Cranes and telescopic boom lifts work in all kinds of weather conditions and are constantly being exposed to the elements.  Conventional grease forms a base into which dust gets stuck, which drips in hot weather and hardens in the winter. As a result, cranes and other types of lifting machinery with telescopic and articulating booms do not always function properly. Telescopic and articulating booms sliding in and out not using proper lubrication can cause damage to boom sections and cylinders which, in turn, cause the load at the end of the boom to swing making the boom sections over time very hard to clean and they become damaged. With advances in technology companies like Lube-A-Boom have solved this issue with a product line of Friction Reducing Lubricants to ensure your crane, lift or machine run smoother, safer, and longer.
