Waste Oil Equipment Selection — Quick Reference
Waste oil collection is a workshop compliance + environmental + workplace cleanliness requirement. AU regs require licensed waste oil disposal (NOT down the drain, NOT in general waste). Selection turns on extraction method (suction vs gravity drain) + mobility + capacity.
| Equipment Type | Best For | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Oil Extractor (Manual Suction) | Engine oil through dipstick — no drain plug required | 6-12L typical, hand-pumped vacuum |
| Oil Extractor (Pneumatic / Air-Operated) | Production workshop — sustained suction extraction | 10-70L tank, venturi-driven |
| Mobile Waste Oil Drainer (Funnel Top) | Vehicle drain plug + transmission + gear oil | 40-100L wheeled tank with collection funnel |
| Combined Extractor + Drainer | Versatile — both suction + gravity drain in one unit | 40-90L mobile + dual-function |
| Hand Pump Suction Unit | Light-duty + small-volume extraction | 6-12L manual pump |
| Wall-Mount Drum Pump for Waste Oil | Bulk waste collection into 200L drums | Drum pump + collection system |
| Waste Oil Pumping System | Workshop-to-bulk transfer + disposal pickup | Per pump + line spec |
| Drip Trays + Spill Containment | Workshop cleanliness + WHS slip prevention | Per tray size |
Critical compliance: AU waste oil disposal regulated under state EPA rules — must use licensed waste oil collector for disposal (typically free or paid-by-volume pickup). NEVER dispose to drain or general waste — environmental + legal liability. Keep waste oil SEPARATE from coolant, fuel, hydraulic fluid — cross-contaminated waste oil is rejected by recyclers. Brands: Alemlube, Lubemate, Samoa. Companion: oil tanks, spill containment, drum handling.
Waste Oil Equipment
Proper waste oil collection is essential for workshop compliance, environmental responsibility and clean working conditions. AIMS Industrial stocks a practical range of waste oil equipment from Alemlube, Lubemate and Samoa — covering oil extractors for suction-based removal and mobile waste oil drainers for gravity drain applications.
Oil Extractors
Oil extractors remove engine oil, transmission fluid and other fluids via suction through the dipstick tube or filler port — no drain plug required. We stock manual and pneumatic models including the Lubemate 6.5L extractor, Alemlube 6.5L manual extractor (41006N) and the Lubemate L-OE6PM 6L pneumatic and manual unit. Pneumatic models connect to workshop air supply for faster extraction. Suitable for engines, gearboxes, differentials and hydraulic reservoirs.
Mobile Waste Oil Drainers
Mobile waste oil drainers collect oil drained from sumps directly, with a drain pan and wheeled tank for easy movement around the workshop. The range covers a variety of capacities and vehicle types: the Lubemate 90L and L-OD90B mobile drainers and 95L truck drainer (L-TOD95) for heavy vehicles, the Alemlube 100L low-level mobile drainer (42100) for vehicles with low ground clearance, and the Samoa 372000 100L/20L/10L combination drainer/evacuator for versatile use. The Alemlube 205L drum top pan (41009) provides a large-capacity collection solution for high-volume workshops.
Stationary Drainers
The Alemlube stationary bowl-on-stand drainer (41020N) suits dedicated service bays where a fixed drain point is preferred for ATF, oil or other fluids drained into a central collection vessel.

People Also Ask — Waste Oil Equipment
Q: What waste oil equipment does AIMS stock?
Waste oil drainers (oil pan with funnel and reservoir, suits vehicle service bays), waste oil pumps (transfer used oil from drum to storage tank), oil filters (for recycling/recovery), portable waste oil totes, drum lifts and tipper attachments, oil-water separators (workshop drain compliance), and specialty waste oil management equipment. For workshop daily use: portable waste oil drainer essential for vehicle service. For larger operations: pumping system + bulk storage tank with bunding.
Q: How do I dispose of used oil?
Used motor oil and hydraulic oil are regulated industrial waste — cannot be poured down drains, into stormwater, or into general waste. Standard disposal: licensed used-oil recycling collection service (paid disposal, or free pickup if volume justifies it). Trade-in service: some oil suppliers accept used oil credit toward new oil purchase. Don't burn used oil in heaters without proper certification (air quality regulations). For small volumes, council household chemical collection accepts used oil. AIMS doesn't dispose of used oil — refer to local recyclers.
Q: How much waste oil can I store on-site?
AS 1940 (Storage and Handling of Flammable Liquids) regulates storage thresholds. Most workshops can store up to 500-1000L of used oil without specific licensing, with bunding compliant with AS 1940 (110% containment of largest tank). Above that, dangerous goods licensing may apply. Check with state WHS regulator for specific thresholds. For most workshop service operations, regular pickup (when storage reaches 200-400L) avoids licensing complexity.
Q: Do I need an oil-water separator?
If workshop floor drains discharge to stormwater or trade waste: yes, oil-water separator typically required. The separator removes oil from washdown water before it enters the drain — prevents oil contamination of drains/stormwater. Sized to the workshop's typical floor washing volume. Maintenance: periodic clean-out of accumulated oil (typically quarterly). Local council and EPA requirements vary — verify before installation. AIMS doesn't supply separators (specialist plumbing) but can refer to installers.
Q: What's the workshop standard waste oil drainer?
Portable rolling drainer with funnel (top-mounted), oil reservoir (50-100L typical), and tap or pump for emptying into bulk drum. Brand mix includes Alemlube, Macnaught, Mityvac, and similar workshop-spec drainers. For service trucks (mobile mechanic), smaller portable drainers (30-50L). For high-volume service shops, central bulk tank with floor drains discharging to the tank. AIMS can recommend matched waste oil systems for workshop sizing.
