Premium lubricants formulated with high shear stability and anti-wear protection for operations across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret.
Kenya is rapidly positioning itself as the economic and logistics hub of East Africa. Driven by major infrastructure projects such as the LAPSSET (Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport) Corridor, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) expansion, and rapid industrialization in cities like Mombasa, Nairobi, and Kisumu, the demand for reliable heavy machinery lubricants has surged. Continuous machinery operations in agricultural harvesting, cement manufacturing, geothermal energy exploration in the Rift Valley, and cargo port handling systems require hydraulic systems to function under strenuous environments.
Tropical and equatorial climates present high operating temperatures, coupled with heavy volcanic dust particles typical in regions like Nakuru and Naivasha. Standard hydraulic fluids frequently suffer from thermal degradation and accelerated component wear under these harsh conditions. Shandong Longhai’s premium Anti-wear (AW) Hydraulic Oil is specifically engineered to combat these variables, utilizing highly refined mineral base stocks combined with a robust zinc-based (ZDDP) additive chemistry to resist shear, minimize varnish deposits, and prevent micro-abrasion of system components.

A comprehensive breakdown of how Longhai Hydraulic Fluids optimize equipment lifetime, prevent pump cavitation, and sustain high pressures.
High operating temperatures in African tropical zones lead to viscosity breakdown. Our ISO VG 32, 46, and 68 hydraulic oils feature a high viscosity index (VI > 100), ensuring the fluid maintains optimal film strength under high-stress shear conditions in axial piston and vane pumps.
High humidity in coastal Mombasa causes moisture ingestion in hydraulic oil tanks, triggering sludge. Our advanced formulation promotes rapid water separation (ASTM D1401 demulsibility standards), preventing system rust, valve sticking, and micro-cavitation.
To avoid pump sputtering and foam formation, Longhai's AW oils utilize silicone-free defoaming agents. Excellent filterability down to 3 microns ensures system cleanliness, preventing blockage in high-precision proportional valve setups.
Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology Development Co., Ltd. was established in 2009 and is headquartered in Zibo, Shandong. It is a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, and sales. The company has been deeply involved in the lubricant industry for more than 15 years, has built a complete industrial chain system, and is committed to providing high-quality lubrication solutions for the global industrial and transportation fields.
As a reliable lubricant manufacturer in the industry, Longhai Technology owns its own brand "Century Longhai" and the international strategic cooperation brand British "A Ba" series of products. The products cover diesel engine oil, gasoline engine oil, gear oil, hydraulic transmission oil, anti-wear hydraulic oil, special engine oil for engineering machinery, special oil for natural gas, full synthetic oil, automotive urea solution, antifreeze, special engine oil for motorcycles, industrial oil, automatic transmission oil and many other lubricant varieties. The brand is insured by PICC China People's Insurance Company and quality insurance.
Connect With Export TeamLonghai Technology has always insisted on innovation-driven development. Its annual R&D investment accounts for more than 5% of its annual revenue. It has established strategic cooperation with many universities and scientific research institutions to continuously optimize lubrication technology and promote industry progress. At present, the company's production base covers an area of 131 acres, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons. It is equipped with intelligent production lines and precision laboratories to meet the customized needs of different customers.
The company has advanced blending and fully automatic production and filling equipment. The filling production line adopts the principle of metering filling, which is suitable for filling various lubricating oils and ensures the filling accuracy of 1‰-2‰. While ensuring the filling accuracy, it increases the filling speed by 20%-35%, effectively increases the work efficiency, and realizes the standardized production of the enterprise. It guarantees the delivery speed and quality of our company to a great extent.
The company has passed ISO-9001-2015 quality system certification, 14001 environmental management system certification, 18001 health management system certification. Automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz certification has laid the foundation for the healthy development of the company and the stability of product quality. We strictly follow international standards (such as ISO, DIN, ASTM) and introduce foreign production processes and testing technologies to ensure that the products can still perform excellently under extreme working conditions, helping customers improve equipment efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.

How we guarantee smooth import clearances, KEBS standard alignment, and efficient maritime transport to Mombasa Port.
Importing lubricating oils into Kenya requires conformity to strict national standards governed by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). Shandong Longhai streamlines this importing process for local distributors. Our laboratory works in close alignment with SGS, Bureau Veritas, and Intertek to conduct Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) testing. We ensure that every container of Anti-wear Hydraulic Oil exported from our Zibo blending facility is issued a Certificate of Conformity (CoC), guaranteeing hassle-free custom clearance at Mombasa Port and preventing delays that could impact your supply chain.
Understanding the vital flow of logistics, Longhai optimizes marine shipping routes. Located close to Qingdao Port, our facility ensures that shipping containers are packed efficiently to avoid product damage during oceanic travel. We use high-tensile HDPE drums and sturdy iron barrels designed to withstand stacking inside sea containers, along with flexitanks for bulk industrial purchasers. Standard sea transport transit times from Qingdao to Mombasa are typically 25 to 35 days, and we manage all booking and paperwork to secure prompt delivery dates.
