II. Product Details (PRODUCT DETAILS)

1. 18-Gallon Large Capacity + Self-Evacuating Hose, No More Manual Dumping

(1) 75L Oil Storage, Less Downtime in Batch Oil Changes

• Strong Single Collection Capacity: The 18-gallon capacity can handle oil change volume of 3 heavy-duty trucks (20-25L each) or 2 large tractors (30-35L each). During batch operations in repair shops, there is no need for frequent downtime to dump waste oil, increasing efficiency by 60%. For example, a large heavy-duty truck repair shop serving 3 vehicles at the same time requires 2 dumps with a traditional 8-gallon oil drainer, while this product completes the task in 1 dump, saving 30 minutes of operation time;
• Real-Time Level Monitoring: The 8-inch discharge hose is equipped with a built-in fluid level gauge, allowing clear observation of oil volume changes, avoiding overflow risks caused by "unknown oil volume" and enabling accurate control even for novice operators.

(2) 8-Inch Large-Caliber Hose + Air Pressure Valve, Precise Drainage with No Spillage

• Hose Advantages: The 8-inch caliber is 60% larger than that of ordinary oil drainers (5 inches), with a waste oil flow rate of 4.2-4.4L/minute. 75L of waste oil can be drained in 17-18 minutes. The hose can be bent 360°, enabling accurate connection to waste oil recycling tanks of different heights and avoiding the problems of "difficult connection and easy spillage" with traditional rigid pipes;
• Air Pressure Valve Control: The oil drainage speed can be adjusted by the air pressure valve. For high-viscosity gear oil, slow down the flow rate to prevent blockage; for low-viscosity engine oil, speed up the flow rate to improve efficiency, adapting to drainage needs of different types of waste oil.

2. Heavy-Duty Casters + 46-70 Inch Adjustment, Handling All Complex Scenarios

(1) "Fixed-Axle Wheels + Swivel Casters" Combination, Stable and Flexible Movement

• Heavy-Duty Casters: 2×6-inch fixed-axle wheels (single-wheel load capacity ≥50kg) ensure no deviation during straight-line movement, and 2 swivel casters facilitate steering in narrow workstations. The stability is 40% higher than that of oil drainers with full swivel casters. Even when fully loaded with 75L of waste oil, it can move smoothly on uneven workshop floors;
• Powerful Braking: The casters are equipped with metal brake pads, keeping the equipment stable without displacement after locking. Even during oil changes on a 10° inclined ground, the funnel can be accurately aligned with the oil drain port, reducing the risk of waste oil spillage to zero.

(2) Ultra-Wide Adjustment Range, Covering Most Heavy-Duty Equipment

• Minimum 46 Inches for Adaptation: Easily aligns with the oil drain ports of medium-duty trucks (chassis 110-120cm) without raising the equipment; maximum 70 inches for adaptation: accurately aligns with high-chassis equipment such as large combine harvesters (chassis 170-180cm) and mining excavators (chassis 160-170cm), solving the industry pain point of "difficult oil collection for high-chassis equipment";
• Stable Adjustment Structure: Buckle-type locking design, no tools required for adjustment. The pipe positioning grooves closely engage with the buckles. Even in the idle vibration environment of equipment, the funnel can always remain aligned, achieving a 100% waste oil collection rate.

3. Differentiation of Two Models, Adapting to Different Scenario Needs

(1) YD44-009: Focus on Stability, Suitable for Batch Operations in Large Repair Shops

• Advantages: 26kg weight + 44×42×96cm size, stronger stability, suitable for high-frequency, large-flow oil change scenarios such as large heavy-duty truck repair shops and mining equipment maintenance stations. A 20-foot container can hold 155 units, resulting in lower transportation costs for bulk purchases;
• Applicable Scenarios: Heavy-duty equipment maintenance institutions with daily oil changes of 10+ units, scenarios requiring high caster stability and drainage efficiency.

(2) YD44-009A: Focus on Flexibility, Suitable for Maintenance Scenarios with Limited Space

• Advantages: 25kg weight (1kg lighter than YD44-009) + 93×45×52cm compact size, saving 12% storage space compared to YD44-009, suitable for scenarios with limited space such as community repair shops and small agricultural machinery cooperatives. The thicker wheel surface rubber improves wear resistance by 20%, suitable for low-frequency, multi-type equipment oil change needs;
• Applicable Scenarios: Maintenance institutions with daily oil changes of ≤5 units and narrow warehouse space, scenarios balancing stability and storage flexibility.

IV. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: The discharge hose becomes blocked after a period of use, especially for high-viscosity gear oil. How to solve this?

1. Pre-Treatment Before Drainage: For high-viscosity gear oil, preheat the oil drainer to 15-20℃ first (place it in a warm workshop for 1 hour in winter) to reduce oil viscosity; at the same time, adjust the air pressure valve to the minimum flow rate to prevent oil accumulation in the hose due to excessive flow rate;
2. Unblocking After Blockage: If blocked, close the air pressure valve, disassemble the connection between the hose and the oil tank, and rinse the hose in reverse from the end with a high-pressure water gun (pressure adjusted to 0.3MPa) to flush out blocked impurities. For stubborn impurities, pour 50ml of diesel (to dissolve oil stains), let it stand for 10 minutes, then rinse again;
3. Daily Maintenance: After each drainage, rinse the inner wall of the hose with a small amount of diesel, air-dry it before storage; check the hose for aging cracks weekly, and replace it in time if cracks are found (the merchant provides matching 8-inch hose accessories).

Q2: How to choose between YD44-009 and YD44-009A? Which is more suitable for my maintenance scenario?

1. Choose YD44-009 if:
   - Daily oil changes ≥8 heavy-duty equipment units (e.g., heavy-duty trucks, mining excavators);
   - Maintenance site ≥300㎡ with sufficient warehouse space;
   - Single purchase ≥50 units, requiring lower transportation costs (more units in a 20-foot container);
2. Choose YD44-009A if:
   - Daily oil changes ≤5 small/medium-sized equipment units (e.g., light trucks, tractors);
   - Maintenance site ＜200㎡ with narrow warehouse space;
   - Emphasizing equipment flexibility, requiring single-person pushing operation, or having higher requirements for caster wear resistance (thicker wheel surface);
3. Universal Scenario: If daily oil changes are 5-8 units and site space is moderate, the choice can be based on purchase cost (choose YD44-009 for bulk purchases) or flexibility needs (choose YD44-009A).

Q3: The caster brake still has slight displacement after locking, especially on inclined ground. How to handle this?

1. Check and Tighten Screws: Use a wrench to check the screws at the connection between the casters and the equipment. If loose, tighten them clockwise (moderate force to avoid damaging the equipment frame), then test the brake locking effect;
2. Replace Brake Pads: If displacement still occurs after tightening the screws, disassemble the caster brake pads (matching accessories provided by the merchant), check for wear or oil stains. If severely worn, replace with new brake pads; if there is oil stain, wipe it clean with alcohol and reinstall;
3. Auxiliary Fixation on Inclined Ground: If the operation ground has an inclination ＞10°, place a 1-2cm thick rubber pad next to the fixed-axle wheels to increase friction and further prevent displacement.

Q4: The built-in fluid level gauge of the hose is blurred, making it impossible to accurately judge the oil volume. How to solve this?

1. Clean Surface Oil Stains: Wipe the surface of the fluid level gauge with a rag dipped in a small amount of diesel to remove oil stains (avoid using strong acid/alkali cleaners to prevent damaging the gauge shell);
2. Check for Internal Water Ingress: If it is still blurred after cleaning, check for water droplets inside the fluid level gauge. If there is water, disassemble the gauge, pour out the water, dry the interior with a hair dryer (cold air), and reinstall;
3. Daily Protection: Avoid excessive bending of the hose during drainage to prevent pressure damage to the fluid level gauge; wipe the surface of the gauge with a dry rag after each use to keep it clean and extend its service life.
