Mobile Machinery

DropsA North America has proudly served manufacturers in the United States for over 30 years. We’re excited to announce our new mobile lubrication systems division: DropsaVET.

Lubrication is key for mobile machinery to prevent premature wear, overheating, contamination, and corrosion. The challenge is that mobile equipment is exposed to different types of environments, undergoes extensive vibration and shock loading, and has variable operating conditions. DropsA understands these unique challenges, and that’s why we put together the world’s best team of mobile lubrication experts who can not only help you find the best lubrication solution but also provide installation assistance and ongoing technical support as needed.

Common Applications

Mobile machinery for the agricultural industry

Agricultural & Forestry

Tractors, balers, harvesters, plows, spreaders, feller-bunchers, and mulchers are just a small sample of the equipment required by the agricultural and forestry sectors. These industries rely on proper lubrication of integrated assemblies, including engines, chains, gears, and steering components, to ensure equipment efficiency and uninterrupted operation.

Loader construction machinery

Earth Moving & Construction

Commercial and residential construction companies rely on their equipment, including excavators, bulldozers, and graders, to perform optimally in harsh environments and under extreme loads. The right lubrication solution will ensure equipment can operate as needed and drastically reduce the risk of equipment failure.

Semi-truck on a highway

Transport & Logistics

Conveyors, pallet handlers, forklifts, and semi-trucks all require proper maintenance, including lubrication. Failure to lubricate brake assemblies, undercarriage components, suspension systems, and other critical parts won’t just result in expensive downtime—it will also cause unnecessary safety risks for equipment operators and truck drivers.

Container terminal at a shipping port

Port Equipment

The challenge of all marine applications is their highly corrosive environments. Port equipment needs to be kept properly lubricated to prevent damage caused by salt spray, humidity, and other environmental conditions that can accelerate component degradation, resulting in departure delays, disrupted schedules, and heavy fines.

Recycling machinery

Recycling & Material Handling

Lubrication ensures shredders, compactors, conveyors, and heavy industrial presses experience minimal downtime, stay protected from extremely abrasive materials and corrosion, and perform well, even when experiencing severe shock loads.

Repair and maintenance of aircraft engine on the wing of the aircraft.

Aviation

Proper lubrication in aviation isn’t just about performance but also about ensuring public safety. Equipment failure isn’t an option in aviation—aircraft system failures can result in loss of life. Every lubricated component, from engines to flight control actuators, must function reliably.

Offshore cranes

Offshore

Lubrication is essential to reducing friction among adjacent components and parts while protecting the equipment from the corrosive effects of extremely harsh saltwater conditions. Lubrication is simply the means of preventing equipment failures, which, in offshore applications, can become major life-threatening crises.

Mining construction machinery

Mining

Mining uses some of the largest mobile equipment on Earth, and this equipment is expected to handle 400-ton payloads, which can create enormous stresses on internal components. Proper lubrication ensures above-ground mining equipment like bulldozers, bucket wheel excavators, and crushers perform optimally, helping mines maximize throughput and minimize downtime.

Wind turbines

Wind Energy

Equipment failures in the wind energy sector are inconvenient, expensive, and challenging to overcome, so preventative maintenance, including lubrication, is essential. Automated lubrication systems also help ensure safety for maintenance technicians as modern wind turbines can tower up to 400 feet above ground.
