Oil Storage & Transfer Containers

For reliability best practices, oil storage and transfer containers are essential

Stop the insanity. Why leave your lubricants that you depend on to lubricate your machines open to dirt and moisture? It’s time to get rid of the old oil can with rag. The oil can method allows water, dirt and other particulates to contaminate your expensive lubricants. Whatever ends up in the oil, ends up in your equipment. The smallest particulates, especially the ones we do not see, can cause asset components to fail prematurely.

Another problem with oil transfer and oil storage methods is incorrect lubricant usage or lubricant cross contamination. Ever had an operator pick up an unmarked container and use the wrong lubricant on a piece of equipment? This can have a very negative effect on asset protection.

Sealable, reusable oil storage containers are the solution to prevent contamination. They make lubricant storage and handling easy, efficient and clean. Best practice recommendations also include integrating a color-coding system that includes properly labeled containers to prevent misapplication and cross contamination. Oil Safe® oil storage containers can provide instant impact on your lubricant reliability efforts. Lubrication Engineers is an authorized distributor of Oil Safe®, the oil transfer management system preferred by leading companies around the world.

Oil storage and transfer container lids

Stumpy Spout Lid

• Specially designed for applications in which a higher lubricant flow is required, the Stumpy Spout Lid is a wide spout model with a 1-inch opening. It can be used with a stumpy extension hose to extend spout reach if needed.

• Stretch Spout Lid Designed for use where precise pouring of lubricants is required, including hard-to-reach areas, the Stretch Spout Lid has a ½-inch spout opening and longer spout, making it is ideal for lower viscosity oil (<ISO 220).

• Mini Spout LidWith is outlet diameter of approximately ¼ inch (7mm), the Mini Spout Lid is ideal for applying lubricant where equipment filler holes are small.

• Utility LidA multipurpose lid with 2-inch outlet hole, the Utility Lid ensures controlled fast pouring of lubricants. Match it to a 3-, 5-, or 10-liter/quart drum for use with a Premium or Standard Pump.

Oil storage and transfer container drum bodies

Available in five different sizes, Oil Safe® oil storage container bodies are fully interchangeable with all of the Oil Safe® lids. The polyethylene plastic drum bodies are rugged and have an extra wide neck opening for rapid pouring and easy cleaning. They are transparent and have graduated markings to make it easy to see and measure liquid levels.

• 1.5-liter/quart drum body
• 2-liter/quart drum body
• 3-liter/quart drum body
• 5-liter/quart drum body
• 10-liter/quart drum body

Hand pumps for oil storage and transfer containers

Add a convenient hand pump to discharge lubricants quickly and easily with less mess and less chance of spilling. The two Oil Safe® hand pumps work only with the Utility Lid and the 3-, 5- or 10-liter/quart drum bodies. Both come with a 5-foot-long hose with anti-drip nozzle, excellent for lubricating hard-to-reach fill points.
