Why Hydraulic Oils Should Not Be Mixed
Mixing hydraulic oils could compromise the additive performance, cause corrosion of component surfaces and lead to increased mechanical wear
November 18, 2016
Mixing oils with different additive packages is never recommended. Doing so could compromise the additive performance of both constituents, cause corrosion of component surfaces and lead to increased mechanical wear.

A Better Approach for Greasing Construction Equipment Bearings
High-frequency detection technology can help you optimize the quantity of grease added to a bearing
October 6, 2016
Using vibration-monitoring equipment with “spike energy,” gSE or other high-frequency detection technology saves those on limited budgets from having to buy additional specialized greasing equipment with monitoring ability.

How to Select Synthetic Gear Oil for Construction Equipment
Synthetic gear oils are used whenever mineral gear oils have reached their performance limit and can no longer meet the application requirements
October 4, 2016
Because of their special molecular structure, synthetic lubricating oils based on poly-alphaolefins (a type of SHC) and polyglycols ensure that tooth-related friction is considerably lower than with mineral oils. It may be up to 30% lower than if a regular mineral gear oil with EP additives was used.
