Graco’s WheelMaster dramatically reduces wheel and rail wear for:

• Overhead cranes
• Straddle cranes
• Industrial locomotives
• Other material handling equipment running on steel rails

WheelMaster’s block lubricant reduces the coefficient of friction to about one-fourth that on dry rails. This reduces the wear that causes rework or replacement of wheel and rail. In most applications, less power has to be transferred to the wheels to get machinery moving and keep it rolling. The reduction in energy usage may amount to 5% or more.

The solid lubricant block used in WheelMaster is longlasting; it eliminates waste and contamination associated with oil and lighter grease lubricants; and much less lubricant is required. In typical applications, WheelMaster applies less than 2% of the lubricating material used with conventional grease systems. Because manual lubrication is eliminated, routine maintenance cost decreases as well.

WheelMaster can be used indoors or outside. There can be no run-off, no chance of accidental spills, or other handling problems.
