Customer Profile
Darryl Beatty Excavation does business in a multiple county area in western Pennsylvania. Darryl Beatty is the owner and operator and has been in business and an LE customer since 1990.
Application
A Caterpillar 110B backhoe is used to dig ditches, foundations and grave sites.
Challenge
The environment is very messy. When it’s not dusty and dirty, it’s wet and muddy. Because of the harsh environment the backhoe operates in, pins can experience a shortened life span. In worst cases a pin can freeze-up, causing a work stoppage and very expensive repair bill of $6,000 or more.
LE Solution
David Hayes, LE lubrication consultant, recommended Almaplex Industrial Lubricant (1275), which is an excellent general purpose EP lubricant. It is very effective in severe operations caused by moisture or high temperatures. Almaplex Industrial Lubricant seals out dirt and water and prevents corrosive wear.
Results
In 20 years of using LE’s Almaplex 1275, Darryl has never lost a single pin. The only line boring work he had done was to his last backhoe. Without losing a pin and with 12,000 hours on the unit, Darryl had the backhoe line bored and rebushed. Darryl Beatty excavation has saved thousands of dollars in parts, labor and reduced downtime with the use of LE’s Almaplex 1275.
