FROM -BUSES -TRUCKS -TRAINS -CONSTRUCTION -MINING -AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT MANY OF TODAY’S FLEETS INCUR THE HIGH AND HIDDEN COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTDATED METHOD OF MANUAL LUBRICATION. LUBRICATION IS A CRITICAL PART OF ANY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, AND HAS A DIRECT EFFECT ON FLEET RELIABILITY. WHEN PERFORMED MANUALLY, HOWEVER, LUBRICATION CAUSES SEVERAL CHALLENGES. With today's intense deployment of fleet, many companies are struggling with their ability to maintain their fleet between preventative maintenance intervals. When you manually grease a piece of equipment, that requires that you shut that equipment down, the operator then has to climb on or in & around that piece of equipment & that results in human error. They may over look a greasing point, which could cause the premature failure of a component, which will add to repair maintenance costs to the organization. THE HIGH COSTS OF MACHINERY DOWNTIME AND THE INEFFECTIVE MANUAL PROCESS OF LUBRICATION ARE DRIVING MANY OF TODAY’S FLEET MANAGERS TO IMPLEMENT ALTERNATIVE METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES. A SUBSIDIARY OF GROENEVELD GROUP, GROENEVELD LUBRICATION SOLUTIONS IS A LEADING PROVIDER OF AUTOMATED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS DESIGNED FOR: -TRANSPORT -OFF-ROAD -BUS -MUNICIPAL -INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS Groeneveld was established in 1971 over in the Netherlands & we quickly rolled out globally & we operate in 30 countries around the world. We moved over to North America approximately 25 years ago & we have a very strong footprint through it, Canada & United States. GROENEVELD’S AUTOMATED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS PUT AN END TO MANUAL LUBRICATION, PROVIDING THE PRECISE AMOUNT OF GREASE TO APPLICATION POINTS AT SPECIFIC TIMES. THE SYSTEMS FEATURE: -TIMER -PUMP -RESERVOIR -METERING VALVES -FITTINGS -SUPPLY LINES. Here at Groeneveld we have a many different types of pumps & products but they all work under the same principal. They deliver grease from the pump out to distribution blocks, where there is a measured amount delivered to secondary grease points. This whole system runs off a timer which either can be air activated or electronically activated. LUBRICATION TAKES PLACE WHILE THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT IS IN OPERATION, SPREADING THE GREASE OPTIMALLY OVER THE WHOLE BEARING OR SURFACE. Automated lubrication system provides small amounts of grease at the right intervals, allowing the machine to be in operation while delivering this grease ensures that the bearings will be thoroughly covered with grease & it will flush all contaminates. We’ve been using Groeneveld’s TWIN auto lube systems successfully on over 120 pieces of our rental fleet equipment & we're in the midst of adding it to 50 more units this year. We found the TWIN system to be a very effective part of our rental fleet maintenance program, as it prevents costly lubrication-related failures. GROENEVELD -DESIGNS -DEVELOPS -PRODUCES THE AUTOMATED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS AT ITS MODERN, ISO-CERTIFIED MANUFACTURING PLANT IN ITALY. THE SYSTEMS ARE RIGOROUSLY TESTED TO GUARANTEE AN EXTENDED LIFE AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION, EVEN UNDER THE MOST EXTREME CONDITIONS. By utilizing Groeneveld's automated lubrications system, you can ensure that your fleet is going to be properly lubricated at all times. If you couple that with preventative maintenance program, you'll see increased utilization to your fleet as well as increased residual value & reduced repair maintenance cost. Purolator has been a Groeneveld customer for the past 10 years. We utilize the system on all of our: -trailers -tractors -straight trucks -yard shunters The past four years, we started utilizing the system on our curb sides. What we are trying to do is reduce our overall lifecycle cost & reduce the fleet downtime as well. I think we've been very successful in achieving both objectives. AS INDUSTRY CONTINUES TO DEMAND TOP FLEET PERFORMANCE, GROENEVELD WILL MAINTAIN ITS ROLE PROVIDING INNOVATIVE, AUTOMATED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS THAT KEEP VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT MOVING.
