Sage Oil Vac has launched a new service lube van segment for the mobile lube equipment niche for crews who need a compact solution for year-round preventive maintenance.
The LV230 service lube van holds 60 gallons (227.13 L) of fresh oil and 50 gallons (189.27 L) of used oil, while the larger LV430 service lube van provides a capacity for 90 gallons (340.68 L) of fresh oil, 30 gallons (113.56 L) of new coolant, and 60 gallons (227.13 L) of used oil.
Both of these vans have been designed to navigate within tight job sites and in urban environments.
“We’re consistently looking at what we can do to solve our customers’ challenges on the job,” explained Aaron Sage, the Chief Executive Officer of Sage Oil Vac. “Our service lube van lineup is designed to give crews faster, safer, and cleaner oil changes while prioritizing a compact footprint that maximizes cost and fuel efficiency.”
Sage Oil Vac knows there’s tough competition for CDL-certified drivers and that options with lower gross vehicle weight ratings can widen the labor pool for companies looking for technicians.
As such, earlier in 2024, Sage Oil Vac rolled out a non-CDL enclosed lube truck (see www.servicetruckmagazine.com/news/sage-oil-vac-adds-heaters-for-all-weather-lube-truck-service/).
The service lube van lineup is an extension of that effort, giving crews another option for a non-CDL maintenance vehicle. Sage Oil Vac service lube vans also offer a lower upfront investment and potential fuel savings when compared to larger dedicated lube trucks.
Service lube vans are advantageous for maintenance technicians who work in colder climates. The enclosed van keeps fluids warm when temperatures fall, minimizing oil viscosity to ensure hassle-free transfer. The van also functions as a dry storage space for crews, allowing them to pack everything they need for each job.
The LV230 service lube van includes 303 cubic feet (8.58 m³) of storage, while the LV430 has 349 cubic feet (9.88 m³). Both have Ranger Design shelving for a durable storage and organization solution. And technicians can access everything they need via the van’s side door, simplifying the maintenance process.
“These service lube vans really are a versatile, ready-to-use option for mobile maintenance. They come ready to work, just like the technicians using them,” advised Sage.
Sage Oil Vac service lube vans are built with the company’s exclusive pump-free technology to transfer maintenance fluids to and from equipment. This setup moves oil and other fluids faster than conventional pump-based systems, while the enclosed tank design prevents spills on the job.
Each lube van also comes standard with two other Sage Oil Vac innovations: a Filter Stinger for cleaner filter removal from equipment and a leakproof Used Filter Receptacle to catch used oil that may drain from discarded filters.
For over 30 years, Sage Oil Vac has worked to create professional lube equipment, which provides customers with the capability to economically manage new and used fluids on the job site.
