🔧🚛 Maintenance & Lube Truck – Mechanical CAD Design (GAD)
🏷️ Project Category
⚙️ Mechanical Design | Industrial Vehicle | Maintenance Equipment
📌 Project Overview
This project showcases a complete Mechanical CAD & GAD design of a Maintenance & Lube Truck 🚛🛢️, developed for on-site servicing and lubrication of heavy machinery used in construction 🏗️, mining ⛏️, oil & gas 🛢️, and industrial operations.
The truck is designed as a mobile maintenance workshop, capable of supplying multiple grades of oils, grease, compressed air, welding support, and safety systems directly in the field 🌍.
The focus of the design is on practical usability, safety 🦺, proper weight distribution ⚖️, and ease of maintenance.
🚚 Base Vehicle & Chassis
- Chassis: International 4300 SBA 4×2
- Drive: 4×2
- Application: Medium-duty industrial service truck
- Design Standard: First Angle Projection 📐
- Units: All dimensions in millimetres (mm)
This chassis was selected for its strong frame 💪, reliability, and suitability for industrial upfitting.
🛢️ Lubrication & Fluid Systems
The truck is equipped with multiple dedicated fluid tanks, designed for safe storage and controlled dispensing:
- 🔹 Hydraulic Oil Tank – 1000 L
- 🔹 Engine Oil Tank – 1000 L
- 🔹 Gear Oil Tank (90W) – 1000 L
- 🔹 Gear Oil Tank (140W) – 1000 L
- 🔹 Waste Oil Recovery Tank – 1000 L
- 🔹 Grease Drum – 180 kg
Each system includes:
- ⚙️ Air-operated oil pumps
- 🧴 High-ratio grease pump (60:1)
- 📊 Digital oil dispensers
- 🧵 Hose reels with industrial hoses
This allows clean, accurate, and efficient lubrication service in field conditions.
🔩🧰 Maintenance & Utility Equipment
To function as a self-sufficient mobile workshop, the design integrates:
- 🔧 Diesel air compressor (200 L)
- 🔥 Diesel welding set (160 Amps)
- 🔥 Portable oxy-acetylene cutting & welding kit
- ⚡ Generator set (7 kVA)
- 🧰 Heavy-duty tool boxes & trays
- 🛠️ 406-piece professional tool kit
All equipment is positioned for easy access and safe operation.
🦺🧯 Safety & Emergency Features
Safety is a key design priority. The truck includes:
- 🧯 ABC fire extinguishers (10 kg & 2 kg)
- 🛢️ 120-liter hydrocarbon spill containment kit
- 🚿 16-gallon emergency eye wash station
- 🛑 Wheel chocks & rear bumper protection
- 🚨 Beacon light & backup sensors
- 🧼 Spill kit tray and drainage provisions
These features help ensure safe maintenance operations in harsh industrial environments.
🏗️ Structural & Layout Design
- 🧱 Reinforced sub-frame mounted on chassis
- ⚖️ Optimized weight distribution & center of gravity
- 📦 Separate compartments for oils, tools, and power equipment
- 💧 Drain holes at cabinet bottoms
- 🔄 Rounded edges to avoid sharp corners
The layout is optimized for service efficiency, stability, and operator safety.
