Boom Pivot Points:
Lubricate the joints and pivot points along the boom using high-quality lithium-based grease. This ensures the smooth extension and retraction of the boom, contributing to overall stability during lifting operations.
Lifting Mechanism:
Apply lubrication to gear mechanisms, bearings, and sliding surfaces within the lifting mechanism using heavy-duty, anti-wear hydraulic oil or grease. This lubrication is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and extending the life of components responsible for vertical movement.
Swivel Points:
Lubricate swivel joints and bearings with high-performance, anti-corrosion grease. Proper lubrication in these points is essential for facilitating the smooth rotation of the crane, ensuring safe and efficient maneuverability.
Wheel Bearings (for mobile cranes):
Apply lubrication to wheel bearings and axle joints using multi-purpose wheel bearing grease. This lubrication is necessary to maintain smooth movement and reduce friction in the wheel assembly of mobile shop cranes.
Cable Drum and Wire Rope:
Lubricate drum bearings and wire rope using wire rope lubricant or as specified by the manufacturer. This ensures efficient operation of the cable drum and prolongs the life of the wire rope, preventing issues related to friction and wear.
Telescoping Sections (if applicable):
Lubricate joints and sliding surfaces of telescoping sections using heavy-duty lithium grease or as specified by the manufacturer. Proper lubrication in these areas is essential for smooth extension and retraction of telescoping sections, contributing to the overall functionality of the shop crane.
