Lubricants for Lifts and Escalators

In environments where lift components are exposed to high loads, humidity, frequent operation, or outdoor conditions, they endure significant mechanical stress. To ensure optimal performance and safety, it is essential to implement a rigorous maintenance protocol—where lubrication plays a central role in central areas such as ropes and chains, hydraulic rams and gearboxes. Millers Oils offers advanced lubrication solutions tailored to the demands of lift systems, helping operators maintain mechanical integrity while optimising performance and lifecycle cost.
