| To keep dirt out of greased bearings while relubricating, use a three-pronged approach. First, use plastic caps that fit over the grease fittings to keep contamination out. Second, use a lint-free cloth or clean rag to wipe down the fitting prior to greasing. Third, protect the dispensing end of the grease gun with a cap or cover when it is not being used.

Grease systems have long been popular in lubricating bearings located in the spray chamber of a caster. However, the harsh and steamy environment leads to an influx of water into the bearing between grease lube cycles and eventually destroys it. Air-oil systems not only lubricate but also pressurize the bearing cavity, preventing water and dirt ingress from happening.

From the book "Lubrication Fundamentals":
Mechanical handling equipment is needed for efficient movement of drums into and out of a plant warehouse. Hand- or power-operated forklift trucks or stackers are widely used for this purpose. They offer the advantage of a single handling operation from warehouse storage to the oil house or point of use. A chain block or trolley with a proper drum sling mounted on an I-beam bridge can be used to move drums in and out of storage. This type of equipment does not require the aisle space needed to maneuver a forklift. Mechanical handling equipment is closely regulated by OSHA. A thorough study is required to assure that the system and equipment meet all requirements.
