Automatic lubrication for earthmoving and civil construction
Keep excavators, loaders, dozers, graders, dump trucks and compact plant consistently lubricated through demanding working conditions.
We match, install and calibrate Groeneveld-BEKA automatic lubrication systems for earthmoving contractors, civil construction companies and machinery fleets.

Where automatic lubrication can make a difference
Difficult or unsafe access
Some lubrication points require staff to climb onto machinery, work underneath equipment or reach around attachments.
Automatic lubrication can reduce the frequency of routine access to these areas while helping keep connected points consistently supplied.
Dust, mud, water & vibration
Earthmoving equipment regularly operates in abrasive and contaminated conditions.
Frequent, measured lubrication helps maintain fresh grease around connected pins, bushes and bearings, supporting protection in dusty, muddy and wet operating conditions.
Long shifts and changing operators
When machinery works long hours or moves between different operators, manual greasing can be delayed, shortened or missed.
An automatic system continues operating according to its calibrated greasing cycle while the machine is working.
Missed or inconsistent greasing
Too little grease can contribute to accelerated wear. Too much grease creates waste, mess and unnecessary housekeeping.
A correctly designed system supplies measured quantities based on the requirements of each connected component.
Recommended systems for earthmoving and civil construction
The most suitable system depends on the equipment, number and location of lubrication points, operating conditions and lubricant requirements.
Groeneveld Twin
Heavy-duty greasing for large earthmoving equipment
A dual-line automatic greasing system suited to excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, graders, articulated dump trucks and other large machines with numerous lubrication points or long grease lines.
Individual metering units allow different points to receive quantities selected for their lubrication requirements. Pressure monitoring helps confirm that the system is building pressure during each greasing cycle.
BEKA EP-1
Versatile greasing for earthmoving machinery and attachments
A progressive automatic lubrication system suited to medium-sized earthmoving machinery, compact plant, attachments and specialist equipment.
The EP-1 can be configured with different reservoir sizes, pumping elements and control options, allowing the system to be matched to the machine’s lubrication requirements and operating hours.
BEKA PICO
Compact lubrication for smaller machinery
A compact automatic lubrication pump suited to mini excavators, skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders and other equipment where installation space is limited.
Depending on the configuration, the PICO can operate as a progressive system or supply individual lines directly from the pump. This makes it suitable for compact machines with a smaller number of lubrication points or mixed lubrication requirements.
Our process in four easy steps
1
Assess
We review the machine, lubrication points, attachments, operating conditions and current maintenance routine.
We also identify any points that may remain manually lubricated and note any access or mounting considerations before the system is designed.
2
Match
We select the most suitable pump, distribution method, reservoir size, monitoring options and hose layout for the machine.
Where we have already completed similar installations, we can use a proven setup as the starting point and adapt it to suit the application.
3
Install
Our technicians install the system on site or in the workshop, depending on the machine and the job requirements.
We route and protect hoses and components to suit demanding earthmoving and civil operating conditions.
4
Calibrate
We set the grease quantities and operating intervals, test the system and confirm that each connected point is receiving lubricant.
After commissioning, we can provide servicing, genuine parts and ongoing technical support.
FAQ
Our company specializes in consulting, product development, and customer support. We tailor our services to fit the unique needs of businesses across various sectors, helping them grow and succeed in a competitive market.
Yes. Automatic lubrication can be retrofitted to many excavators, loaders, dozers, graders, dump trucks, compact machines and specialist civil equipment.
We assess the machine, lubrication points, attachments, mounting space and operating conditions before recommending the most suitable system.
The best system depends on the machine size, number of lubrication points, grease-line lengths, available mounting space and working conditions.
The Groeneveld Twin is generally suited to large, heavily used machinery. The BEKA EP-1 suits a broad range of medium-sized equipment, while the compact BEKA PICO is often suitable for smaller machines or installations with limited space.
In some cases, yes. Suitable lubrication points on permanently fitted attachments may be connected as part of the main system.
Quick-coupled or frequently changed attachments may require a separate arrangement or may remain manually lubricated. We confirm this during the assessment.
Yes. The system is designed so components can receive quantities selected for their lubrication requirements.
This is important because a large pivot or heavily loaded pin may need more grease than a smaller bearing or linkage point.
The pump, distribution components and grease lines are positioned and protected for the machine’s operating environment.
Regular, measured lubrication can also help maintain fresh grease around connected pins and bushes. The system should still be inspected regularly, and high-pressure wash water should not be directed straight at the pump or venting areas.
Installation time depends on the machine, number of connected points and complexity of the hose layout.
Many installations take approximately one to three working day. We confirm the expected timeframe before scheduling the work.
Cost depends on the machine, selected pump, reservoir size, number of lubrication points, monitoring requirements and installation complexity.
Send us the machine make, model, location and photos, and we can recommend a suitable system and prepare a quote.
A correctly designed and calibrated system supplies measured amounts at regular intervals, which can help reduce unnecessary overgreasing, grease build-up and wasted lubricant.
The system still needs routine checks to confirm the pump, lines and connected points are operating correctly.
