Auto salvage yards drain oil, coolant, and fuel from vehicles. Follow your state’s storm water and used-oil rules for collection, storage, and disposal.
Shock loads and sharp metal
Scrap handling punctures hoses and shocks pins. Inspect daily, keep spill kits at every machine, and grease on the maker’s heavy-duty schedule.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Material handlers and grapples
Scrap handlers run hydraulics hard all day; match the maker’s grade and change filters on schedule.
