Hey everyone,
My company took away our lube truck and shipped it to another branch out of state back in April, they haven't used it since and we have been dying without it. They won't pay to ship it back to us and won't buy a lube truck.
I was wondering if anyone has used a lube skid. It looks basically like a platform with some small tanks on it for new and waste oils and all you do is connect air pressure to it. It seems like a good idea for med sized equipment and since we don't have bulk tanks in our shop we could also move it easily around our shop for services. I mostly wondering if there is anyone brand that we should stray away from or if you've found it's just a total waste of money and a lube truck makes more sense. Keep in kind we only do a max of 8-10 services per month though.
The problem I already know we will run into is that our trucks are heavy as is and those will put us overweight. My truck is a 26,000 gvw and sits at 25,000 in its normal state. With our higher ups we need to cross one bridge at a time though, I've been asking for 35K GVW trucks for a while now.
