Yes. The modules build on each other. You can start by consolidating lubrication points via distributor blocks, later add a pump and controller, and grow into a connected system with the SKF eLube app later still. Euroquip typically suggests starting with the machine that has the highest downtime cost or the most operating hours.

Manual lubrication requires someone to climb onto and under a stationary machine, and in construction, falls account for a large share of serious workplace accidents. With a central system that action disappears: topping up happens at a single accessible reservoir.

SKF LGGB 2 is an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant and meets minimum requirements for biodegradability, toxicity, and bioaccumulation. For points where the grease will by definition end up in the environment, LGTE 2 is the right choice: Ecolabel-certified and categorised as a total loss lubricant.

That’s what it’s made for. A central system maintains a constant flow of grease that actively pushes dirt out, whereas manual lubrication can push dirt in along with the grease. For low temperatures we choose a grease with good pumpability, such as LGWM 2 or LGGB 2.

That differs greatly by manufacturer and configuration. SKF uses as a guideline 19 or more points on an excavator, 23 or more on a wheel loader, 17 or more on a mini excavator, 28 or more on a dumper, 33 or more on a bulldozer, and 45 or more on a mobile crane. We count

According to SKF, a system pays for itself in under four years, depending on labour costs in your region. In the calculation example for a wheel loader, the interval for pin and bushing replacement — worth €3,000 to €6,000 a year — moves out to three years or more, and lost profit from lubrication-related downtime

Yes. SKF Lincoln components are modular and are fitted as retrofits every day on machines of various brands and build years. Euroquip measures the lubrication points, determines the pipe routing, and carries out the installation to certified standards, usually during a scheduled service.
