5th Wheel Lubricant from Lucas adds competitive edge

5th Wheel Lubricant from Lucas adds competitive edge 5th Wheel & Slider Lube reduces drag, and workshop time and is the latest word in 5th wheel trailer maintenance and reduced maintenance costs. It is particularly attractive for operators with high profile images to protect, as well as discerning drivers of customized trucks and trailers because it’s cleaner in use and more livery friendly, says Lucas Oil.

It’s less likely to end up smeared across the trailer underside, so is ideal for high profile food distribution work and truck show enthusiasts.

Dry 5th Wheels are a major cause of front tyre wear and worn spring bushes. They can also contribute to jack-knifing, yet this award-winning American-made lubricant is the fast and easy response for engineers on an efficiency drive or owner operators with an expensive investment to protect.

With 5th Wheel & Slider Lube, there’s less volume involved, so it lasts longer than more traditional greases. There also are no workshop storage issues because drivers can keep a tube in the cab and add more fluid as part of their routine daily checks.

Supplied singly or in cases of 12, each 16oz fl oz bottle will lubricate up to eight 5th Wheels. Applied in small thin strings across the 5th wheel, it’s all that’s required for months of clean and trouble-free trailer coupling and uncoupling.
