EZ Lube Spindles - A Breakthrough for Truck Fleet Maintenance!



December 15th, 2014 - Plant City, FL 

Courtsara L.L.C. designer of the EZ Lube Spindles has recently acquired US patents #8882117 and #8882208 on its products.  The Installation of EZ Lube Spindles on trucks will vastly reduce maintenance expenditures.

Before at 7000 Miles -Contamination and Rust
Before at 7000 Miles- Inner Bearing Frozen on Shaft


13000 Miles-same Truck
 
Same truck after EZ Lube Spindle Inner Bearing Installation - 13000 Miles













TRUCK APPLICATIONS:
The U.S. patented and Canada pending customization devised by Courtsara has a wide array of applications in the real world by a vast number of companies and operations. The Military, Local governments at the City, County, and State levels, power line maintenance crews, logging companies, open- pit mining companies, maintenance contractor trucks, drill rig trucks, street sweepers, refuse and vacuum trucks, mud bogger trucks, dump and snow control trucks, and many more.

The Benefits:
Once the system is installed, one can expect reduced maintenance costs, decreased down time, increased truck availability, and greatly improved mechanic safety and productivity.

Mosaic Phosphates in Florida was one of the first companies to try this out. Previously, a Freightliner M2 truck axle was broken down every 4 months and had cost the company $13000 in parts alone. Since adding the EZ Lube Spindles, it now has been operating for over a year and a half with no break downs. It had broken down twice in the previous 27000 miles and since then it has run 75000 miles without a failure in the spindle/axle area. Now Mosaic is retrofitting their whole fleet.

Installation:
Currently, the EZ Lube Spindle system can be retrofitted on most 2 or 4wds. You may add a specification for the EZ Lube Spindles for new truck purchases. Some major manufacturers include Fabco, Marmon-Herrington, and Meritor.

The US Patent is shown below:
