Oil Equipment
Oil equipment is the umbrella category for the pumps, dispensers, reels, meters, oilers, and reservoirs that workshops use to handle lubricating oil — from the drum it arrives in to the engine, gearbox, or hydraulic reservoir it ends up in. AIMS Industrial stocks a broad range of oil equipment for trade workshops, fleet maintenance facilities, and industrial sites.
The categories within oil equipment
- Drum and bulk pumps — pneumatic and electric, for transferring oil from drums and tanks
- Hand pumps and lever pumps — for low-volume manual transfer where powered pumps would be overkill
- Hose reels — retractable reels keep oil hose off the floor between uses
- Oil meters — volumetric measurement for accurate dispensing
- Dispensing guns and nozzles — trigger-operated valves at the end of the hose
- Oilers and reservoirs — bottle oilers, drip oilers, and gravity-feed reservoirs for machine lubrication
- Funnels, jugs, and measures — for manual oil handling and pour applications
- Oil drains and waste oil collection — for capturing used oil during service
Common workshop setups
Most workshops settle into one of three patterns. Drum-and-pump: a pneumatic or electric pump fits to the drum bung, dispenses through a hose reel to a hand gun. Bulk-tank: a larger fixed tank feeds multiple dispense points around the workshop. Mobile: a drum on a wheeled trolley with pump and hose, brought to the work rather than the work to the pump.
Brands stocked at AIMS
Macnaught is an Australian-manufactured brand widely used across local workshops — pumps, meters, hose reels, and dispensing components. Samoa is a Spanish-manufactured range with strong product depth in fluid handling. Alemlube is the Australian-distributed range covering grease and oil dispensing. Coxreel and Retracta are the hose reel specialists. Each brand has its strengths — we can match by application.
Selection guidance
Oil viscosity, flow rate, and dispensed volume per service drive the spec. A workshop changing engine oil on cars does fine with a 1:1 air pump and a 6-metre hose reel; a fleet workshop servicing trucks needs a higher-pressure pump (3:1 or 5:1) and longer hose runs to reach across larger bays. Match the equipment to the work, not the other way around.
Service items
Pumps and meters wear over years of service. Seal kits, replacement nozzles, and hose assemblies are stocked alongside the equipment so the workshop's setup can be kept in service rather than replaced wholesale when one component fails.

People Also Ask — Oil Equipment
Q: What's the difference between a drum-and-pump and a bulk-tank oil dispensing setup?
A drum-and-pump setup fits a pneumatic or electric pump to the drum bung and dispenses through a hose reel to a hand gun, while a bulk-tank setup uses a larger fixed tank feeding multiple dispense points around the workshop.
Q: When would a mobile oil dispensing setup make more sense than a fixed drum-and-pump station?
When the work needs to come to the oil rather than the oil to the work — a drum on a wheeled trolley with pump and hose can be brought directly to the vehicle or machine being serviced.
Q: What pump ratio suits a workshop servicing trucks compared with one servicing cars?
A car workshop does fine with a 1:1 air pump and a 6-metre hose reel, while a fleet workshop servicing trucks needs a higher-pressure pump — 3:1 or 5:1 — and longer hose runs to reach across larger bays.
Q: What's the difference between Macnaught, Samoa and Alemlube in the oil equipment range?
Macnaught is Australian-manufactured with strong local workshop use, Samoa is Spanish-manufactured with strong product depth in fluid handling, and Alemlube is the Australian-distributed range covering grease and oil dispensing — each has its own strengths depending on the application.
Q: What service items should a workshop keep on hand for its oil dispensing equipment?
Seal kits, replacement nozzles and hose assemblies, so a pump or meter that wears over years of service can be kept running rather than the whole setup being replaced when one component fails.
