Spectrum Oil Containers - Hand Pump

The Spectrum Hand Pump is ideal for those awkward or hard-to-reach oil top-off applications, such as gearboxes, lathes, and milling machines. This pump is supplied with an outlet hose and anti-drip nozzle—simply fit the Hand Pump to a Spectrum Pump Storage Lid and mate with a Spectrum 2-, 3-, or 4-gallon container.

Feature

Spectrum Visual Lubrication Management

The hand pump is part of the Spectrum Visual Lubrication Management System that uses color-coding to ensure the correct lubricant is used in the right piece of equipment and in the proper location. Colored identifiers are assigned to designated lubricants which allows for a tagging system to be deployed throughout the Journey of the Lubricant. From the point of storage to the point of application, the operator will know which designated lubricant is to go to each specific lubrication point.

If you look up bearing failures, you are bound to get a variety of different results. But, what is consistent is that there is always a wedge of the pie chart that relates to improper lubrication. What it means specifically for each result may vary, but the title includes cross-contamination of lubricants and/or using the wrong lubricants all together. This wedge is typically responsible for 20-35% of all bearing failures, sometimes more.

Color With a Purpose

Did you know that color is processed by people before they are consciously aware of it? Color helps communicate essential information that is understood universally, requires little training, and transcends language barriers.

Know Your Rights (of Effective Lubrication)

If you’re among the many industrial professionals who still view critical equipment lubricants as mere consumables – commodities to which you give little thought other than price – consider this: Poor lubrication causes as much as 60% of all equipment failures.
