Is there ANYONE that actually understands all the different greases/oils/lubes?
Hi, I'm a forklift 'service engineer', which basically means that people drive the soul out of their forklifts (and any other logistical machinery) and I gotta keep em running somehow.
Now theres not really anything about the hudraulics, electrical systems or mechanical parts that baffle me anymore.
But man I feel like everyone has an opinion on what kind of grease/oil/lube is best for a given application but nobody EVER can explain it.
They all lubricate but theyre all different. The label usually doesnt make you any wiser other than maybe specifying this is also food industry grade or plastic safe or high temp resistant etc,...
There are ones based on lithium, based on teflon,... I have 0 clue what the hell that means for me.
Im not sure what im asking, I think its more of a rant tbh but if anyone can tell me how I can start understanding this black magic, its highly appreciated.
