Precision Grease & Oil Delivery Systems

Reduced Costs. Improved Safety. Consistent Results.

These days, businesses are up against three main issues:

A shortage of qualified maintenance personnel – Skilled labor is increasingly difficult to find and retain.
Inconsistent lubrication practices – Manual greasing often leads to missed points, over-greasing, or under-greasing, resulting in premature wear and unplanned downtime.
Ongoing safety risks – Technicians are frequently required to work at heights, near moving parts, or in hazardous environments to perform manual lubrication.

A Guardian Automatic Lubrication System directly addresses these challenges:

Labor Savings – At an average fully burdened rate of $60/hour, a single maintenance tech performing manual lubrication on a large asset can spend several hours per week greasing equipment. Over a year, this can equal $6,000–$15,000 per asset in labor alone—before factoring in travel time, overtime, or production stoppages.
Reduced Downtime Costs – Consistent, automatic lubrication prevents bearing failures, chain wear, and other lubrication-related breakdowns—reducing unscheduled downtime that can cost thousands per hour in lost production.
Safety ROI – Eliminating the need to manually grease while equipment is operating or in hard-to-reach areas drastically reduces risk exposure, lowering injury potential, worker’s compensation claims, and lost-time incidents.
Consistency and Accuracy – Every lubrication point receives the right amount, at the right time, every time—extending component life and eliminating the hidden costs of poor lubrication practices.

Bottom Line:
Installing a Guardian Automatic Lubrication System typically pays for itself within 6–18 months through labor savings, extended component life, reduced downtime, and improved safety performance. In an environment where skilled labor is scarce and every minute of uptime matters, the ROI is both measurable and immediate.
