![]() ![]() Millions of Lube-Shuttle® grease guns are sold around the world every month, and in time, this will be the format used in North America. They invented it over 15 years ago and it's become the global standard for grease guns. Lube-Shuttle® is made by Mato in Germany. Grease guns come in all the formats you'd expect, including electric (battery-operated) and even a spray greaser for crane booms, wire rope and chains. Changing a tube takes about 10 seconds, and creates no mess. The gun uses a vacuum head to 'suck' the grease out of the tube. They use a Lube-Shuttle ® cartridge.Ī Lube-Shuttle ® grease cartridge is threaded and goes in a Lube-Shuttle ® grease gun. In most of the rest of the industrialized world, they don't use the double open-ended grease tube like we do in Canada. Some have been adapted to use reservoirs instead since Lube-Shuttle® tubes have historically been less common in North America. Many auto-greasers are made specifically for Lube-Shuttle ® threaded cartridges. In controlled environments this can be a successful tactic. Others have gone to auto-greasers for their equipment. But this often results in over-greasing (blowing out seals, wasting grease) and operators still have to deal with the mess of changing a grease tube. Many organizations have gone to battery-operated grease guns for their operators to try to help. Our employees don't do the greasing they should. We hate them. They don't work reliably and they're messy. This is what we hear all the time: Our grease guns suck. Greasing is such a hassle that people all-too-frequently ignore the task, resulting in damaged equipment, waste, downtime, and costly repairs. Air exposed to the grease makes it harden. Out of a case of grease, at least one will get damaged and go in the garbage.īecause the grease gun isn't fully sealed at the bottom, the base oil separates and leaks out when it's not in use. ![]() Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Then a new one goes in, full of air that has to be bled from the gun as it's primed. When it's time to change a grease tube, users have to battle with the plunger to get it out, then remove a messy grease cartridge that still has 10-15% of its grease left in it. One thing that's common for every manual and electric grease gun is the spring and plunger design. Grease guns come in manual forms (pistol grip, lever grip), electric (battery-operated), and pneumatic (air driven, usually from a pail or 120 lb. All that's really happened is different styles of gun have been developed. The grease gun in the current form used most widely in North America was invented in 1916 - over a hundred years ago.
