Using this tool, the lubrication work on PU-5858L QSL wire rope can be pressed up to 30 minutes in every preventive maintenance exercise. Another advantage of using the wire rope lubrication tool can minimize the occurrence of grease droplets so as to avoid potential environmental pollution, improved lubrication quality by 29%, increased cost efficiency, time of workmanship by 67%, decrease of potential of environmental pollution by 67%, and decrease in employment injury opportunities by 40%.
