What This Machine Does
This mobile waste oil extractor collects used engine and gearbox oil under the vehicle and then discharges it under air pressure, so the oil goes from sump to storage drum without being poured from a tray. A heavy duty 15 inch by 5.5 inch receiver funnel catches the drain flow, and the column extends from 46 inches to 76 inches so the funnel can be set under a car on a two-post lift or under a truck on a pit. Two fixed axle wheels and two swivel casters let a full unit be pushed and steered in one hand, which matters because a full drainer is heavy. A fluid level gauge on the hose shows how much is in the tank without opening it, and an air pressure valve controls the discharge. Emptying is through an 8 foot discharge hose with a shut-off valve, so the unit is wheeled to the waste drum and pressure-emptied rather than lifted and tipped. The range covers 10, 18 and 30 gallon and 65 and 70 litre tanks, in both pneumatic-discharge and gravity-drain versions.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Pressure discharge through an 8 foot hose means the tank is never lifted or tipped to empty it
- Extending column from 46 to 76 inches reaches sumps on cars on a lift and on light trucks
- Heavy duty 15 by 5.5 inch receiver funnel catches the drain flow instead of splashing it
- Two fixed wheels and two swivel casters make a full unit steerable with one hand
- Fluid level gauge on the hose shows tank contents without opening the unit
- Shut-off valve on the discharge hose stops drips between the unit and the waste drum
- Tank sizes from 10 gallon up to 30 gallon and 65 to 70 litre to match workshop throughput
Where Pneumatic Waste Oil Extractor Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Pouring a full drain tray into a drum is where most workshop oil spills happen
- A fixed-height drainer will not reach the sump of a vehicle raised on a lift
- Heavy full units with fixed wheels cannot be steered around a busy workshop floor
- Guessing tank level means the unit overflows or is emptied half full
- Small tanks force the technician to stop mid-shift and go and empty the unit
- Drips between the drainer and the waste drum leave oil across the workshop floor
Who It Is For
- Car and light commercial vehicle service workshops
- Fast-fit and quick-lube oil change bays
- Fleet and bus depot maintenance departments
- Agricultural and plant workshops servicing their own machines
- Garage equipment distributors supplying workshop consumable handling gear
Application Scenarios
- Routine engine oil changes in a service bay with vehicles on a two-post lift
- Gearbox and differential oil draining on light commercial vehicles
- Oil changes over an inspection pit where the funnel has to reach up to the sump
- Mobile servicing where the unit is wheeled between bays rather than fixed in one
- Fleet workshops running back-to-back oil changes and needing a large tank between empties
- Collecting drained oil for bulk transfer into a licensed waste storage drum

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed
Quality Control
- Tank pressure tested and checked for leaks before the unit is assembled
- Discharge hose shut-off valve function checked on every pneumatic unit
- Fluid level gauge verified against actual tank contents
- Column extension and lock checked through the full 46 to 76 inch range
- Wheels and swivel casters checked for free running under load before packing
Customisation Options
- Tank capacity selected from 10 gallon 18 gallon 30 gallon 65 L or 70 L for your throughput
- Pneumatic discharge or gravity drain version chosen according to whether you have shop air
- Model selected on package size where container loading volume matters
- Colour and branding applied for distributor and retail supply
- Packing and carton marking prepared to your requirement
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Open drain tray | A tray has to be lifted and poured into a drum, which is where spills come from; this unit is wheeled to the drum and emptied under air pressure |
|---|---|
| Gravity drain models in this same range | The gravity models such as LD-D03021 and LD-D03501 are cheaper but must be tipped or drained by height; the pneumatic models discharge under air with a shut-off valve |
| A fixed bulk oil collection point | A fixed point means every drained sump has to be carried to it; a mobile extractor goes to the vehicle instead |
| Smaller 10 gallon units | The 30 gallon and 70 litre models reduce how often a busy bay stops to empty, at the cost of a larger unit on the floor |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Wheel the unit under the vehicle and lock the casters in position
Step 2
Extend the column so the receiver funnel sits close under the sump plug, anywhere from 46 to 76 inches
Step 3
Remove the drain plug and let the oil drain into the funnel
Step 4
Watch the fluid level gauge on the hose and stop before the tank is full
Step 5
Wheel the unit to the waste oil drum with the discharge hose coiled
Step 6
Connect shop air, open the shut-off valve and discharge the tank under air pressure
Step 7
Close the shut-off valve before disconnecting so the hose does not drip across the floor

Questions About Pneumatic Waste Oil Extractor
Which model should I order?
It depends on tank size and whether you want pneumatic discharge. LD-D03281 and LD-D03282 are 18 gallon pneumatic, LD-D03301 is 30 gallon pneumatic, LD-D03283 is 65 litre and LD-D03401 is 70 litre. LD-D03021, LD-D03022 and LD-D03501 are non-pneumatic. Tell us your daily oil change volume and we will recommend.
Do I need a compressed air supply?
For the pneumatic models yes, the tank is emptied under air pressure through the discharge hose. If you have no shop air, choose one of the non-pneumatic models.
How high does the funnel reach?
The column extends from 46 inches to 76 inches, which covers vehicles on a two-post lift as well as work over a pit.
How heavy is the unit to ship?
Net and gross weights run from 12/13 kg on the smallest model up to 33/35 kg on the 30 gallon model, with package sizes from 87x49x16 cm up to 52x50x104 cm.
