Lubricants for construction and excavation contractors
I supply heavy-duty engine oils, hydraulic oils, TO-4 drivetrain fluids, greases, coolants and DEF to excavation, site-work, paving and heavy-civil contractors across Central and Northwest PA, including Centre, Clearfield, Mercer, Erie and Lawrence counties. I help contractors cut breakdowns, consolidate products and handle Pennsylvania winters.
What contractors ask me about
- Pins and bushings wearing out: usually a greasing interval or grease-type problem. Moly greases and a consistent daily routine help.
- Hydraulic hoses and pumps failing: often caused by dirt that gets in during top-offs on site. Sealed transfer containers and filtered fills help.
- Too many oils in the shop: one engine oil across most of the fleet is often possible.
- Cold starts and gelled DEF: see cold-weather oil and grease and DEF in winter.
Mixed fleets
Most contractors run a mix of CAT, Deere, Komatsu, Volvo, Kubota and on-road trucks. I match products to each OEM's spec and try to cover the fleet with as few products as possible.
Dusty sites and quarries
On haul roads and in quarries, dirt is the enemy. Oil analysis that tracks silicon catches air intake leaks and seal failures before they wipe out an engine or a pump.
