Grease points get skipped under jobsite pressure
When the schedule is tight, the daily grease round is the first thing to slip. Each machine carries dozens of points, and the ones that get missed are the ones that fail.
INDUSTRIAL VERTICAL
Reliability for Construction Fleets and Jobsites
Excavators, loaders, cranes, and dozers run mixed operators, tight schedules, and dust-and-water jobsites — with dozens of grease points per machine. Armor distributes the centralized lubrication and contamination-control parts that protect uptime, repair budgets, and resale value.
Where Construction reliability programs run into trouble
Three issues we hear most from construction maintenance and reliability teams.
Shared and rented machines get inconsistent care
Mixed operators and rotating rental units mean no one owns the lubrication. Automatic systems take the human variable out of it.
Dust and water wash out the grease
Open jobsites pack joints with grit and spray that strips lubricant off bearing surfaces. Sealed delivery plus reservoir contamination control keeps the film where it belongs.
Solutions for construction operations
Application-level guidance with the products that solve them.
Automatic Lubrication Systems
Centralized systems pump grease from a single reservoir through metering valves to dozens of bearing points on a programmed cycle. Armor distributes the pumps, controllers, distribution valves, and tubing that build them.
Read moreBearing Lubrication
Bearings fail when grease film thins below the critical separation point. Armor distributes the automatic lubrication systems and grease-monitoring tools that keep film thickness consistent and predictable, regardless of duty cycle.
Read moreContamination Control
Contamination is the leading cause of premature bearing and hydraulic failures. Armor distributes the breathers, filters, and isolation hardware that keep particulates and water out of your reservoirs.

Common questions
Does automatic lubrication actually pay off on construction equipment?
Yes — fewer pin and bearing failures, less downtime, lower grease labor, and better resale on a well-maintained machine. Because grease is delivered while the machine works, it removes the missed-point failures that drive most unplanned repairs.
Can one system cover an entire excavator or loader?
A centralized multi-point system runs a single reservoir pump to divider valves that feed every point on the machine. It's sized off the point count, the relube interval, and the duty cycle. Send the make and model and we'll spec the pump, valves, and line routing.
Will it hold up to jobsite dust and washdown?
The units we distribute are sealed and rated for open-site duty, and we pair them with contamination control on the reservoir so the system delivers clean grease. Tell us the exposure and we'll match the hardware to it.
