Automatic lubrication for mining machinery and mine-site equipment
Keep excavators, loaders, dozers, haul trucks, drills, processing plant and support equipment consistently lubricated through long shifts and demanding operating conditions.
We match, install and calibrate Groeneveld-BEKA automatic lubrication systems for mining operations, contractors and heavy-equipment fleets.
Equipment we keep lubricated
Automatic lubrication can be fitted to an individual machine, selected plant or a wider mine-site fleet.
Excavation, loading and ground-engaging machinery

- Scrapers
- Rock breakers and attachments
Haulage and mine-site support equipment
- Rigid and articulated dump trucks
- Water carts
- Service and maintenance trucks
- Fuel and lubrication vehicles
- Transport units and trailers
- Other mine-site support vehicles
Drilling, processing and fixed plant
- Drill rigs
- Crushers and screens
- Conveyors and transfer points
- Feeders
- Pumps and fans
- Bearings and drives on suitable fixed plant
Where automatic lubrication can make a difference
Mining machinery operates under heavy loads, long hours and conditions where missed lubrication can quickly become expensive.
Difficult or unsafe access
Grease points may be located around large components, articulation areas, elevated positions or other difficult-to-access locations.
Connecting suitable points to an automatic system reduces how often personnel need to enter these areas for routine greasing.
Dust, mud, water and vibration
Mining equipment is exposed to contamination, changing weather and constant vibration.
Regular lubrication helps maintain fresh grease around pins, bushes and bearings rather than relying on occasional large applications.
Long shifts and high machine utilisation
Production machinery may work for extended periods with limited opportunities for manual greasing.
Automatic lubrication delivers small, regular quantities while the machine is operating, reducing the need to stop solely for routine greasing.
Missed or inconsistent greasing
Manual greasing can vary between operators, shifts and maintenance schedules.
A correctly calibrated system follows a set cycle and delivers quantities selected for the lubrication requirements of each connected point.

Our process in four easy steps
1
Assess
We review the machine or plant, lubrication points, operating hours, working conditions and current maintenance process.
We also identify any points that will remain manually lubricated.
2
Match
We match the pump, reservoir, distribution method, monitoring options and hose layout for the application.
The system is designed around the equipment, workload and mine-site conditions.
3
Install
Our technicians install the system on site or in the workshop.
Installation can be coordinated around machine availability, maintenance work or a planned shutdown.
4
Calibrate
We set the grease quantities and operating intervals, test the system and confirm grease delivery to each connected point.
After commissioning, LSL can provide servicing, genuine parts and 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.
The cost depends on the machine, number of lubrication points, hose lengths, reservoir size, monitoring requirements and installation access.
We assess the equipment before recommending a system and providing a detailed quote.
The Groeneveld Twin is commonly selected for large mining equipment with numerous lubrication points or long grease lines.
The BEKA EP-1 is a versatile option for machinery of different sizes and selected fixed plant, while Groeneveld SingleLine is generally suited to trucks, trailers and support vehicles.
Yes. Automatic lubrication systems can be installed on new or existing excavators, loaders, dozers, haul trucks, drill rigs and mine-site vehicles.
We inspect the equipment first to confirm the lubrication points, mounting locations and hose routing.
Installation time depends on the machine and the number of lubrication points.
Most mobile-equipment installations can be completed on site from one-three days. Larger machines and fixed plant may require additional time or coordination with a planned shutdown.
Monitoring depends on the system selected.
Options can include pressure monitoring, low grease-level warnings, fault alarms and an in-cab display. The Groeneveld Twin can monitor system pressure and provide low-level and fault indications.
The correct grease depends on the pump, operating temperature and application.
Depending on the system selected, options include NLGI 000, NLGI 00, NLGI 0, NLGI 1 and NLGI 2 grease. LSL confirms the suitable grease grade when designing and commissioning the system.
Yes. We have Groeneveld-BEKA systems operating on machinery in demanding conditions, including dust, mud, vibration and long working hours throughout New Zealand. The Groeneveld Twin is the most common and reliable world-wide in the mining industry.
The system must still be correctly designed, protected and serviced for the application.
Yes. The reservoir must be refilled, hoses and fittings should be inspected, and system operation should be checked during routine servicing.
LSL can provide scheduled servicing, replacement parts and technical support after installation. Set up maintence checks
