Refuse vehicles
Liquid engineering to help extend both the life and capability of your waste collection and other vocational fleets
Across the U.S. we generate approximately 545 million tons of waste each year. The vehicles that help us remove that amount of refuse are the unsung heroes of the trucking world. Likewise, fleets operating under similar stop-and-go conditions and that idle frequently deserve the best support to help achieve optimal performance.
Because Castrol understands the challenges you face, we have developed lubricating solutions to help your operations run smoothly, whether you operate refuse trucks, buses, ready-mix trucks, or any other similar type of fleet.
Our diesel engine oils:
- Help extend oil drain intervals, which reduces both servicing costs and the time your trucks spend off the road*
- Help maintain the cleanliness of your engines
- Provide outstanding wear protection
- Protect against the higher running temperatures of natural gas engines
Our hydraulic fluids deliver:
- Increased fluid service life
- Durability in extreme operating environments
- Longer working life of components
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Contamination control
Our used oil analysis service, Castrol Labcheck Next Generation brings a new generation of service and technology to fluid analysis. This helps enhance the performance and extend the lifespan of critical machinery for many years. Monitoring lubricant conditions within the internal environment of machinery is the most cost-effective way to extend lubricant drain intervals, preventing catastrophic failure and increasing the lifespan of equipment.
After all, it makes sense to try to keep the oil in the equipment for as long as it is truly serviceable. In a refuse environment, changing oil can run the risk of introducing contaminants – particularly in hydraulic systems. The less frequently you need to change oil, the lower the risk and the lower the total cost of ownership not just in terms of oil used, but in increased uptime of your equipment.
