Heavy Mobile Equipment Solutions

Boost asset availability by eliminating premature pin and bush failures on heavy mobile equipment. CAT identifies insufficient lubrication as the #1 cause of pin and bush failures. The GreaseBoss HME solutions ensure mobile equipment is greased correctly to prevent unplanned downtime and production losses.

Critical Point Monitoring

Heavy mobile equipment solutions

Verify automatic lubricators are delivering the correct volume.

Heavy mobile equipment experience extreme loading during operation and components can fail catastrophically after only a few hours of no grease.  

Automatic lubrication systems on heavy mobile equipment suffer harsh operating conditions and have regular failures of injectors, distributors and pumps. One failed injector can impact the entire lube system’s performance, without triggering traditional automatic lubrication system alarms. 

Our Critical Point Monitoring solution verifies the exact volume of grease delivered every pump cycle, and grease line pressure sensing can detect blown hoses in high impact zones. Powerful reporting provides insights into lube system health, and alerts maintenance teams as soon as grease delivery is out of specification. This enables maintenance teams to stop assets before critical components fail and to schedule targeted maintenance during maintenance windows.

Bulk Lubrication Management 

Baseline fleet grease consumption against industry standard

Are grease tanks running empty? 

How much grease does your fleet consume?   

What assets are the biggest grease consumers?   

How does your fleet compare to industry benchmarks? 

The Bulk Lubrication Management solution provides unparalleled data on the performance of your automatic lubrication systems, as a whole, and enables remote tank level monitoring to ensure your refilling regime is effective. The solution verifies the exact amount of grease pumped to pressurise the auto lube system and the amount of grease flowing back into the tank during venting. Powerful reporting provides insights into pump system health and automatic alerts ensure your maintenance team are notified of failed pumps, failed bypass valves, empty grease tanks and bypassing injectors.  

Fleetwide reports on grease consumption per asset highlight outliers that require attention and enable comparison against industry baselines. 

Case Study

Endpoint MP2 Pilot Saves >$10M: Early Fault Detection Prevents Major Mining Failures

This case study details a four-month pilot program where GreaseBoss tested its Endpoint MP2 device on mining excavators and ancillary equipment 1 .

  • Prevent major equipment failures and save over $10 million in downtime and repair costs.
  • Detect critical lube system faults, like pump electrical issues, significantly faster than OEM monitoring systems.
  • Identify hidden problems such as mistuned autolube systems leading to uneven greasing and incorrect timer settings causing over-greasing.
  • Gain system-wide insights by indirectly detecting failures (like bypassing injectors) on components not directly monitored.

Eliminating Costly Mining Sizer Bearing Failures with Precision Lubrication

  • Eliminate costly grease-related bearing failures and associated production losses.
  • Achieve exceptional ROI with $60m in forecasted annual savings from a $50k investment.
  • Ensure precise lubrication with real-time data comparing planned versus actual grease volumes.
  • Proactively detect equipment issues like failing autolube pumps before they cause major damage.  
Case Study

ELIMINATING EXCAVATOR PIN & BUSH FAILURES

A Tier 1 Australian coal mine was experiencing regular excavator pin and bush failures, costing up to $10 million AUD in downtime plus significant repair costs, due to a lack of visibility into actual grease application. GreaseBoss’s Critical Point Monitoring system provided this crucial data, quickly identifying issues like bypassing injectors and incorrect grease volumes, enabling early intervention.  

  • Prevent catastrophic excavator pin and bush failures and associated multi-million dollar downtime losses.  
  • Gain essential visibility into actual grease volumes delivered to critical excavator lubrication points.  
  • Identify lubrication system anomalies and injector faults far earlier than standard equipment monitoring allows.  
  • Reduce expensive repair costs and minimise equipment downtime through proactive, data-driven maintenance.
