Lubrication Technologies’ Showcase
Kenworth W900 Tri-Axle Dump
Project Overview:
This Kenworth W900 Tri-Axle Dump was outfitted with a ReliaMAX™ Automatic Lubrication System to streamline maintenance and improve reliability in heavy-duty service. The system lubricates 40 chassis points, including kingpins, drag-link and steering box pivots, S-cams, slack adjusters, spring hangers, shackles, and clutch linkages, and 11 body points on the dump assembly such as upper dump cylinder pins, cylinder collars, dump pins, tailgate hinges, and lift-cylinder pins. Consistent grease delivery to these high-wear areas reduces friction and helps extend component life.
A 4 kg ReliaMAX™ electric grease pump supplies Almagard® Vari-Purpose Lubricant (3751), an NLGI 1 grease formulated for shock loads and resistance to water washout. This combination ensures consistent grease delivery while the vehicle is in operation, improving uptime and minimizing manual labor.
By automating the lubrication process, this installation not only enhances equipment longevity but also increases productivity and reduces the chance of missed grease points, making it a reliable solution for demanding fleet applications.
