Sage Oil Vac adds all-weather capability to non-CDL lube truck lineup

Oct. 11, 2024
The new service truck provides heaters to minimize oil viscosity in cold temperatures, as well as a choice of product tanks and pump-free vacuum technology for convenience, among other features

Sage Oil Vac has expanded its non-CDL lube truck capabilities by adding an enclosed-body model with heaters to minimize oil viscosity.

“We recognize the challenges service technicians face when they exchange fluid in cold climates,” said Aaron Sage, Sage Oil Vac CEO. “The non-CDL enclosed lube truck model builds on the greater maneuverability and less restrictive licensing requirement benefits of a Class 5/6 truck by adding all-weather oil change performance.”

The Sage Oil Vac non-CDL enclosed lube body is constructed of a steel subframe with aluminum cabinets and components to optimize weight savings, similar to its open-body non-CDL truck counterpart. The enclosure provides dry storage space with tool and filter storage, including five boxes and more than 60 cu. ft. of space. Removable roof panels also provide easy tank access. A Miller CabEn heater and two Eberspächer diesel heaters keep your operation from freezing, and these heaters, paired with enclosed tanks, ensure oil viscosity stays low enough to flow in even the coldest environments.

The trucks are also perfectly sized for preventive maintenance on all types of equipment in your fleet — from dozers and excavators to rental generators. Since they are lighter-weight, they can also perform better in rough terrain than their larger tandem-axle counterparts. If your operation travels between jobsites and encounters difficult terrain, smaller trucks like the Sage Oil Vac non-CDL models may be your best choice for a heavy-duty maintenance vehicle.

Eight product tanks provide a capacity of 480 gallons of fresh fluid and 280 gallons of used fluids. This includes:

  • Two 120-gal fresh oil tanks
  • Three 60-gal fresh oil tanks
  • A 60-gal fresh coolant tank
  • A 220-gal used oil tank
  • A 60-gal used coolant tank
  • A 120-lb grease drum

Sage Oil Vac non-CDL lube trucks also feature fluid control panels to make fluid loading a cinch from ground level. Operators can easily view fluid levels with LED indicators and make changes with centrally located controls — both available in the fluid reels cabinet.

Sage Oil Vac pump-free vacuum technology powered by a Miller EnPak A30 compressor and generator and a 15-gallon air tank also adds to the efficiency of the enclosed truck. This low-maintenance fluid exchange system can vacuum fill products at up to 20 gallons per minute through the Sage Oil Vac barrel straw, the company said. Plus, you can vacuum hot motor oil from equipment at up to 8 gallons per minute with no moving parts. And the vehicle’s rounded, sealed, bottom-draining storage tanks keep contaminants out of fresh fluids and prevent spillage on the job.

The Sage Oil Vac non-CDL lube trucks come standard with:

  • Barrel straws for loading bulk oil into the fresh oil tanks.
  • Used Filter Receptacles (UFR) to secure and hold used oil filters as they drain, allowing crews to quickly vacuum up the used oil.
  • A Filter Stinger designed to puncture used filters so operators can vacuum out oil before removing the filter from the machine.
