plan ahead. Decide early where the unit will sit on site and prepare the ground and access routes to avoid delays.

Consider whether leasing or purchasing fits your project length, and customise the setup so it matches the needs of your machines and crews. Once the unit is in place, schedule routine checks to keep it running smoothly and track the downtime you save.

More uptime, less stress

A mobile lube unit is about more than servicing — it’s about protecting productivity. Every hour your machines are running instead of waiting for lubrication is an hour of work delivered back to your project.

Define your requirements upfront, lock in your unit, and watch as downtime drops and efficiency climbs. For mine sites across Australia, the result is simple: less stress for you, and more productivity in every shift.
