Improper lubrication at Polskamp Meat Industrie on components such as conveyor belts, freezers and delay buckets can lead to high repair costs and downtime of the production.

At Riwald Recycling in Almelo, the cranes and grabs rotate all day long and an extremely high amount of a great deal of force on the moving parts. It is important to apply the right lubrication to prevent corrosion and wear.

Many trucks are equipped with parabolic springs. The ends of the springs are lubricated for articulation. The radiant heat from regenerating the DPF in the exhaust makes the mechanism very hot.

Van den Boogaard is specialized in transport, heavy salvage, and crane rental. The equipment must be available day and night under all circumstances.

In Bolk Transport's situation, an additional fifth wheel is usually needed per truck lifetime. With the use of Eurol Specialty, this is no longer necessary!

The transmission oils have to protect all lubricated parts during the complete Dakar Rally with minimal friction and wear. The previously used products were acceptable but wear was still higher than desirable.

Too much wear on components and too many different oils in use. Also, the life span of the oil has to be at least 6 Dakar Rally stages.

The original ZF automatic transmission fluid was not developed for racing conditions. In addition, the wear was relatively high and the viscosity increased significantly during the Dakar Rally.

During the Dakar Rally, the engine runs at full load for hours. In these conditions, the engine oil often becomes contaminated with grains of sand as well as fuel. A regular 10W-60 cannot protect the engine against cylinder wear

In the previous editions of the Dakar Rally, a standard 75W-140 transmission oil was used for the Beast of Coronel. This resulted in quite a high amount of wear particles (iron and copper) in the analysed oil samples.
