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.
Proven in the Toughest Conditions.
Trusted by the Best.

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:
Case Study
EXCAVATOR BOOM FOOT & HOIST CYLINDER MONITORING -LIEBHERR 9600
The GreaseBoss monitoring system led to the detection of a bypassing injector on the swing box and an incorrect pump timer setting, resulting in estimated cost savings of $70,000 per year and prevented a potential swing box failure.
Ability to detect bypassing injectors & incorrect pump timer setting
Certainty over grease application volumes to critical points
Cost effective critical point and lube system health monitoring
Visibility and control over grease consumption
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. This installation has successfully ensured proper lubrication and provided visibility to maintenance teams over the automatic lubricator system.

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. $250k Cost per kingpin component failure 2 / month failure frequency across the fleet 4/4 injectors were found undergreased $6m/year estimated savings across the fleet The Challenge […]
Case Study
INCREASING HAUL TRUCK AVAILABILITY ACROSS A TIER 1 MINING HAUL TRUCK FLEET
GreaseBoss Critical Point Monitoring detected that 35 of 40 haul trucks were consistently under-greased, verifying grease delivery at every pump cycle. Within six months the system caught seven A-Frame bearing faults before failure, saving the operation ≈$1.7M in labour and repair costs. Key highlights from the case study: 35/40 Trucks consistently undergreased ≈130 hrs Downtime […]
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. 2 Haul trucks monitored: CAT 793 & CAT 789 5x System flagged 5x grease volume delivered per cycle vs site spec 250 hrs prevented 250 hrs of operation with no […]
