The Masto Wire Rope Lubricator is easy to use. Split seals are fitted around the rope and are clamped in place by the two halves of the lubrication chamber.
ONLY HIGH PRESSURE ENSURES EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CLEANING AND LUBRICATION WITH HEAVY DUTY
THE MASTO LUBRICATOR LUBRICATES ALL TYPES OF WIRE ROPE INSIDE AND OUT
Only the Masto Lubricator penetrates under high pressure all types of wire rope, such as Non-rotating, Dyform, and Locked Coil with heavy grade lubricant. NB. To obtain total penetration through a compact rope the pressure must be minimum 20 bar (285 PSI) in the chamber. Even wire rope subjected to severe surface wear will have a longer life when lubricated with the Masto. Stainless steel, galvanized, and other special types of wire rope require just as much lubrication since friction is the same and corrosion can also occur.
EASY INSTALLATION REGARDLESS OF WIRE-ROPE POSITION
The Masto Lubricator is easy to use. Split seals are fitted around the rope and clamped in place by the two halves of the lubricating chamber. The unit is coupled to a high-pressure lubricating pump via flexible hose, and lubricant is forced into the lub. chamber. The unit is anchored by two chains to a convenient, stationary object. The pump is started and the wire rope is pulled through the Lubricator.
The Masto Lubricator is portable, but it can also be mounted permanently, for example by installing a lubricating chamber on each lifeboat rope with a T-coupling.

What our clients say
01
The “MASTO” wire lubricator was independently observed and verified during a live demonstration by a surveyor from Det Norske Veritas.
It was successfully tested on multiple wire types, including galvanized and non-rotating Dyform wires.
The applied grease (Texclad 2) showed excellent performance and consistency.
Inspection confirmed full penetration of lubricant throughout the entire cross-section of the wires.
This validation highlights the effectiveness and reliability of the MASTO system in real-world conditions.
Overall, the results demonstrate a high standard of lubrication quality and operational assurance

The Department of Transport (Australia) confirmed the effectiveness of the MASTO wire lubricator following a witnessed demonstration. The system successfully lubricated wire ropes thoroughly, penetrating from the surface right through to the fibre core. It also removed old lubricant and water contamination, even from ropes exposed to harsh weather conditions. The process was efficient, with minimal loss or spillage of new lubricant during application. The lubricator meets requirements for internal wire rope lubrication, particularly for larger diameter ropes. Overall, it aligns with recognized marine standards, confirming its reliability and suitability for industry use.

V.Ships UK expresses strong satisfaction after many years of using the MASTO grease lubrication equipment.The system has delivered clear cost savings while helping to prevent accidents and reduce vessel downtime.Wires treated with the equipment have shown significantly extended lifespans—often close to double the normal service life.In some cases, crane wires have remained operational for up to 9 years compared to a typical 5-year lifespan. The equipment effectively cleans and lubricates even compact non-rotating wires, ensuring deep penetration and reliability. Overall, it improves efficiency, enhances operator safety, and is supported by dependable service and after-sales support.
