Groeneveld-Beka World

A POWERFUL FORCE: GROENEVELD-BEKA BRINGS AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION TO CUSTOMERS AROUND THE WORLD

 

Timken first entered the lubrication market in 2013 when it acquired Interlube. Four years later, the company significantly expanded its portfolio and global reach with the acquisition of Groeneveld and has now incorporated the Interlube brand into Groeneveld.

 

This fall, Timken announced a third lubrication acquisition: Germany-headquartered BEKA Lubrication. With the acquisition of BEKA Lubrication, Timken is now the second-largest player globally in the growing automatic lubrication market.

 

It’s an extraordinary marriage,” says Richard Butler, president of Groeneveld. “These two very strong, very proud companies are focused on different applications as their core activities, as well as different routes to market. As we bring the two together, we create a powerful force.

HOW GROENEVELD SUPPORTS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE IN CONTAINER HANDLING AUTOMATION

 

How Groeneveld supports preventative maintenance in container handling automation

 

All over the world, the challenges are the same. Ever expanding global goods flows drive the need for increased efficiency. Improved reliability, consistency, predictability and safety of operations, plus reduced environmental impact and a reduction of the costs per handled container, are also key factors. It’s a race without a finish, with continuity of the operation as the overriding theme.

IMPROVE UPTIME

 

Wind turbine greasing

 

For a wind farm, only the best lubrication system is good enough. Zero-tolerance for errors as one lubrication related failure could put a wind turbine in safety mode. With all costly consequences. Especially in remote areas, a service call is inadmissible. Therefore, an automatic lubrication system has to check many boxes in order to be a perfect solution. The Twin heavy-duty system meets these extensive demands. Groeneveld offers the fully engineered Twin system in combination with all necessary components required for automatic greasing of a wind turbine.

 

 

 

FOR CITY OF WANNEROO WASTE COLLECTING TRUCKS

 

Reduced Reversing Incidents On Waste Trucks

 

One of the tasks of a local government council in Australia is to collect rubbish. Since a rubbish truck has many blind spots and is deployed in small and crowded streets, accidents are likely to happen. That is why the initial supplier of garbage trucks advised the City of Wanneroo to equip their trucks with an obstacle detection system.

DEDICATED TO QUALITY

 

Groeneveld Greasing for CablePrice

 

CablePrice, the New Zealand importer for Scania trucks and machinery of John Deere and Hitachi, often opts for Groeneveld’s autolube systems. With high-end automatic greasing systems for both trucks and earthmoving machinery, Groeneveld Lubrication Solutions New Zealand is a solid partner of CablePrice.

AUTOLUBE FOR TELESCOPIC HANDLERS

 

AUTOMATIC MAINTENANCE

 

Telescopic handlers are well-suited for automatic lubrication. Both technically and economically, automatic lubrication comes with significant advantages. With automatic lubrication all the greasing points are lubricated, also the difficult to reach and easily forgotten ones. Make use of the machine without having headaches about when to lubricate.

AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION

 

Connexxion streamlines maintenance Solaris buses with Groeneveld

 

A traveler won’t notice much of the dynamic world behind her or his bus ride. Tight time schedules, overnight maintenance, daily checks and so on, make the punctual operation of a bus a challenging puzzle. With automatic maintenance systems Groeneveld delivers some essential pieces for that puzzle. Maik Blok, Workshop Manager at Connexxion Haarlem explains their choice for the Groeneveld systems on the 40 new Solaris buses.

AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION FOR ALUMINIUM SMELTER

Groeneveld is well known for their automatic lubrication systems for applications such as wheel loaders, excavators, trucks and trailers. Nevertheless, Groeneveld - part of Timken Company - provides an automatic greasing solution for almost every application. New Zealand Aluminium Smelters (NZAS) uses Groeneveld systems on mobile plant. “Since we started to use the Groeneveld systems, we’ve seen less downtime and a decrease in repair and maintenance,” thus the level-headed explanation of Jim Pickett, Industrial Automotive Engineer at NZAS.
