II. Product Details (PRODUCT DETAILS)

1. 30-Gallon Extra-Large Capacity + Pneumatic Fast Emptying, Doubling Efficiency in Lift Scenarios

(1) 113.6L Oil Storage, Reducing Lift Downtime

• Strong Batch Collection Capacity: The 30-gallon capacity is 67% larger than that of ordinary 18-gallon oil drainers, capable of collecting oil change volume of 5 family cars (approx. 5-6L each) or 3 light trucks (approx. 30L each) at a time. When auto repair shops conduct batch operations using vehicle lifts, there is no need for frequent downtime to dump waste oil, reducing 4-5 downtime instances per day and increasing lift utilization by 30%;
• Precise Oil Level Monitoring: The oil level sight gauge clearly displays the oil volume, avoiding overflow discovered only after the lift is lowered and reducing rework time.

(2) 7PSI Pneumatic Emptying, Eliminating Laborious Manual Operation

• Compatibility with Standard Workshop Air Pressure: No additional high-pressure equipment is required; it can be directly connected to the 7PSI standard air compressor in auto repair shops. 113.6L of waste oil can be emptied in 37-38 minutes, 4 times faster than natural drainage. The operation can be completed by 2 people, saving 50% of physical effort compared to manual dumping;
• Flexible Connection with Long Hose: The 27-1/2-inch emptying hose can be bent to reach the waste oil recycling tank, eliminating the need to move the heavy oil drainer. It is especially suitable for narrow spaces beside lifts, avoiding equipment collision with lift rails.

2. Precise Lift Height Adaptation + Heavy-Duty Casters, Stable and Flexible in Complex Scenarios

(1) 122-179cm Adjustment Range, Covering Mainstream Lifted Vehicles

• Exclusive Adaptation for Lift Scenarios: The minimum height of 122cm (YD44-011)/125cm (YD44-012) is suitable for lifted family cars (chassis height 80-120cm), and the maximum height of 179cm is suitable for lifted light trucks (chassis height 150-175cm). It perfectly matches mainstream vehicle lifts (lift height 80-180cm), solving the contradiction of traditional oil drainers being "unreachable for lifted vehicles and too high for non-lifted ones";
• Stable Adjustment Structure: The segment-type buckles closely engage with the pipe positioning grooves, with no looseness after adjustment. Even if the lift vibrates slightly, the funnel can always align with the oil drain port, achieving a 100% waste oil collection rate.

(2) "Large Fixed Wheels + Small Swivel Casters" Combination, Stable and Flexible Movement

• Balanced Load-Bearing and Steering: 2×7-inch fixed wheels (single-wheel load capacity ≥40kg) ensure no deviation during straight-line movement, and 2×4-inch swivel casters facilitate small-radius steering beside the lift (minimum turning radius 1.5 meters). The stability is 40% higher than that of oil drainers with full swivel casters, and it can move smoothly even when fully loaded with 150kg;
• Powerful Brake Locking: The casters are equipped with metal brake pads, keeping the equipment stable without displacement after locking. Even on a 5° inclined ground beside the lift, it can ensure operation safety and avoid waste oil spillage contaminating lift rails.

3. Heavy-Duty Funnel + Durable Materials, Low Long-Term Usage Cost

(1) 15-3/4-Inch Funnel with Filter Screen, Preventing Spillage and Blockage

• Large-Caliber Anti-Spillage: The 40cm-diameter funnel is 20% larger than ordinary funnels, capable of quickly catching waste oil dripping from lifted vehicles. Even with fast oil drainage, spillage is avoided; the funnel edge is rounded to prevent scratches on operators;
• Built-In Filter Screen for Anti-Blockage: The 5mm-aperture filter screen can filter metal debris and impurities in waste oil, avoiding blockage of the pneumatic emptying pipe and extending the service life of pneumatic components. The filter screen is detachable for cleaning, resulting in low reuse costs.

(2) Thickened Steel Plate + Double-Layer Anti-Rust, Excellent Durability

• 1.5mm Thickened Oil Tank: 0.3mm thicker than ordinary oil drainers, it has strong impact resistance, withstanding 25kg heavy object impact without deformation. It has no rust when in long-term contact with high-viscosity waste oil, and its service life is 5 years longer than that of ordinary oil drainers;
• All-Metal Pneumatic Components: The brass valve body is resistant to compressed air corrosion, and the oil-resistant rubber seals have no aging or leakage. The service life of pneumatic components is ≥10,000 hours, reducing subsequent maintenance and replacement costs.

IV. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: After connecting to pneumatics, the emptying rate slows down or even blocks. How to solve this?

1. Check Air Pressure and Connection: Use a pressure gauge to measure the output pressure of the air compressor. If it is lower than 7PSI, adjust it to the standard 7PSI; check if the pneumatic coupler is loose, reinsert and tighten it to ensure no air pressure leakage;
2. Inspect Hose and Filter Screen: If the air pressure is normal, check if the emptying hose is kinked (prone to kinking beside lifts) and adjust the hose to a straight state; at the same time, take out the funnel filter screen, clean residual impurities (metal debris, oil stains) with diesel, air-dry it, and reinstall to avoid pipe blockage caused by impurities;
3. Regular Maintenance: Check the hose for cracks weekly (replace in time if aging occurs), clean the filter screen every two weeks, and disassemble and clean impurities inside the pneumatic coupler monthly to ensure smooth emptying.

Q2: How to choose between YD44-011 and YD44-012? Which is more suitable for my repair scenario?

1. Choose YD44-011 if:
   - You operate a large auto repair shop (daily lift operations ≥10 units, mainly light trucks and SUVs);
   - You have sufficient warehouse space (≥1.2㎡) and need bulk purchases (155 units in a 20-foot container, low transportation costs);
   - You prioritize equipment stability and need to frequently move fully loaded equipment;
2. Choose YD44-012 if:
   - You operate a small and medium-sized repair shop (daily lift operations ≤5 units, mainly family cars);
   - Your warehouse/repair space is narrow (only about 1㎡) and requires flexible storage;
   - You prioritize equipment pushing flexibility and have higher requirements for caster wear resistance;
3. Universal Scenario: If your main business is lifted family car maintenance and the purchase quantity is ≤50 units, both models are applicable, and the choice can be based on space size.

Q3: When moving the equipment beside the lift, the casters tend to get stuck or deviate. How to handle this?

1. Inspect Caster Status: Tighten the caster connection screws with a wrench (looseness can cause deviation); if the casters get stuck, disassemble the wheel axle, clean internal impurities (metal debris easily accumulates beside lifts), drop 1-2 drops of lubricating oil (to avoid polluting waste oil), and the stuck issue will be resolved after reinstallation;
2. Plan Movement Path: Reserve a channel of ≥1.5 meters beside the lift, avoiding movement over lift rail gaps and ground protrusions; when moving, one person guides the direction in front, and the other pushes from behind. Turn slowly in narrow areas to avoid deviation caused by sudden turns;
3. Auxiliary Protection: Paste rubber strips beside the lift rails to prevent equipment collision with the rails and reduce the risk of caster jamming.

Q4: Can this equipment be used to collect non-waste oil liquids such as antifreeze and brake fluid from lifted vehicles?

1. Material Compatibility Risk: Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which may corrode the oil-resistant rubber seals in the equipment (causing pneumatic leakage); brake fluid contains alcohol components, which will accelerate the rusting of metal valve bodies and shorten the equipment service life;
2. Function Adaptation Limit: The equipment is designed to collect viscous waste oil. Antifreeze and brake fluid have strong fluidity, which may prevent the funnel filter screen from filtering impurities, and the excessive flow rate during emptying may cause spillage;
3. Usage Suggestion: If temporary use is really necessary, first conduct a 1L suction test (observe for 24 hours with no leakage or component deformation). After use, thoroughly clean the oil tank and hose with diesel to avoid residual liquid corroding the equipment. Long-term collection of non-waste oil liquids is not recommended.
