Hydraulic Oil

 

Hydraulic oil is essential for any and all hydraulic applications which can include; excavators, backhoes, hydraulic breakers, industrial machinery and power steering systems to name a few. The function of the oil is used to create power, however there are a number of other equally important functions. The oil is used to transfer the heat created from the machine and sends it through the oil as opposed to being transferred through the machine parts themselves causing them to heat up leading to premature damage and wear. The oil is similarly used to create a seal in the hydraulic piston improving pump efficiency.

 

Greenland ProductsHydraulic oil has changed greatly from it’s beginnings in ancient Egypt where only water was used. Mineral oil replaced water as it was more effective due to its innate lubrication properties. With the changing in recent times and the paradigm change to a more environmentally safe and sustainable future, Creighton Rock Drill Ltd has partnered with Greenland Products. An industry leader in this change towards a sustainable future, Greenland’s hydraulic fluids are environmentally safe hydraulic oils that are an effective alternative to petroleum based oils.

 

Greenland is committed to a healthier, safer environment, without sacrificing performance. They achieve this and more with their product as the vegetable oil-based lubricants operate at lower temperatures, as well as have a high viscosity and stability that in turn reduces downtime, increases productivity, and increases the life of the machine itself. Made from renewable resources, the lubricant is biodegradable and non toxic to the environment and is safe for the workers who use it.
