High-performance lubricants for the construction industry from ADDINOL

Lubricants in the construction industry reduce friction, wear and corrosion in construction machinery. They ensure that moving parts such as bearings, joints, hydraulic systems and gearboxes function reliably. High-quality lubricants extend the service life of machinery, minimise downtime and reduce maintenance costs on site.

The construction industry mainly uses greases, lubricating oils and special lubricants. These include engine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils, multi-purpose greases and high-performance greases designed for extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

The right lubricant for construction machinery depends on the type of machine, operating conditions and the manufacturer’s specifications. Key factors include viscosity, temperature range, pressure load and environmental factors. OEM approvals and standards such as DIN or ISO are decisive.

High-pressure greases (EP greases) and high-performance hydraulic oils are used in heavy construction machinery such as excavators, wheel loaders and cranes. These lubricants are specially designed to withstand high loads, shock loads and vibrations.

Using the wrong lubricant can lead to increased wear, overheating, corrosion or machine breakdowns. In the worst case, the manufacturer’s warranty may be voided. Therefore, only approved lubricants should be used. ADDINOL lubricants meet numerous OEM approvals.

Water-resistant, temperature-stable and high-adhesion lubricants are ideal for extreme construction site conditions such as dust, water, mud or heat. Special construction site lubricants provide reliable protection even under adverse environmental conditions.

Yes, there are biodegradable lubricants available for the construction industry. These environmentally friendly lubricants are frequently used in sensitive areas such as hydraulic engineering, landscaping and nature reserves, and comply with statutory environmental regulations. ADDINOL has developed the high-performance NatureProof range for this purpose.

High-quality lubricants reduce friction and wear, extend maintenance intervals and prevent unplanned breakdowns. This can significantly reduce maintenance and repair costs in the construction industry.
