Tower crane fluids to compare

Wire ropes need rope dressing

A1’s catalog does not list a wire rope lubricant. Use the rope maker’s product and inspection schedule.

Service before the climb

Plan grease and gearbox checks with the erection crew so climbing-section points are done while they are still easy to reach.

Fluids by compartment.

Confirm the fluid type, grade, and specifications in the tower crane maker’s manual before ordering. These examples are not a fitment result for a specific machine.

Slewing ring and pinion

Slewing bearings take the grease grade the crane maker lists; open pinions may need a dedicated open-gear lubricant.

Hoist, trolley, and slew gearboxes

Some makers specify an SAE gear oil; others specify ISO 220–320 industrial gear oil, which A1’s catalog does not list. Use the maker’s product.

Climbing hydraulics

The climbing unit’s power pack lists a fluid type and grade.

Sheaves, pins, and jib pivots

Grease points across the jib and mast follow the chart.
