SUBJECT: CPL - Automated Greasing Systems
The Corporation of the City of London's - Fleet Services
Division is a recognized leader in the area of Municipal Fleet
Management with a dedicated staff of fleet professionals.
Approximately 6 years ago the fleet management group decided
to assess the feasibility of automated greasing systems for
portions of our municipal equipment fleet. After a thorough
review of available systems in the market place, CPL greasing
systems met our criteria for high caliber components, professional
OEM style installation and workmanship and excellent after
purchase support services.
In 1998 the City of London proceeded with a pilot project
of CPL automated greasing systems on our large front end loaders.
Later in 1999 we extended the experiment into our garbage
packer fleet. After a noticeable decrease in pin and bushing
maintenance, increased driver/operator satisfaction (with
increased ease of daily pre-trip inspections) and increased
mechanic satisfaction (with the increased ease of servicing
the fleet equipment), our fleet management group decided to
include CPL automated greasing systems in the city's new fleet
equipment purchases. The City of London's standard vehicle/equipment
specifications now include CPL automated greasing systems
for both heavy off road construction equipment and heavy on
road vehicles.
The City of London has not looked back since and is quite
satisfied with the decision to include CPL automated greasing
systems within our Department's comprehensive fleet management
program.
