Description
LUBE-A-BOOM is a calcium sulfonate complex thickened lubricating grease formulated in a 100 percent synthetic base fluid specifically for use on cranes, aerial lifts, shooting boom forklifts, hydraulic telescoping excavators and material handling equipment.
The synthetic fluid combined with an anti-oxidant provides stability for extended lubrication life. LUBE-A-BOOM is fortified with molybdenum disulfide (moly) as well as PTFE to reduce friction encountered in sliding surfaces. Because LUBE-A-BOOM meets or exceeds the specifications for EP-MPG and WPG grease, it can be used for other lubrication points on the machine.
LUBE-A-BOOM has been tested for compatibility with wear pads and seals on mobile cranes and meets the specifications for Grove Equipment WPG and EP-MPG. LUBE-A-BOOM contains no undesirable additives such as antimony, lead, chlorine, or zinc. Typical characteristic and benefits are listed below.
Benefits
- Water and saltwater resistance
- Remains free flowing in temperatures as low as -40°F
- Protects against rust and corrosion
- Smoother surface contact between wear pads and boom sections
- Compatible with most conventional lubricants
- Reduces friction and improves wear pad life
- Reduces maintenance intervals
- Non-toxic, protecting the user and environmentally friendly
- Outlasts petroleum based greases
- Won’t run or drip in temperatures up to 300°F
- Formulated for telescoping booms
