Why use kerosene to clean grease on electric hoist

To ensure the smooth operation of the electric hoist and improve the corrosion resistance of the electric hoist, it is necessary to add lubricating oil and anti-rust grease to the electric hoist regularly. This method can indeed improve the service life of the electric hoist to a certain extent, but there are also Another problem is that it is easy to produce oil dirt when exposed to the air for a long time, that is, the stubborn impurities formed by the combination of oil and dust in the air.

Once the electric hoist forms stubborn oil stains, it will have a great impact on its normal operation, so it is necessary to deal with the oil stains formed on the electric hoist regularly.
