3 Tips for Winterizing Your Heavy Equipment
With the help of their sister-brand, PennAir, GreasePoint offers inspection and repair services for your Graco grease and oil pumps.
With a very flexible communication platform, GreaseAlert communicates with any brand of pump or controller with data output capabilities.
The GreasePoint team is committed to offering technical excellence, superior customer service, and world-class solutions. We work closely with specialized manufacturers providing high-quality products for on-road vehicles, off-road equipment, industrial machinery, petroleum handling equipment and other fluid handling applications.
Extend the life of your Heavy Duty Trucks, Trailers, Machinery, Off-Road Equipment, and Yellow Iron with Precise & Consistent Flow Lubrication.
Whether you work in maintenance, operations, or management, the pressure you experience each day is mounting. Our job is to identify the lubrication system that best fits your needs, allowing you to focus on what matters most – freeing you to leave work at work.
GreasePoint is proud to be an authorized full-service distributor of LubeCon USA and AFEX Fire Suppression. We will be representing these brands within the Mid-Atlantic region.
Click on the image to see all the points you can automatically lubricate on construction equipment while you work:
Inspection of Automatic Lubrication systems is completed on-site by fully trained technicians. The service we provide maximizes equipment availability while minimizing unscheduled downtime and maintenance breaks.
Did you know, at a minimum, heavy equipment should be greased every eight (8) hours of operation daily? However, some lubrication points have different greasing intervals. It can quickly become overwhelming.
Apply grease while the machine is in motion so you don’t have to stop what you’re doing or set aside time to lubricate it.
Reduce maintenance costs and minimize downtime by extending the life of pivots, bushings, and components.
Lessen the amount of grease that comes out of the system due to over-lubrication and goes where it shouldn’t.
Reduce or eliminate climbing over and under machinery or into difficult-to-reach areas.
Automatic lubrication systems on stationary equipment consistently dispense lubricant: increasing safety and reducing breakdowns. Greasing machinery in motion provides consistent lubricant coverage to critical bearings and other wear components.
By utilizing Consistent Flow Lubrication for heavy duty trucks, our customers achieve:
Applications:
Streamline your workflow and move more lubricants through your shop with quality equipment to meet the varying needs of vehicle maintenance and repair. GreasePoint offers reliable, high-quality equipment you can depend on for fuel, diesel, antifreeze, oil and grease.
GreaseAlert is an exclusive Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) remote lubrication monitoring system. It proactively communicates with equipment managers alerting them to potential problems and avoiding catastrophic failures.
15% of bearing failures result from insufficient lubrication quantity. Automatic lubrication systems provide small amounts of lubricant at consistent intervals, reducing the consumption of lubricant and ensuring the right amount is applied. This does not only save on the costs of oil and grease, it also protects the environment.
Unlike manual lubrication, automatic lubrication systems do not require the equipment to be shut down in order to add more oil and grease. Lock-out and tag-out procedures can be avoided, keeping the machines running while the lubrication system adds the right amount of lubricant at the right time, drastically cutting your labor and downtime.
Automatic systems measure the exact amount of lubricant required. Waste, product contamination and housekeeping issues are substantially reduced. Improved lubrication for bearings, gears and chains translates to lower friction and lower energy consumption.
Providing your equipment with the right amount of lubricant reduces wear and extends equipment life. Automatic lubrication releases a thin layer of oil/grease between moving parts. Components will be protected against wear and will last longer without the direct metal-to-metal contact.
In manually lubricated environments, a machine technician uses a grease gun to lube machine parts. Some of the vital components are difficult to reach and require climbing onto the equipment. Avoid this safety risk by the installing an automatic lubrication system.
An investment in an automatic lubrication system for a typical piece of yellow iron, such as the Caterpillar 320 excavator, has an estimated ROI of as little as nine months. – ©Graco
