Crane Lubricant

About crane lubricant

Regular lubrication helps to increase the lifetime of a steel wire rope significantly compared to a wire rope that has not been lubricated. Also, lubricating a wire rope while in service helps to prevent corrosion of the wires. Corrosion can be internal and external, and it often is caused by acids, alkaline waters, salt air, humidity, fumes, and abrasive and industrial environments in general.
