The importance of changing your grease according to temperature.

Since the summer, have you changed your grease to a more fluid lubricant?

If it hasn’t already been done, don’t wait until the last minute to change your grease. Cold weather is right around the corner!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grease is the key element to your lubrication system.

 

The type of grease chosen is particularly important to keep the system running and will impact the efficiency. Thick grease can cause several problems when temperatures are very cold.

Pumpability of a more fluid grease (EP-0) compared to thicker grease (EP-2) in winter, will help your system work at lower pressure and will help achieve optimal performance.

Below 0°C, EP-2 grease will be very difficult to pump in an automatic greasing system. For example, even though it is indicated on the EP-2 tube that it is pumpable up to -10°C, the grease will not be able to move in the automatic greasing system because of the internal width of the hoses and distribution valves which create restriction. Therefore, reduce the viscosity of the grease to get the optimal performance you need.

Should you still use a thicker grease in the winter, use a synthetic grease instead of a mineral grease. We recommend EP-1 synthetic grease or EP-0 mineral grease in all areas below 48th parallel, as well as temperatures up to -40°C. After that, you will have to downgrade or use full synthetic or more fluid grease.  

 

Characteristics

After analyzing the working conditions of your automatic greasing system, here are the recommendations concerning the choice of the grease to use. 

 

 

 

 

      

 

Mixing different types of grease may damage your system.

Before changing your grease, make sure the new grease is compatible with the current grease.

 

 

 

 

Procedures to bleed your system

In order to avoid mixing greases, it is strongly advised to bleed your system. The Alltech Group proposes you a grease replacement procedures in order to avoid damaging your system.

Sentinel 1.0 safety devices for dump truck - Complies with the Tipping Device Safety Regulations

It's official now!

 

Since April 24, 2019 the Regulation concerning safety devices for dump truck was officially published in the Gazette officielle du Québec. Take note that it will come into effect on September 1, 2020.

 

The content of the Regulation is available on the Publications du Québec website.

 

 

Sentinel 1.0 safety devices for dump truck - Complies with the Tipping Device Safety Regulations

 

Following this publication, our professional team took the time to analyze all the characteristics requested. Be sure that the Sentinel 1.0 safety devices complies with these new regulations. All the technical characteristics are respected.

 

Several questions were raised.

This official publication raises several questions. In order to respond, the SAAQ has created a Q & A document on safety devises on dump trucks, where most of the questions have been answered.

 

  • Is April 18, 2019 the deadline to equip the targeted vehicles? 
  • Should the devices be approved by the SAAQ?
  • What is the speed limit before the alarm is activated?
  • Should the alarm stop after 2 seconds and then reactivate at 20 km/h?

OKO Long Life; new OKO product

OKO Life Long Wheel & Tire Life Extender

Designed for Mining and Construction vehicles where rims corrode and tires are worn out in months

 

Not a sealant! 

Life Long is a free-flowing liquid formulated in a whole new way, incorporating cutting-edge technology. The nanotechnology lays down a thin layer, cleaning and protecting steel or alloy rims. UV component brightly shows up bead/o-ring/rim leaks and tire slits, in the workshop for rapid action

 

Liquid prevents air loss, cools and conditions the rubber:

On average, achieving 30% longer tire life

 

 

OKO LifeLong is a major step forward in heavy-duty wheel and tyre protection. It does more for both than any previous generation of product.

 

The weak points of similar products often include the lack of protection for static rims from the moisture-heavy air inside the tyre; the inability to protect alloys; either no anti-freeze to cool the tires or harmful types of product being used; no clear indication of leaks; and the depletion of product that can lead to instructions to top up by 20% after a time..

Life Long overcomes all of those issues and is the natural choice for operators. It will not clog valves or TPMS, and it is biodegradable. The carboxylate technology of the liquid even succeeds in cleaning away pre-existing rust so rims can look better after use than before! Nitrogen fill can be used after fitting Life Long, but actually why would you bother with the extra expense when this product generates such a massive improvement in tire life?

OKO Life Long is primarily designed for use off the highway, and only in tubeless tires. It can also be used on road for heavy trucks and service vehicles, having observed OKO’s recommended dosage quantities.
