Q: What type of lubricant should I use for my lifting deck ropes? A: We recommend using Chain & Lifting Gear Lubricant from Don-Bur for your lifting deck ropes. This lubricant is specifically formulated to protect and extend the life of chains and lifting gear, including wire ropes.

Q: How do I apply lubricant to lifting deck ropes? A: To apply Chain & Lifting Gear Lubricant, evenly coat the entire length of the rope with the lubricant. This may require operating the deck to access hidden sections. Ensure the lubricant penetrates the rope's core. Before application, clean the ropes to remove grease and dirt for optimal penetration. While lubricating, inspect the ropes for signs of damage and take appropriate action.
