Sage Oil Vac has redesigned its class 5, 7, and 8 lube trucks
Texas-based Sage Oil Vac has redesigned its lineup of lube trucks.
The new class 5, 7, and 8 trucks “not only help operators work more efficiently, but add tools that help them better meet the needs of those operating the machinery they’re servicing,” says a recent posting on the company’s website.
The class 5 lube truck, for example, doesn’t require the operator to have a commercial driver’s licence.
“It’s harder to find CDL drivers, so a lot of companies — especially in the oil fields in West Texas — are looking for non-CDL applications,” company president Aaron Sage says in the article. “So, if you’re looking for a lube-only truck, these Class 5 trucks can help meet the same need without that licence.”
The class 5 lube trucks are built on a Ford F-550 or Ram 5500 chassis, notes Sage, whose company is based in Amarillo, Texas.
“A lot of the big OEM dealers are using these trucks for oil, but not fuel, to conduct maintenance for rental fleet customers,” Sage says.
The new lube trucks also better manages weight over the axles, by integrating more aluminum into the chassis and components, and shifting the location of certain parts and components.
Meanwhile, a touchscreen monitor enables the operator to track the distribution of fluids and fuels to each machine on a jobsite, “eliminating a step in the process and adding efficiency,” the article notes.
