TECHNICAL TRAINING—GREASING 101

By Jeff Leadstrom, Manager Fleet Maintenance

Let’s face it, greasing is not the most exciting task at Lo-
ram. All too often it’s taken for granted, anyone can grab
a grease gun and “grease” the machine, right? This task is
usually assigned to a newer, or the newest crew member
of the machine. More than likely this individual has never
held or used a grease gun. I know my first day at Loram I
became very good friends with the grease bucket, by the
end of the shift I think I had more grease on myself than in
the machine. Top it off with the fact that there a lot of
grease fittings on our equipment. An average grind car has
over 200 grease fittings. It’s a dirty, repetitive, and some-
times an endless job that we assign to individuals that
more than likely have never done it before.
