II. Product Details (PRODUCT DETAILS)

1. 18-Gallon Extra-Large Capacity + 3/4-Inch Valve, Dual Efficiency in Large-Displacement Collection and Discharge

(1) 75L Oil Storage, Reducing Frequent Dumping

• Strong Single Collection Capacity: The 18-gallon capacity can collect oil change volume of 3 heavy-duty trucks (approx. 20-25L each) or 2 large tractors (approx. 30-35L each). No frequent dumping is required during batch oil changes in repair shops, increasing efficiency by 60%. For example, a heavy-duty truck repair shop serving 3 vehicles at the same time needs to dump 2 times with a traditional 8-gallon oil drainer, while this product can complete the task in 1 time, saving 30 minutes of operation time;
• High Liquid Level Safety Design: Clear capacity scale lines are marked on the side of the oil tank, and a 5cm safety height is reserved from the tank mouth to prevent waste oil overflow during large-displacement oil drainage, ensuring accurate control even for beginners.

(2) Large-Caliber Valve, Fast Discharge with No Residue

• Advantages of 3/4-Inch Valve: 50% larger than ordinary 1/2-inch valves, with a waste oil discharge flow rate of 2L/minute. 75L of waste oil can be drained in 37 minutes, saving 25 minutes of discharge time compared to ordinary oil drainers;
• Leak-Proof and Durable: The valve is made of HDPE material, which has strong compatibility with waste oil and no rust risk. It opens and closes smoothly, with no leakage or jamming even after long-term use (more than 5000 times), and maintenance cost is 80% lower than that of metal valves.

2. 37-72 Inch Ultra-High Adaptability + 3-Inch Heavy-Duty Casters, Handling All Complex Scenarios

(1) Ultra-Wide Height Range, Covering Heavy-Duty Equipment

• Minimum 37 Inches for Adaptation: Easily aligns with the oil drain ports of medium-duty trucks (chassis height approx. 90-100cm) without raising the equipment; maximum 72 inches for adaptation: accurately aligns with high-chassis equipment such as large combine harvesters (chassis height approx. 180cm) and mining excavators (chassis height approx. 170cm), solving the industry pain point of "difficult oil collection for high-chassis equipment";
• Stable Adjustment Structure: Buckle-type locking design ensures no pipe sliding after adjustment. Even in the idle vibration environment of equipment, the funnel can always align with the oil drain port, achieving a 100% waste oil collection rate.

(2) Heavy-Duty Casters, No Pressure on Complex Ground

• Advantages of 3-Inch Wheel Diameter: 20% larger than ordinary 2.5-inch wheel diameters; the wheel surface is made of thickened wear-resistant rubber, which can easily handle complex ground surfaces such as gravel, mud, and uneven workshop floor tiles, with no jamming when pushing, saving 40% of pushing force compared to small-diameter caster oil drainers;
• Strong Load-Bearing and Braking: Single caster load capacity ≥20kg, still flexible to move when fully loaded with 83kg of waste oil; the brake device adopts metal brake pads, keeping the equipment stable without displacement after locking, even on a 10° inclined ground, with no safety hazards.

3. Thickened HDPE + Lightweight Design, Balancing Durability and Convenience

(1) Thickened Material, Durable in Extreme Environments

• 5mm Thickened HDPE Tank: 2mm thicker than ordinary HDPE oil drainers, with strong impact resistance. It can withstand 15kg heavy object impact without cracking, and no swelling or deformation when in long-term contact with heavy-duty equipment waste oil (including high-viscosity gear oil). Its service life is 4 times longer than that of ordinary oil drainers;
• Full HDPE Corrosion Resistance: The oil tank, funnel, and valve are all made of HDPE material, with no metal parts, completely avoiding rust problems. It can be used in northern winter environments with snow-melting agents without corrosion risks.

(2) 8kg Lightweight, No Physical Burden in Operation

• 40% Lighter Than Metal Oil Drainers: A metal oil drainer of the same capacity weighs approx. 13kg, while this product weighs only 8kg. It can be easily moved and positioned by 2 people, especially suitable for maintenance personnel who need frequent mobile operations;
• Compact Storage: With a packaging size of 48×44.5×77.5cm, it can be stored in the corner of a repair shop or between equipment, without occupying too much space. Its storage convenience is better than that of traditional heavy-duty oil drainers.

IV. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: When collecting large-displacement waste oil, the funnel cannot catch up, leading to spillage. How to solve this?

1. Install Funnel Extension Ring: Contact the merchant to purchase a matching 16.5-inch funnel extension ring (HDPE material, 5cm high). After installation, the funnel opening area is increased by 30%, with a wider receiving range and no overflow during large-displacement oil drainage;
2. Control Oil Drainage Flow: If the equipment's oil drain valve has a large flow rate, reduce the flow rate by adjusting the valve opening (half-open state). At the same time, ensure the funnel is fully aligned with the oil drain port. If necessary, assign 1 person to hold the funnel for auxiliary positioning to avoid deviation;
3. Check Capacity in Advance: Confirm no residual waste oil in the oil tank before collection to ensure sufficient 18-gallon capacity, avoiding mid-process suspension due to insufficient capacity and causing spillage.

Q2: The valve becomes jammed or leaks after long-term use. What is the reason? How to handle it?

1. Clean Valve Impurities: If jamming occurs, turn off the equipment power (if any), disassemble the connection between the valve and the pipe, rinse the valve interior (residual oil stains, iron filings) with a high-pressure water gun, air-dry it, and reinstall. The opening/closing will return to smoothness;
2. Replace the Sealing Ring: If leakage occurs, check the silicone sealing ring at the connection between the valve and the tank. If cracks or deformation are found, contact the merchant to purchase a sealing ring of the same specification, remove the old ring and replace it, then test for no leakage after installation;
3. Regular Maintenance: Drop 1-2 drops of food-grade lubricating oil (to avoid polluting waste oil) on the valve rotating shaft every month, and disassemble and clean it once a quarter to extend the valve service life.

Q3: When moving the equipment on inclined ground, the casters are prone to deviation. How to ensure safety?

1. Plan a Flat Path: Observe the ground before moving, prioritize flat roads, and avoid obvious potholes and slopes. If it is necessary to pass through inclined ground, keep the equipment moving perpendicular to the slope direction to avoid side turning caused by parallel movement;
2. Activate Auxiliary Brakes: When moving, only release the brake of the caster that needs to turn, fix the brake of the other side, and push slowly to reduce deviation. If the ground inclination is ＞5°, arrange 1 person to support the equipment in the opposite direction of the inclination to ensure stability;
3. Check Caster Status: Regularly check whether the caster screws are loose, and tighten them in time if loose. Replace the casters when the wheel surface is severely worn to avoid movement deviation caused by caster failure.

Q4: Can YD44-004 be used to collect other high-viscosity liquids (e.g., industrial lubricating oil other than gear oil and hydraulic oil)?

1. Viscosity Adaptation Limit: The equipment is designed to adapt to vehicle oil (viscosity ≤200cSt). Collecting industrial lubricating oil with higher viscosity (e.g., gear oil with viscosity ≥300cSt) may cause pipe blockage and valve jamming, affecting normal use;
2. Impact on Recycling Value: Waste oil mixed with non-vehicle oil may be rejected by recycling agencies, resulting in resource waste. If collection is necessary, mark it separately to avoid mixing with vehicle oil;
3. Material Compatibility: Some industrial lubricating oils contain special additives that may corrode HDPE material. It is recommended to conduct a small-dose test first (pour a small amount of lubricating oil into the tank, observe for no swelling after 24 hours before use). Do not use it without testing conditions.
