New Waste Oil System: Custom-Built Efficiency
Fleet service operations demand waste oil systems engineered for efficiency rather than adapted from generic components. This custom waste oil system demonstrates how purpose-built integration transforms routine oil changes into streamlined operations that minimize truck repositioning and maximize technician productivity.
Built for Toromont Cat’s service fleet requirements, this system delivers the reach, visibility, and operational control needed for high-volume fluid service work.
Laser-Welded Aluminum Tank
The custom-sized aluminum tank integrates directly into the 11 Series galley configuration without wasting cabinet space or compromising structural access. Laser-welded construction creates leak-proof seams that handle the thermal cycling and vibration inherent in mobile service applications.
The XL sight glass provides immediate fluid level visibility without requiring technicians to open compartments or interrupt workflow. Quick visual confirmation prevents overfilling and eliminates guesswork during fluid transfer operations.
Extended Reach Capability
The 50-foot hose reel mounted at the tank base extends operational range across service bays and equipment yards. Technicians perform oil changes and fluid evacuation without constantly repositioning the truck, reducing setup time and improving job site efficiency.
This extended reach proves particularly valuable in fleet operations where multiple pieces of equipment require servicing in fixed positions or when working around obstacles that prevent direct truck access.
Samoa 4-Way Directional Control
The directional control valve allows technicians to use one pump for both filling and evacuating operations. This dual-function design reduces the hardware mounted in limited cabinet space while simplifying the operational process.
Instead of managing separate fill and evacuation systems, technicians switch valve positions to reverse flow direction. Fewer components mean reduced maintenance requirements and fewer potential failure points in daily service operations.
Air-Operated Evacuation Pump
The Alemite 8595-B double-diaphragm pump provides consistent evacuation performance without requiring dedicated electrical circuits or hydraulic connections. Air-operated design suits the variable-duty cycles typical of fleet service work, delivering reliable flow when needed without the heat buildup or maintenance concerns associated with continuously-running electric pumps.
Double-diaphragm construction handles contaminated fluids and maintains evacuation performance across temperature ranges encountered in field service conditions.
Maximized Cabinet Integration
Every component in this system was selected and positioned to optimize the available cabinet geometry in the 11 Series body. The tank size, pump mounting location, and hose reel placement work together to preserve cabinet access while delivering professional fluid handling capability.
This integration approach eliminates the compromised installations that occur when off-the-shelf systems are forced into service body configurations they weren’t designed for.
