We have a prospect who purchased a crane that came with a lubrication system. The lubrication system, one with which we are very familiar with, did not do its job and the prospect had all of the pins and bushings replaced at a cost of several thousands of dollars. We suggested he have us install our lubrication system which is markedly superior engineering wise. He is resisting that as he believes that if the OEM spec'd out the system, they should know it's the correct system.
Some people you can try to help, others aren't interested and frankly we can't do anything with them so we move on. Helping is what my post was designed to do. In our business, we ask a question to which there is only one answer and if we get a hesitation or a no, we know we should be talking to someone else.
The question is rather simple: "Are you interested in continuous improvement"?
FWIW, I actually am an "expert" both in automatic lubrication systems as well as lubricants. 47 years doing the same thing and owner of the company.
If anyone would like to learn a bit more about lubrication systems, please check out an article I wrote several years ago. It's titled; "Automatic Lubrication Systems Don't Work!" Here's the link:
