Automatic greasing system (AGS)

Manitou telescopic handlers with automatic greasing system (AGS)

Manual lubrication can be problematic and time-consuming, especially when each machine has up to 30 lubrication points, some of which are located in hard-to-reach areas such as the boom head.

The main characteristics of an automatic lubrication system:

1. High efficiency: three independent lubrication circuits, each of which is individually regulated in terms of the amount of lubricant supplied in each cycle.

2. High reliability: low operating pressure with a limited number of distribution units.

3. Better control of operation: low and no lubricant level warning and rotation monitoring.

Depending on the model, the AGS automatically lubricates the chassis (MLT NewAg/MLT-X 1041-145 PS+L) or the chassis and boom head (MLT-X 841-145 PS+ and MLT-X 961-160 V+ L).

The automatic lubrication system thus simplifies routine by eliminating the need for manual lubrication. In addition, it ensures that key machine components (cylinders, boom, axles, etc.) are optimally lubricated, which helps to optimize machine uptime.
