Warm, wet greenhouse air and fertilizer salts corrode exposed metal. Keep grease points serviced, protect stored equipment, and follow the maker’s guidance for corrosive environments.
Heat and water cannot wait for power
A greenhouse in winter depends on boilers, fans, and controls. Exercise the standby generator on a schedule and keep its fuel tested and treated.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Loaders, forklifts, and tractors
Skid steers, compact tractors, and forklifts move soil, pots, and pallets. Match each maker’s hydraulic and engine requirements.
Irrigation and boiler-room pumps follow the pump maker’s bearing lubricant. A heat or irrigation failure during an outage can cost a crop; keep generators ready.
