Relocatable 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.

Fully bunded with interlocking waste oil tanks for on-site safety.


Streamlined piping and layout reduce servicing time and downtime.


Built tough for industrial environments and repeated use.


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 Relocatable 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 Relocatable 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Built specifically for harsh mining conditions, a Mobile Lube Unit arrives on your site fully assembled and ready to work. It provides secure storage for multiple oils and grease, an integrated waste oil collection system, and hoses safely routed in protected gutters. Its core purpose is to keep your machinery running smoothly and eliminate the frustrating wait times associated with traditional lube setups.
Non-productive downtime quickly accumulates when heavy gear is parked waiting for oil, or when your crews waste time travelling back and forth to fixed lube stations. Because these units are mobile, you can position them exactly where your crews are working and easily relocate them as your active work front shifts. This keeps your servicing local and prevents crews from losing momentum while waiting on service trucks.
In mining, where downtime is measured in thousands of dollars per hour, any delay in servicing can quickly snowball into massive operational headaches. Every wasted minute translates directly to idle labour, unnecessary machine wear, safety risks, and budget blowouts. A fast, simple lubrication setup ensures your operations don’t crawl to a halt over basic maintenance.
Environmental standards and waste oil compliance are major concerns for modern site managers. To give you complete peace of mind, every Mobile Lube Unit is fully bunded with interlocking waste oil tanks and equipped with safety alarms. This heavy-duty design meets strict safety and environmental compliance standards, protecting your site from accidental spills.
Hoses failing when you need them most is a common site frustration. To solve this, our units are designed with hoses routed in protected gutters to shield them from impact and wear. Additionally, the streamlined piping and layout are specifically engineered to speed up servicing times and keep downtime to an absolute minimum.
Absolutely. These units are built exceptionally tough for harsh industrial environments and repeated transport. They offer reliable, long-term service and secure containment, ensuring your vital lubricants remain clean, safe, and ready to use in the most demanding climates.
Most unit builds are completed in approximately five weeks. This rapid manufacturing timeline means you can get your on-site servicing station deployed quickly, seamlessly integrating with your site routines without disrupting ongoing work.
To maximise your unit’s performance, it pays to prepare the site ground and access routes in advance to prevent delivery delays. You should also customize the setup to match the exact needs of your machinery fleet, schedule routine maintenance checks to keep the unit running perfectly, and track the downtime hours you save.
This depends on your specific schedule and operational needs. Deciding upfront whether leasing or purchasing fits your project length helps streamline your initial planning and ensures the unit aligns perfectly with your budget and timeline.
Ultimately, it delivers more uptime and significantly less stress for your leadership team. Every hour your machines are operating instead of waiting for service is an hour of profitable work returned to your project. It reduces downtime, climbs efficiency, and drives greater productivity in every single shift.
