In construction, mining, and quarrying today, many fleets suffer the high and hidden costs of manual lubrication. Along with these costs are the hassle of lost production and decreased component or equipment life. Some of the benefits of automated lubrication are:

• 30 minutes of increased productivity per shift
• Extended service intervals
• Lower lubricant consumption
• Increased operator and mechanic safety
• Reduced unplanned downtime
• Increased uptime reliability
• Greater equipment residual value

An Automated Lube System performs two critical functions. First, auto-lube systems grease pins and bushings with smaller amounts of grease more frequently. This is also performed while the equipment in motion which is optimal because by doing this, a dynamic grease seal is created. This cannot be done manually as equipment must be off. Also, Automated Lube Systems eliminate contamination which can be a headache.

Over 50% of all bearing failures are lubrication related. With automated lubrication solutions, regular lubrication purges pins and bushings first and lubricates second. Once a pin and bushing can operate with reduced or eliminated contamination, its life is increased by over 200%. In fact, it is not uncommon on certain types of equipment, for the pins and bushings to last the life of the machine with automated lubrication. Lastly, an auto-lube system eliminates the costly burden of frequent manual lubrication.

Lubritech automated lube installations increase the value of your machine by keeping the performance of your machine pristine. Laser-cut guarding that accompanies each system make it seem as if the system was "factory-installed" and are customized for your needs with a real attention to appearance which helps raise the residual value of your machine.
