Smarter Wire Rope Maintenance: Viper MK 3 x RS Clare Clareguard GRL

At United Resources, we believe in solutions that not only protect your assets but also elevate operational safety and efficiency. Introducing two powerhouse products in wire rope maintenance: the Viper MK 3 Wire Rope Lubricator and the RS Clare’s Clareguard GRL Viper: a perfect pairing for critical operations subject to corrosion and salt air.

Why the Viper MK 3 Revolutionises Rope Maintenance
Gone are the days of slow, hazardous manual greasing. The Viper MK 3 Wire Rope Lubricator delivers pressurised, one-pass lubrication that penetrates deep into wire rope cores. Available in both Mini and a Mid sizes, customers are able to choose which variation fits their operations best. Built for ropes from 6 mm to 44 mm, Viper is compact and powerful, ideal for offshore, marine, construction, and industrial operations.

With Viper, maintenance can take up to 90% less time. Its unique split-seal tech ensures full core coverage, and a consistent, reliable application every time. With less waste and less mess as a result, workers are spared from unnecessary risks while saving on lubricator costs.

Before ordering your Viper, ensure you have the following details:

1. Measure your rope accurately to find its diameter.

2. Check if your ropes are left or right lay

3. Identify the strand type of your rope

Clareguard GRL: A Powerful Partner
To maximise the Viper’s performance, we supply RS Clare’s Clareguard GRL: a high-performance, bitumen-free, thixotropic lubricant engineered for extreme marine and offshore conditions. Its strong adhesion, exceptional water resistance, and non-slinging formula make it ideal for high-speed ropes operating in salt, humidity, or submersion. What makes this combination truly effective is their full compatibility. Clareguard GRL flows easily through the Viper MK 3, ensuring rapid, even application across the rope’s entire structure. This results in clean, fast, efficient lubrication with reduced mess and zero compromise on performance. The two working in tandem results in a safer, more sustainable way to carry out maintenance operations.

Smarter Rope Care, One Pass at a Time
When used together, Clareguard GRL and the Viper Mini MK 3 form a complete, high-performance solution for wire rope care. For safety officers looking to minimise downtime or maximise safety, this duo delivers unmatched efficiency and protection.

Physical hazards are often the most visible yet underestimated confined space danger. Unlike atmospheric or biological risks, physical hazards can be seen, touched, or heard. Yet many workers overlook them because they seem obvious or “manageable.”
