This 4-In-1 Lube Cart Does It All
 ✖  |
"One thing led to another when we were building this rig, and pretty soon it was doing the 4 things that large farm operations need just about every day," says Sean Lintz of Basic Industries in Pixley, Calif. The Basic Lube Cart has a 550-gal. double-wall fuel tank, a 40-gal. clean oil tank, a 40-gal. spent oil tank, a 5-gal. grease pail with a 50:1 pump, and a 5.5 hp Jenny air compressor.
Lintz powers the rig with a 5 hp Honda engine. It drives a pneumatic pump to deliver fuel, oil, grease and recover spent oil. Four hose reels mount on back of the rig next to a simple valve system so the operator can quickly select the line he needs.
The fuel hose is 3/4 in. by 3 ft., the air hose 3/8 in. by 50 ft., the grease line 1/4 in. by 50 ft. and both oil hoses are 1/2 in. by 50 ft. The fuel and oil lines are metered. "We put all of the lines in one convenient place and made all of them fully retractable so the operator never has to worry about getting them tangled up or rewinding them by hand," says Lintz.
The lube cart mounts on a custom-built 10,000-lb. DOT certified tandem wheel trailer.
Basic Industries is a family owned company that's been a supplier of specialized equipment for dairymen, farmers and industrial businesses in California's San Joaquin Valley since 1976. The company has other unique lubrication equipment such as a free standing Basic Lube Rack, a pallet-mounted Basic Lube Skid and a self-propelled three-wheel lubrication cart called The Yard Dog.
Basic also builds a large custom-made water tank and pump system called The Basic Jetter for cleaning milking parlor pipelines; and five sizes of The Water Dog, a liquid tender that mounts on trucks or trailers.
