Equipment breakdown at a construction site can severely compromise your project schedule. In the construction industry, you are constantly striving to meet deadlines, lower operating costs and maximize equipment availability. Whether you need a reliable construction lubricant supply for remote projects or increased equipment availability, Shell Oil has a wide range of lubricants and services designed to meet your needs. These products can help you to reduce your process and equipment ownership costs by providing:
- enhanced protection
- extended oil and equipment life
- enhanced efficiency
Using the right lubricants can help to reduce costs by helping to:
- cut unplanned equipment downtime
- potentially lower maintenance costs

Construction equipment often needs to operate in remote off-highway locations with a range of climatic conditions, which can put additional demands on the construction lubricants. To respond to market needs, Shell is continually developing its products to help you reduce operating costs and keep your equipment working efficiently. Shell has long-standing relationships with many of the leading equipment manufacturers. Many of these companies deliver their equipment to their customers containing a Shell lubricant as an essential component of the machine.
