Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of grease is APIL-2053 and what equipment does it work with?
A: APIL-2053 is a lithium-based multi-purpose grease designed for electric lift trucks and forklifts. It is compatible with equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar electric material handling equipment. This grease works across a wide range of applications including wheel bearings, load wheel assemblies, and drivetrain components.
Q: What are the material properties and performance benefits of this lithium grease?
A: Lithium-based greases like APIL-2053 offer excellent water resistance, oxidation stability, and mechanical stability under load. They perform well across moderate temperature ranges and provide good lubrication film strength for bearing and wheel applications common in electric lift equipment.
Q: How often should APIL-2053 grease be reapplied to equipment?
A: Reapplication intervals depend on equipment usage intensity and operating conditions. For standard electric pallet jacks and lift trucks under normal warehouse conditions, regreasing is typically recommended every 500-1000 operating hours or quarterly, whichever comes first. High-use equipment or harsh environments may require more frequent servicing.
Q: Can APIL-2053 be mixed with other grease types?
A: Do not mix APIL-2053 with other grease types unless both are lithium-based from the same manufacturer. Mixing incompatible greases can reduce lubricant effectiveness and cause equipment performance issues. If switching grease types, purge old grease from the application point before introducing a new product.
Q: What storage conditions are required for APIL-2053?
A: Store APIL-2053 in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture. The grease should be kept in its sealed original container to prevent contamination and oxidation. Proper storage conditions extend shelf life and maintain the grease performance for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of APIL-2053 grease once applied to equipment?
A: Once applied, APIL-2053 typically remains effective for 3-6 months under normal operating conditions or until the next scheduled regreasing interval. In cold storage environments or equipment with reduced usage, the grease may maintain effectiveness longer. Regular equipment inspections help determine if regreasing is needed before scheduled intervals.
