B Lube Pty Ltd

B Lube Pty Ltd is a Butler family business based in Braemar, NSW, that supplies, installs, services, and repairs automatic lubrication systems for heavy machinery. They fit their own ALPB and HY range alongside major brands like Beka, Groeneveld, Lincoln, SKF, and Sterk. The company has been operating for 30 years, focusing on trucks, trailers, excavators, and farm machinery across NSW.

The business operates a mobile service model, traveling to farms, forests, mines, depots, and job sites across NSW to fit and service systems on-site. They work Monday through Friday between 07:00 and 16:00, with Saturday and Sunday closed. Their workshop is located in Braemar, NSW, postcode 2575, where they build and bench-test their own pumps before installation.

To get started, customers can call (02) 4216 9920 or send a message to request a free, fixed quote. Every job is quoted specifically based on point count, pump size, and operating conditions, with no hourly surprises. A written price is provided before any work begins, ensuring transparency for new machines, older gear, or full fleet fit-outs.

B Lube services and repairs almost all major brands, including Beka, Groeneveld, Lincoln, SKF, and Sterk, in addition to their own ALPB, 2L, 4L, and 8L range. They prioritize genuine, original parts for repairs but will discuss replacement options if a part is no longer available. Their own systems are backed by the same family that supplied them, with repair kits and metering valves kept in stock on-site.

The installation process typically takes one day for single machines, with scheduling done around existing downtime, service windows, or wet days. Larger fleet rollouts are staged to ensure the rest of the fleet continues earning. The system is supplied, specced to the machine, plumbed to every point, and commissioned before being handed over.

The system uses whatever grease the machine's specification calls for, including EP2 where specified. B Lube ensures the reservoir is filled with the correct grease before commissioning, as running the wrong grease is a common fault found on systems fitted elsewhere. They match the grease to both the system and the machine to ensure consistent performance.

B Lube claims that hand-greasing costs hours the machine should be earning, and missed rounds lead to seized bearings and ovalled bushes. Their automatic systems deliver small, measured shots to every point while the machine works, preventing pins and bearings from failing due to dry running. This method aims to extend pin and bush service life by 30–50%.

The company states that their systems remove the need for operators to climb over running gear with a grease gun, keeping people out of the work area. Plumbed lines bring every point back to a pump checked at pre-start, reducing risk and improving safety. They also note that grease points often live in inconvenient places like under trailers or on top of booms.

B Lube highlights that their systems can add two to five extra years to machine life before worn pins need replacing. They report removing 30 minutes of daily manual greasing per machine, which translates to thousands of extra operating hours in heavy use. The goal is to ensure every grease point is covered every hour the machine works.

B Lube positions itself as different by offering their own range of ALPB, 2L, 4L, and 8L pumps that are built, bench-tested, and fitted by the same family. They emphasize that when a part is needed, it is on their shelf, and the person on the phone has fitted the exact system being called about. This contrasts with competitors who might rely on third-party parts or remote support.

The company targets trucks, trailers, excavators, wheel loaders, dump trucks, dozers, graders, scrapers, skid steers, crushers, screeners, sprayers, cotton pickers, tractors, harvesters, and fixed plant. They serve industries including mining, transport, earthmoving, construction, agriculture, and forestry. Their mobile service covers the entire state of NSW, from Sydney to Wollongong and the Southern Highlands.

B Lube operates with a team of three decades of experience led by Brian, with Stephen joining five years ago to continue the family trade. They describe themselves as a family-owned and run business that stopped waiting for others to do automatic lubrication properly in 2022. The team focuses on providing straight answers and fixed prices before work starts.

The business has been around for 30 years, with Brian bringing three decades of heavy machinery experience and Stephen adding five years. They launched their own range in 2022 to ensure proper automatic lubrication in NSW. The company fits its own ALPB and HY range alongside Beka, Groeneveld, Lincoln, SKF, and Sterk systems.

B Lube fits systems ranging from compact gear to 24/7 machines, with larger sizes like 2L, 4L, and 8L available on request. They supply, specced to the machine, plumbed to every point, and commissioned systems for new machines, older gear, and full fleet fit-outs. The service includes system installation, servicing & maintenance, and repairs for both their own and other brands.
