Common grease applications
Commercial grease is used on bearings, chassis points, pins, bushings, fifth wheels, U-joints, hinges, agricultural equipment, and heavy equipment articulation points.
The best grease depends on load, speed, temperature, water exposure, contamination, compatibility, and whether an EP or multipurpose formulation is needed.
Why grease selection affects uptime
Under-greasing, over-greasing, or using incompatible grease can shorten component life. A consistent product and maintenance interval improves reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is grease used for?
Grease is used where lubrication must stay in place, such as bearings, pins, bushings, chassis points, fifth wheels, and exposed equipment joints.
Can different greases be mixed?
Mixing greases can cause compatibility problems, so maintenance teams should verify thickener and formulation compatibility before switching products.
