In the world of off-highway machines, one size does not fit all. The demand in the Off Highway Construction Equipment Lubricant Market varies significantly depending on equipment type: excavators, dozers, graders, scrapers, loaders—all have different duty profiles, load stresses and lubricant needs.

Excavators, for example, spend much of their time working under hydraulic boom stress, excavating material and operating in dusty or muddy environments. The lubricant must safeguard hydraulic systems, transmissions and final drives against contamination, high thermal loads and pressure. Dozers often push heavy loads and require durability in tracks, transmissions and undercarriage systems. Loaders and scrapers may demand robust gear oils and greases to handle frequent starts, heavy loads and abrasive materials.
