Heavy Mobile Equipment Solutions
THE NEW STANDARD IN GREASE MANAGEMENT
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
ELIMINATING EXCAVATOR PIN & BUSH FAILURES
GreaseBoss’s Critical Point Monitoring system detected bypassing injectors and incorrect grease volumes, enabling early intervention and preventing costly failures up to $10 million AUD in downtime
- 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.
Case Study
Solving Haul Truck Kingpin Failures: $6.5M Annual Savings with GreaseBoss Monitoring
GreaseBoss’s monitoring system identified insufficient lubrication and systemic autolube configuration errors as root causes, saving our client around $6.5 million annually.
- Eliminate frequent and costly haul truck kingpin failures, saving $250k-$500k per event.
- Identify the root cause of lubrication issues, including insufficient grease delivery and faulty/mistuned injectors.
- Detect critical fleet-wide system configuration errors missed by standard checks.
- Achieve significant forecasted annual savings ($6.5 million) by preventing lubrication-related failures.
Case Study
HAUL TRUCK A-FRAME & Pump Monitoring
The customer experienced systemic A-frame bearing failures on their entire haul truck fleet. Without GreaseBoss, both trucks would have been operating with severe under greasing.
- Multiple major lubrication issues were identified on both haul trucks and reported to the maintenance team.
- GreaseBoss data showed 250+cc being dispensed each pump cycle – 5 times the expected amount.
- Detected incorrect pump timer setting.
- Highlighted erratic grease to the a-frame bearing.
Case Study
HAUL TRUCK – CAT 796AC KINGPINS
This pilot saved our client around $6,000,000 a year. The GreaseBoss system immediately identified severe under-greasing across all monitored injectors, allowing targeted maintenance and significantly improved truck performance.
- Immediate identification of injector issues – all four injectors were severely under-greasing these critical components.
- Reveal root cause of greasing issue – many injectors were mistuned.
- Detected autolubricator system failure – this finding triggered a full fleet refit.
Case Study
EXCAVATOR HOIST CYLINDER AND BUCKET PIN MONITORING – KOMATSU PC7000
By installing Endpoint MP2s, the GreaseBoss system immediately identified a critical issue with the lube system pump, preventing a catastrophic failure of over $10,000,000.
- Greaseboss data revealed critical issue with lube system pump indicating a pump failure
- Verification of grease flow volumes and pressure to h-link
- Immediately detected a critical pump issue – preventing catastrophic equipment failure
- Provided visibility and certainty to maintenance teams over grease volume application
Case Study
Glencore mangoola – SYSTEMISE MANUAL GREASING TO BOOST RELIABILITY
The Mangoola team use external contractors to perform manual lubrication tasks and needed visibility and assurance that the greasing was being completed as per the lubrication schedule. The site was successful in:
- Gaining visibility and control over manual lubrication for both conveyors and electric motors.
- Systemising the manual greasing tasks to enable a new contractor to be greasing effectively within 2 weeks of starting on site.
- Monitoring of single point lubricator application volumes on critical pumps.
