MULTI-PURPOSE HIGH-TEMP
EP GREASE, NLGI #2, RED
Red NLGI #2 extreme-pressure grease for truck chassis points, fifth wheels, bearings and equipment pins
Bedrock Multi-Purpose High-Temp EP Grease is a red extreme-pressure grease in NLGI #2 consistency for trucks, trailers and off-road equipment. Use it on chassis fittings, fifth-wheel plates and equipment pins where the equipment maker calls for an NLGI #2 EP grease. It is sold to fleets, owner-operators, repair shops, construction and farm operators and oilfield service crews along the Gulf Coast and beyond.
In service, the extreme-pressure film carries heavy and shock loads on pins, bushings and bearings where a plain grease would be squeezed out. The high-temperature formulation holds its consistency near hot wheel ends and brakes, so the grease remains on the part through long summer runs instead of softening and running out. NLGI #2 consistency pumps through standard hand, air and battery grease guns and seats in the fitting. The red color shows fresh grease at the purge.
It is the only grease in the Bedrock line, stocked beside Bedrock heavy-duty engine oils, gear oils and coolant for the same preventive-maintenance service. It comes in a 35 lb pail for the grease gun and the shop bench, a 120 lb keg for a shop pump and a 400 lb drum for fleets that fill their own guns and lube trucks.

Applications
- Tractor and trailer chassis points on daily-run trucks: kingpins, tie-rod ends, spring pins, shackle pins and brake camshaft bushings.
- Fifth-wheel top plates and locking jaws on tractors that couple and uncouple several times a day.
- Wheel bearings only where the axle maker's manual allows a multi-purpose NLGI #2 EP grease; confirm the classification on the Product Data Sheet before you repack.
- Bucket pins, boom pins, articulation joints and cylinder pins on excavators, loaders, backhoes and dozers working in dirt and shock load.
- Farm equipment through the season: implement bearings, PTO shaft joints, baler and planter fittings and tractor front-axle pivots.
- Oilfield service and vacuum trucks: PTO-driven equipment, winch and boom pins, outrigger pads and chassis fittings on hot, dusty leases.
- Trailer landing gear, dump-body hoist pins, lift-gate pivots, forklift mast rollers and chassis points around the shop and yard.
Performance
- Carries heavy and shock loads on pins, bushings and bearings: an extreme-pressure grease is formulated to hold a protective film where load presses metal against metal.
- Holds its consistency in hot service near wheel ends, brakes and engine heat, so the grease remains on the part instead of softening and running out.
- NLGI #2 consistency pumps through standard hand, air and battery grease guns and seats in the fitting after the gun comes off.
- One multi-purpose grease for chassis points, fifth wheels and bearings keeps fewer greases on the shelf and lowers the chance of mixing greases that do not belong together.
- Red color makes fresh grease easy to see at the fitting and shows when the old grease has purged from the joint.
- Fills the joint between service intervals to help keep road dust and grit out of pins and bushings.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this one grease on the chassis, the fifth wheel and the wheel bearings, or do I need two greases?
It is a multi-purpose NLGI #2 EP grease for chassis points and fifth-wheel plates. For wheel bearings, check the axle maker's maintenance manual for the grease grade and classification it calls for, and ask for the Product Data Sheet to confirm the grease is formulated to meet it before you repack a wheel end.
What does NLGI #2 mean?
NLGI #2 is a consistency grade, not a quality rating. It is the everyday grade for truck chassis, fifth wheels and bearings: firm enough to stay in the fitting and soft enough to pump through a standard grease gun. If your equipment calls for a softer or firmer grade, the maintenance manual will say so.
I am switching from another brand of grease. Do I need to clean out the old grease first?
Purge the old grease at each fitting until fresh red grease shows, and clean and repack any bearing rather than top it off. Ask for the Product Data Sheet if you need to check the thickener type.
Specifications and typical properties are stated on each product's data sheet; follow the equipment maker's service recommendations.
