How the Bruder Lube Cube outperforms conventional field service units

In demanding environments like agriculture, construction, and mining, time is money - and reliability is everything. That’s why the Bruder Lube Cube field service unit is quickly becoming the go-to solution for professionals who need a faster, cleaner, and more efficient way to manage on-site lubrication.

Unlike traditional field service units, which rely on built-in tanks that require decanting, cleaning, and careful planning, the Bruder Lube Cube uses removable external oil drums - a simple, smart innovation that unlocks major advantages across performance, serviceability, and safety.

 

1. Rapid first deployment - No decanting required

Getting started with a conventional lube unit often means transferring oil from 205L drums or IBCs into the mobile tanks, introducing time, mess, and risk. The Lube Cube eliminates that step entirely.

With Bruder’s system, you simply:

  • Roll a 205L drum of new oil directly onto the unit.
  • Drop in the pump, strap it down, and you’re ready to go.

This not only speeds up first deployment significantly but also reduces spills and simplifies logistics.

 

2. Quick oil changes - Just swap the drum

When it’s time to switch to a new drum - or a completely different oil type - Bruder’s design shines.

Forget draining, flushing, and refilling fixed tanks. With the Lube Cube:

  • Just roll off the empty drum and roll on a full one.
  • Want to switch oils? Wipe down the pump, drop it into the new drum, and dispense ~2L to flush the lines.

That’s it. You’re back in action - no cross-contamination, no wasted time.

 

3. Digital metering for accuracy & accountability

Each Lube Cube is fitted with digital metered nozzles, giving you precise control over oil delivery. This:

  • Removes the guesswork from service jobs.
  • Simplifies invoicing with accurate data.
  • Offers a clear view of how much oil is left in each drum for easy restocking planning.

It’s a small touch with big value - especially for busy field technicians and hire fleet operators.

 

4. Fully air powered - No electricity required

Designed for remote work, every Lube Cube operates entirely on compressed air. That means:

  • No risk of electrical faults or failure.
  • Safer use in rugged, dusty, or wet environments.
  • Seamless compatibility with your existing air system or compressor.

 

5. Waste oil management made easy

When it’s time to recover used oil, the Lube Cube’s integrated diaphragm pump and hose reel make the job fast and tidy.

Simply:

  • Extract waste oil into the onboard waste tank on-site.
  • Back at the workshop, flip a valve and use the same hose reel to pump the waste oil out for disposal or recycling.

Less mess, less labour, less downtime.

Additionally, an option for the Lube Cube's waste oil system is a bypass valve that allows use of the Lube Cube pump and hose reel, while bypassing the onboard tank. For use in your workshop-based services, to eliminate double handling of waste fluids, you can suck directly from your drain pans into your site storage.

 

6. Built for efficiency, safety & fool resistance

The Lube Cube isn’t just smart - it’s engineered for the real world, where mistakes are costly.

  • Colour-coded and clearly labelled fittings help prevent cross-contamination.
  • Sealed drums minimise dust and water ingress.
  • Lighter overall weight and no need for internal tanks means easier transport and lower running costs.
  • Everything is designed for intuitive use - even by less experienced operators.

This makes it ideal for fleet operations, remote sites, hire fleets, and workshops who want a robust, low-risk solution.

 

7. Lower lifetime cost & higher flexibility

With no internal tanks to clean, fewer components to service, and a modular design that adapts to your needs, the Bruder Lube Cube delivers:

  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Reduced service times
  • Longer equipment life

All of which add up to a smarter investment over time.


8. More versatility - smaller footprint and better handling options

While the Lube Cube is engineered to fit nicely between the wheel arches in most utes available in Australia, it is a versatile solution for trailer- or tray-mounting. Forkliftable from all 4 sides adds functionality; with a pallet jack, the Lube Cube becomes a self-contained workshop lubrication system - just add air! No more oil reticulation pipework needed.

 

The bottom line

The Bruder Lube Cube is changing the way Australian professionals handle on-site lubrication. Whether you’re running a mobile mechanic service, managing a fleet, or operating heavy plant in remote areas, it gives you a faster, safer, and more flexible way to work.

Ditch the decanting. Embrace the drum.
