SURE LUBE Bearing System: Superior Lubrication for Reliable Hi-Rail Performance | Mitchell Railgear



In the demanding world of rail maintenance and on-track operations, equipment reliability is everything. Hi-rail vehicles depend on smooth, consistent wheel and bearing performance to ensure safe transitions between road and rail while maintaining long-term durability. The SURE LUBE Bearing System from Mitchell Railgear is engineered to deliver exactly that — unmatched lubrication, reduced wear, and maximum service life for hi-rail applications.

This article explores how the SURE LUBE system works, its advantages and why it has become the preferred solution for operators across the rail industry.

What Is the SURE LUBE Bearing System?

The SURE LUBE Bearing System is an advanced, maintenance-friendly lubrication solution designed specifically for hi-rail gear assemblies. It ensures continuous and consistent lubrication of bearings under all operating conditions — from heavy-duty freight support to urban light-rail maintenance.

By integrating a simplified greasing process with superior sealing and bearing protection, the system enhances reliability and reduces downtime associated with traditional lubrication methods.

Key Features of the SURE LUBE Bearing System

✔ 1. Sealed Bearing Protection

The system uses high-quality sealed bearings that prevent dirt, water, and contaminants from entering, ensuring smooth operation even in harsh rail environments.

✔ 2. Continuous Lubrication Delivery

Engineered grease pathways provide direct lubrication to critical bearing surfaces without requiring disassembly.

✔ 3. Extended Service Intervals

Operators benefit from longer maintenance cycles, reducing both labour and downtime while improving equipment availability.

✔ 4. Simple & Clean Maintenance

Greasing is performed through easy-access ports, eliminating messy or time-consuming bearing maintenance routines.

✔ 5. Built for Heavy-Duty Rail Use

Designed to withstand the vibration, load stress and environmental exposure typical in railroad operations.

Benefits for Hi-Rail Operators

✔ Increased Reliability

With consistent lubrication and sealed protection, bearings experience less friction, wear and overheating, ensuring smoother operation.

✔ Lower Maintenance Costs

Longer intervals between services help reduce the overall cost of ownership.

✔ Enhanced Safety

Properly lubricated bearings reduce the risk of mechanical failure, ensuring safe deployment and retraction of hi-rail gear.

✔ Longer Equipment Lifespan

Reduced wear on bearings and other moving parts extends the lifespan of hi-rail components, contributing to better long-term performance.

✔ Improved Job-Site Efficiency

With fewer maintenance interruptions, operators can complete more inspections, repairs or rail work in less time.

How the SURE LUBE System Works

The SURE LUBE Bearing System incorporates a series of engineered channels that carry grease directly to bearing contact points. This ensures:

  • Uniform distribution

  • Cleaner application

  • Long-lasting lubrication

  • Protection during both rail and road travel

The simplified greasing system removes the need for repetitive disassembly, allowing technicians to maintain bearings quickly and efficiently.

Applications Across Rail Industries

The SURE LUBE Bearing System is ideal for:

  • Hi-rail trucks

  • Track inspection vehicles

  • Rail maintenance fleets

  • Utility and construction trucks operating on rail

  • Any system requiring reliable hi-rail bearing support

Whether the equipment is used for inspection, welding, construction, or ballast work, SURE LUBE provides dependable, low-maintenance performance.
