Quench the Thirst - what type of oil does your Waltco gate take?

What type of oil does your Waltco gate take?

Waltco has a new line of high performance hydraulic oil. It is an extended temperature Shell Tellus 15 with a Caterpillar additive to reduce cylinder "chatter." This oil is rated by Waltco for use in -25F to 140F temperature ranges.

All Season Hydraulic Oil has been developed to enable equipment operators to select the oil that will deliver optimum value to their operations through wear protection, long oil life, and system efficiency.

Engineered to maintain its viscosity and performance over the oil-drain interval, under severe mechanical stress, and under hot and humid conditions. It is a fluid that you can rely on in indoor and outdoor or cold environments, as it has been designed to have a wide operating temperature range.

Buy your Waltco liftgate's oil today! Oil is sold by the quart, so if you need one gallon order four.
