Automatic Lubrication for Construction Equipment
In a typical construction machine, lubricants amount to 2-3% of running costs. But 56% of premature bearing failures are caused by contamination and inadequate lubrication practices.
That’s why we talk not only about lubrication but also about lubrication lifetime solutions as an essential part of machine operation and vehicle maintenance.
We can never avoid failures of components exposed to friction, but with combined data insights and means of intervention, we can safeguard effectiveness and reliability, supporting asset health and sustainability. Using technology to improve the way we use our resources responsibly.
This is the next step in machine care.
