The Lube-Shuttle® Advantage is Clear
Greasing is required and the system you use directly affects your bottom line. Traditional grease guns add friction to a process that should be simple — wasting labor hours, creating mess, and increasing downtime. Lube-Shuttle® improves the economics of greasing by reducing reload time, minimizing air lock, maximizing grease utilization, and lowering total labor cost per machine. The result is measurable savings, cleaner maintenance practices, and more consistent preventative care. If labor is 80% of your lubrication cost, the smarter system wins.
What Traditional Greasing Really Costs
Example:
-
20 machines
-
15 minutes per machine
-
$35/hour burdened labor
-
5 days per week
-
50 weeks per year
15 min × 20 machines = 5 labor hours per day
5 hours × $35 = $175 per day
$175 × 5 days = $875 per week
$875 × 50 weeks =
👉 $43,750 per year in greasing labor
That’s just lubrication time.
Now Reduce 5 Minutes Per Machine
If Lube-Shuttle® cuts just 5 minutes per machine (through faster reloads, less air lock, and cleaner tube changes):
Example:
-
20 machines
-
10 minutes per machine
-
$35/hour burdened labor
-
5 days per week
-
50 weeks per year
10 min × 20 machines = 3.3 hours per day
3.3 hours × $35 = $116 per day
$116 × 5 days × 50 weeks =
👉 $29,000 per year
Annual Labor Savings:
$14,750
And that’s with only 20 machines.
Scale it to 40+ machines and the numbers grow fast.
