oil drainers

Oil drainers are workshop systems used to safely collect and manage waste oil during vehicle servicing. From mobile waste oil drainers to gravity collection units and pumped discharge systems, they support efficient oil removal, reduce spillage and improve safe handling of used oil across automotive and commercial vehicle environments.

GEMCO supplies professional oil drainers for reliable waste oil collection across garages, dealerships and commercial vehicle workshops. Our range is designed to support efficient servicing workflows, from routine oil changes to high-volume maintenance environments.

Available in mobile and high-capacity configurations, these systems allow technicians to position equipment accurately, collect used oil cleanly and transfer it safely for storage or disposal. Features such as adjustable collection bowls and pumped discharge systems help streamline operations while maintaining a clean and controlled workspace.

All equipment is supported by our engineering team, ensuring correct specification, installation and long-term performance.

OUR RANGE OF oil drainers

Mobile Oil Drainers and Waste Oil Collection Units

Mobile oil drainers provide flexibility within the workshop, allowing technicians to position equipment directly beneath vehicles during servicing. Adjustable collection bowls and telescopic columns enable efficient oil capture from a wide range of vehicle heights.

Waste oil collection units are available with gravity discharge or integrated pump systems, allowing safe transfer of collected oil into storage tanks or disposal systems. This improves workflow efficiency and reduces the risk of spills during handling.

These systems are particularly suited to busy workshops handling frequent oil changes and routine servicing.

Gravity and Pumped Discharge Systems

Oil drainers are typically available with either gravity discharge or pumped discharge functionality. Gravity systems provide a simple and reliable solution for collecting and storing used oil, while pumped systems allow controlled transfer of waste oil to storage or disposal points.

Pumped discharge units are especially beneficial in larger workshops where oil needs to be moved over distance or into elevated storage systems. This reduces manual handling and improves efficiency when dealing with higher volumes of waste oil.

Safe Handling and Environmental Compliance

Handling waste oil requires careful control to prevent spills, contamination and environmental damage. Oil drainers are designed to support safe collection and transfer of used oil, helping workshops maintain clean and compliant working environments.

Proper waste oil management supports compliance with environmental regulations relating to oil storage and disposal, while controlled collection systems reduce the risk of accidental discharge. By improving containment and transfer processes, oil drainers contribute to safer and more responsible workshop operations.
