Tackling driveline challenges with Shell Spirax
In construction equipment, axles and transmissions operate under extreme conditions - high loads, intense pressures, and constant gear changes. These demands place enormous stress on driveline components, making lubricant performance critical to uptime, efficiency, and total cost of ownership (TCO).
Shell Spirax is engineered to meet these challenges head-on:
- Optimized friction control: Powershift transmissions rely on precise friction to shift smoothly. Shell Spirax delivers the right balance - minimizing slippage while preventing excessive heat and wear.
- Extreme Pressure Protection: In gearboxes and differentials, Spirax resists metal-to-metal contact under high loads, thanks to robust EP additives and superior film strength.
- Extended oil life: Advanced oxidation resistance and shear stability help Spirax maintain performance over longer intervals, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Enhanced wear protection: Spirax safeguards critical components from wear and pitting, even in harsh, low-temperature environments.
