Lubricants should be stored in clean, clearly labelled containers and protected from dirt, moisture and other contaminants. Using dedicated lubricant storage and transfer equipment also helps reduce spills, waste and the risk of mixing different oils.

Products such as our own-brand Lube Station and iCan Fluid Transfer System are designed to make lubricant storage, identification and dispensing safer and more organised.

The best way to reduce cross-contamination is to use dedicated, clearly identified containers for each lubricant. Colour-coded lids and labels can make oils easier to distinguish, while sealed transfer containers help prevent dirt and moisture from entering the lubricant.

The iCan Fluid Transfer System has been designed specifically to support cleaner, more controlled lubricant handling.

The iCan Fluid Transfer System is a range of reusable containers, lids and accessories designed for the safe storage and transfer of lubricants. Different container sizes and colour-coded lids can be combined to suit your requirements, helping you identify lubricants quickly, control dispensing and reduce spills or contamination.

The best size depends on how much lubricant you need to carry and where it will be used. A 2-litre container is ideal for smaller quantities and regular top-ups, while 5-litre containers offer a good balance between capacity and portability. For larger maintenance tasks or higher lubricant usage, a 10-litre container may be more suitable.

Your choice will depend on the lubricant, required flow rate and the equipment you are filling. A smaller 6mm spout provides greater control for precise applications, while 12mm is suitable for many general lubricant transfer tasks. The larger 25mm option allows faster dispensing where a higher flow rate is required.

Each product is designed for a different lubricant handling requirement. The Lube Station provides a dedicated area for organised lubricant storage and dispensing. The Lube Kart makes it easier to move lubricants and maintenance equipment around a site, while the Lube Caddy offers a compact, portable solution for carrying lubricants, tools and related equipment directly to the job.

Use purpose-designed, securely closed lubricant containers and avoid transferring oil in open jugs or unsuitable containers. Clearly identifying each lubricant can also help prevent mistakes when working across multiple machines.

Mobile solutions like the Lube Kart and Lube Caddy can help keep lubricants, transfer equipment and maintenance tools together while moving around your site.

Consider the types and quantities of lubricants you use, how frequently they are dispensed and whether they need to be transported around your site. You should also think about contamination control, spill prevention, identification and available storage space.

If you're unsure which solution is best, Lubricants SW can help you choose storage and handling equipment to suit your operation.
