Success Story
Stop the Chatter — Specialty Lubricants for the Lift Industry

LUBE-A-BOOM®
Founded in 2002 by Harley and Marilyn Wilson, LUBE-A-BOOM is a leader in specialty lubricants for telescoping boom cranes, aerial lifts, telehandlers, forklifts, and heavy construction equipment. Harley created the original formula after years as a Grove Manufacturing service rep to eliminate boom chatter.
Formulated in a 100% synthetic base fluid with PTFE and a calcium sulfonate complex, LUBE-A-BOOM grease delivers unmatched performance on sliding surfaces—reducing friction, extending wear pad life, eliminating chatter, and preventing rust. Aerosols and liquids utilize this same proven technology for easy application on chains, cables, and hard-to-reach areas.
Made in the USA, LUBE-A-BOOM is trusted nationwide by OEMs, equipment owners, service techs, and operators.
