Waste Haulers
 |
Garbage or refuse collection is part of any government's policies. These types of vehicles include garbage, scrap (roll-off), dumpsters, compactors and yard trash collection units. Due to the harsh conditions caused by dirt, moisture, heat and cold, Lubrication Engineers products have proven to meet these challenges. |
The transport trucks used by waste disposal companies run for long intervals with a lot of stop and go driving, setting and idling. The environment is usually very damp and dirty with a wide temperature variation. This type of service can cause extensive soot accumulation and possible full dilution of the engine oil. For these situations, L.E. recommends the following engine products:
Trucks may be equipped with either a manual transmission or with a powershift/automatic transmission. Dirt, moisture, heavy loads and overheating can be common problems due to frequent stop and start driving. For automatic and powershift transmissions, we recommend:
For manual transmissions, L.E. recommends:
Standard differentials are commonly used. These are manufactured by Eaton, Rockwell and Spicer/Dana. Common problems: dirt, moisture, shock, heavy loads and start and stop driving. For these concerns, LE recommends:
U-joints and suspensions include drivelines, kingpins, spring shackle pins & steering components. Typical issues include dirt, moisture, shock, heavy loads, stop and start driving & driver abuse. L.E.'s high quality greases ALMAGARD Vari-Purpose Lubricants are ideal for these conditions.
LE also carries a wide variety of products designed to solve concerns in wheel bearings, hydraulics, chains and cables, tracks and open gears. If there are concerns, talk to a lubrication specialist by contacting your local LE distributor. Help LE to reduce wear everywhere and make friction fiction!
