What type of Grease?

What type of grease is everyone using? Do you just stick to manufacturers recommended or search around to find the cheapest?
Greasy type of grease. I use the Morris bucket of standard grease and never had an issue. There were some machines I had at one point that required something different, I forget what, but that is unusual. Of course for sliding parts like truck fifth wheels and telescopic loader masts, you need graphite based grease or some specialised stuff. Read the operator's manual for each machine to find whether they have any special requirements, just as you would for liquid lubricants.

We used Morris grease for years, then went onto Speedygrease.
Now we’ve gone back to Morris lube shuttle with adaptors in the Speedygrease guns. Better value for money in our opinion.

We also have a couple of special greases for certain applications where the manufacturer recommends it.

It’s not so much grease or guns. It’s more the frequency and the coupler. G couplers are just one which locks on and means greasing is a much cleaner task. Quick rub with a rag before and after means everything stays much cleaner And all the grease goes where it’s needed
