On average 30% of Truck Fifth Wheel grease is wasted

Truck Fifth Wheel Covers Millions of pounds of grease are washed off 5th wheels in this country every year. This not only has a huge impact on the environment causing water pollution but is also extremely costly to haulage and logistic businesses. During application a significant amount of grease is either dropped in the workshop or falls off onto the tractor unit making the tractor unit dirty, unsightly and uncomfortable to work in. Greasy residue on surfaces and on the ground can prove hazardous during hitching and can cause individuals to slip on the ground and on the back of tractor units. This has considerable implications from a health and safety view point in and in particular from an employer’s liability perspective. On average 30% of 5th wheel grease is wasted.

Based on a resource cost of £12ph each one offers a potential saving of over £300 in grease costs per truck in the first year and a potential saving of £400.00 in each of the second and third year.
