Improving road safety with fifth wheel grease

The correct greasing of your truck’s fifth wheel has a critical role to play in maintaining safety on the road. Insufficient greasing can cause high friction that leads to the reduced manoeuvrability of your truck – potentially causing fifth wheel failure, a trailer drop or a severe accident.

Shell Gadus Fifth Wheel Grease is an easy-to-apply and easy-to-store grease. It offers outstanding load-carrying capability for proper lubrication, reduced friction and effective wear protection.
