Authorised distributor of Mobil lubricants, Quaker Houghton products and Lasher Tools for open pit, underground and processing plant mining operations across the Western Cape, Northern Cape, Garden Route and Gauteng. Bulk supply, tender documentation and technical grade selection available.
⚠ NDCR 2026 — Deadline 30 May 2026
New National Dust Control Regulations — Is your mine dust management plan compliant?
The NDCR 2026 (effective 31 March 2026) requires every South African mine to submit a revised dust management plan by 30 May 2026. Orbit Industrial stocks MINETECH™ DG and DUSTGRIP® JFP-95 — both suitable for specification in your plan.
NDCR 2026 Compliance Guide →Industrial Supply for South African Mining Operations
Orbit Industrial works directly with mining contractors, maintenance managers and procurement departments to deliver the logistical certainty required for remote and continuous-operation mining sites. As an authorised distributor for Mobil and Quaker Houghton, we supply open pit, underground and processing plant operations across the Western Cape, Northern Cape, Garden Route and Gauteng with genuine products at competitive wholesale pricing.
Mining operations place extreme demands on lubricants, hydraulic fluids and maintenance products. Haul truck engines running continuous shifts, crusher gearboxes under shock loading, conveyor drives operating 24 hours — each requires a precisely specified product supplied reliably, on time, in the correct quantity. Orbit Industrial's supply model is built around that requirement.
Authorised Distributor
Genuine Mobil and Quaker Houghton products through the authorised distribution chain — with full product data sheets, SDS documentation and OEM approval confirmation for procurement compliance.
Bulk & IBC Supply
20L, 208L drums, 1,000L IBCs and bulk tanker delivery. We coordinate logistics to remote Northern Cape and Garden Route mining sites from our Western Cape and Gauteng hubs.
Tender & Procurement Support
We support formal RFQs, B2B tenders and government procurement with competitive pricing, compliance documentation, product certifications and same-business-day response on bulk enquiries.
Technical Grade Selection
Our technical team assists with lubricant specification for haul truck axles, crusher gearboxes, conveyor drives, hydraulic systems and processing plant gearboxes. No charge for application assessments.
Mining Lubrication Solutions
Correct lubricant specification is a production continuity decision in mining. The wrong product in a haul truck axle or crusher gearbox means unplanned downtime — with replacement costs that dwarf the cost of the lubricant. Orbit Industrial supplies the full Mobil lubricant range across all mining equipment categories.
