56%<\/span><\/p>\nof premature bearing failures are caused by contamination and inadequate lubrication<\/p>\n
More than half of your bearing damage is therefore a lubrication problem, not a bearing problem.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
up to 33%<\/span><\/p>\nless lubricant consumption<\/p>\n
By switching from manual to automatic lubrication. Less grease, precisely dosed, at the right moment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
30 min<\/span><\/p>\nper vehicle per maintenance cycle<\/p>\n
That’s how much time correct manual lubrication of a commercial vehicle costs. Automation gives that time back to your workshop.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
40\u201360%<\/span><\/p>\nof your maintenance costs stem from inadequate lubrication<\/p>\n
While lubricants themselves account for only 2 to 3% of your operating costs. A hugely skewed ratio.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the ROI model SKF applies to road transport, they factor in at least <\/span>95%<\/span> fewer man-hours spent on lubrication, at least <\/span>50%<\/span> fewer man-hours on repairs, and at least <\/span>50%<\/span> lower replacement cost for slack adjusters and tie-rod ends. For rail: correct wheel-flange lubrication can <\/span>double<\/span> wheel service life; wayside rail lubrication extends rail life three to six times.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\nSources: SKF publications on lubrication solutions for commercial vehicles and rail rolling stock.
<\/i>Your results depend on fleet type, number of lubrication points, duty profile and your current lubrication practice \u2014 we map that out during a fleet scan.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\t\tFour levels of lubrication:
where does your fleet stand today?<\/p>\n
\t<\/b><\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n
Not every vehicle deserves the same level of lubrication. A trailer that runs twice a month calls for something different than a refuse truck making hundreds of pressing cycles a day, or a tram grinding its wheel flange against the rail in every tight curve. SKF builds the four levels modularly. Euroquip determines with you which level pays off fastest per vehicle type.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Level 1 \u00b7 Basic<\/span><\/p>\nManual lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
The right tool for the points you deliberately keep manual<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SKF Lincoln 1882-E<\/b> \u2014 20V Li-ion cordless grease gun, for faster and more consistently dosed lubrication rounds in the workshop<\/li>\n
- 1142 \/ 1151 \/ 1035<\/b> \u2014 hand grease guns, also with a flexible hose for points only reachable from under the vehicle<\/li>\n
- LAGN 120<\/strong> \u2014 grease fitting kit with 120 conical fittings, to standardize lubrication points across your entire fleet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Strong in:<\/strong> low investment, direct control, suited to vehicles with low annual mileage and easily accessible points.<\/p>\nLimits:<\/strong> correct manual lubrication takes about 30 minutes per vehicle per maintenance cycle \u2014 and that’s the time when every point is actually reached. Between two rounds the grease film runs dry and contamination gets in; over-grease it instead and you strain the seal and send excess grease onto the street or platform. Manual lubrication swings between too little and too much.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 2 \u00b7 Consolidation<\/span><\/p>\nSemi-automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
Bringing twenty-five lubrication points down to one<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SSV<\/strong> \u2014 progressive divider block, distributes grease from one supply point across multiple outlet points in a fixed, verifiable sequence<\/li>\n
- SSVD<\/strong> \u2014 adjustable progressive divider block, for when the points need different amounts from one another<\/li>\n
- VPK<\/strong> \u2014 sectional progressive divider block for larger or mixed bodies<\/li>\n
- Armored, canvas, polyamide, steel tubing<\/b> \u2014 pre-filled high-pressure hoses made to measure, plus plastic tubing, protected against stone chip and road salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What it delivers:<\/strong> a trailer with up to 22 lubrication points is served through one central divider block. Instead of crawling under the vehicle and hunting point by point, your technician lubricates one accessible point on the chassis rail. Distribution is mechanical and forced: if one outlet blocks, the whole block stops.<\/p>\nIdeal for:<\/strong> trailers and semi-trailers with low usage, older vehicles where you’re not ready to go fully automatic yet, and workshops that want to halve the turnaround time of a lubrication round.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 3 \u00b7 Continuous \u00b7 Most chosen in road transport<\/span><\/p>\nFully automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
Lubricating while the vehicle is moving \u2014 exactly when the bearing needs it<\/em><\/p>\nFor road vehicles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- CLP \/ PLP \/ P203<\/strong> \u2014 electrically driven compact grease pumps for the chassis rail or heavy bodies<\/li>\n
- KFG<\/strong> \u2014 electrically driven grease pump, also as a reservoir and circulation unit<\/li>\n
- LMC 2<\/strong> \u2014 control and monitoring unit for progressive and dual-line systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For rail vehicles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- SKF EasyRail Compact \/ LP \/ HP<\/strong> \u2014 wheel-flange lubrication with spray nozzle, pump and curve sensor<\/li>\n
- SKF EasyRail Airless<\/strong> \u2014 for trams and metros with no compressed air (with electromagnetic PER pumps)<\/li>\n
- Wayside systems along the track<\/strong> \u2014 WIPER BAR and TOR BAR fed by solar-powered pumps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why this matters heavily in transport:<\/strong> lubrication happens while the axle is turning. Dosing is fixed, so both running dry and over-greasing disappear. Frequent small doses actively flush dirt, road salt, dust and water out of bushings and bearings, instead of grinding it in. And your technicians no longer need to go under the vehicle for routine lubrication.<\/p>\nSmart detail (trailer with changing tractor units):<\/strong> the system sits on the trailer itself and runs off the brake-light power supply. A controller uses vibration measurement to track how long the trailer has actually been in use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 4 \u00b7 Data<\/span><\/p>\nConnected lubrication (SKF eLube \/ IoT)<\/b><\/h3>\n
See what your fleet is lubricating, without calling a single vehicle in<\/em><\/p>\n\n- CLP \/ PLP Smart \/ P253 Smart<\/strong> \u2014 connected grease pumps with three operating modes: time-based, counter-based and progressive cycle-based<\/li>\n
- Datalog controller<\/strong> \u2014 compact controller enabling data logging and giving the driver control from the cab, readable via Bluetooth<\/li>\n
- SKF eLube app<\/strong> \u2014 connects automatically to all eLube products in range<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What you do with it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Read fill level, operating status and mode without lifting or stopping the vehicle<\/li>\n
- Spot a blocked line or empty reservoir within minutes instead of at the next round<\/li>\n
- Start a test lubrication cycle from your phone, for example at the handover of a retrofit<\/li>\n
- View a log of all faults and events; reports are saved automatically<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why this is relevant in transport:<\/strong> a fleet is spread out. The log shows that lubrication happened, when and how much. In a warranty claim (on a kingpin or slew ring), that’s the difference between assuming and proving. For rail there’s SKF Multilog IMx-Rail<\/strong> for rail-certified online condition monitoring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.euroquip.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/smeersysteem-transport-2_upscayl_4x_upscayl-standard-4x.png\" "\\"smeersysteem-transport-2_upscayl_4x_upscayl-standard-4x\\"")
