Whitmore® WhitSlide Extreme is the high-performance dragline slide lubricant built to answer one brutal question every mine maintenance engineer knows: how dragline slide lubrication prevents wear when walking mechanism slides are grinding under multi-ton loads, extreme heat, and punishing friction cycles. If your Bucyrus 2500 series is deadheading from overheated components, this episode is your fix.

WhitSlide Extreme draws its additive chemistry directly from industrial enclosed gear oil technology — a synergistic EP and anti-wear package that reacts with metal surfaces to smooth microscopic contact zones before micro-welding starts. The payoff is a tenacious boundary film that controls operating temperatures, slashes mechanical resistance through every walking cycle, and keeps your machine walking instead of waiting. Medium and Heavy grades post an 800 kg weld point on the ASTM D-2783 Four Ball EP test — that's the maximum load the apparatus can record. Pair that with an ASTM D-4172 wear scar diameter of just 0.33 mm and you have hard proof of film strength, not marketing language.

Three grades let you match viscosity to your system and your climate. The Light grade is a free-flowing black fluid at 1,200 cps Brookfield (Spindle 7, 5 rpm, 77°F) — it pumps down to -20°F in Lincoln Ventmeter systems at 400 psi and to -30°F in Farval systems at 2,000 psi, making it the cold-weather workhorse. Order it here: The Medium grade steps up to 40,000 cps, balancing mobility and load-carrying with pumpability limits of 20°F (Lincoln) and 10°F (Farval). See it at The Heavy grade is a soft black grease at 85,000 cps, optimized for maximum-load and high-temperature duty, pumping to 35°F (Lincoln) and 25°F (Farval).

Heavy grade ships in drum, tote, and keg packaging to match your stocking strategy — fleet rollout or a single spare. Drum: https://www.pe-energy.com/product/whitslide-extreme-heavy-drum-propel-machinery-lubricants/ — Tote: https://www.pe-energy.com/product/whitslide-extreme-heavy-tote-propel-machinery-lubricants/ — Keg: All three grades share a 200°F (94°C) flash point under ASTM D-92 Cleveland Open Cup and pass the ASTM D-665 distilled water rust test for corrosion protection you can count on year-round.

Beyond walking slides, spec WhitSlide Extreme on heavily loaded industrial bushings experiencing severe sliding friction and use the high-viscosity base material as an open gear lubricant base coat on new gear teeth — the high-tack film gives standard open gear greases something to grip on clean metal. The formula contains zero heavy metals and uses an ozone-safe, non-chlorinated solvent, so spent lubricant disposes the same way as standard spent grease or asphaltic products. Less downtime, longer fluid life, cleaner compliance. Browse the full Whitmore catalog at
