Frattalone Companies Reduces Maintenance and Hourly Costs

Runs Entire Fleet with Mystik^® JT-6^® Heavy Duty SynBlend 460 #2 Grease

Challenge

Frattalone Companies, Inc., a civil construction company that services clients across the Midwest, operates a fleet of over 300 pieces of heavy-duty equipment and wants to reduce their downtime and consumption to help increase productivity. The Mystik team, along with Kath Fuel Oil and Service, suggested running a high-performance grease designed to reduce equipment and extend operating hours in heavy-duty applications.

Solution

The Mystik Lubricants experts analyzed Frattalone's current grease in the lab for compatibility and performance and advised them to switch to Mystik^® JT-6^® Heavy Duty SynBlend 460 #2 Grease. The heavy-duty grease has an optimized blend of mineral and synthetic base oils for a wide operating temperature range and superior performance properties.

Outcome

The initial testing of the Mystik heavy-duty grease showed significant improvements in their heavy-duty equipment.

After running it through a couple of service intervals, Frattalone decided to implement the Mystik grease throughout their fleet. The heavy-duty grease stayed on longer than any other and saved them tens of thousands of dollars per year on time and parts.
