Efficient lubricant and oil monitoring for commercial vehicles and mobile machinery

In our seminar, you will learn how to select and use lubricants specifically for commercial vehicles and mobile machinery. You will learn about the advantages of synthetic oils and what to look out for when using bio-oils.

We also provide practical training on how professional oil monitoring works, enabling you to optimise maintenance intervals and detect wear at an early stage. This increases the reliability and service life of your vehicles and machines under a wide range of operating conditions – from long-distance transport to seasonal municipal use.

  • Understanding the correct selection and application of lubricants in commercial vehicles and work machines
  • Communicating the advantages and areas of application of synthetic oils
  • Information about the special features and possible uses of organic oils
  • Ensuring lubricant quality through correct specifications
  • Learning professional oil monitoring to optimise maintenance intervals and detect wear early on
  • Fleet managers and maintenance personnel for commercial vehicles
  • Operators and maintenance personnel for mobile machinery
  • Technicians and engineers in the field of vehicle and machine maintenance
  • Responsible for fleet management and operational safety
  • Specialists from the municipal vehicle technology and construction machinery sectors
Seminar (2 days)
