Morey’s BigFoot EP2 Grease

Premium Tacky Lithium Complex EP Grease for Severe Water, Dirt, Mud and Heavy-Load Conditions

Product Overview

Morey’s BigFoot EP2 Grease is a premium heavy-duty, tacky, lithium complex extreme pressure grease developed for severe-service applications where ordinary multipurpose greases may wash away, squeeze out or fail under load. It is designed to provide long-lasting lubrication in harsh operating conditions involving water, dirt, mud, shock loading, vibration, heavy pressure and elevated temperatures. This makes it particularly suitable for agricultural machinery, construction equipment, earthmoving plant, transport fleets, marine deck equipment, drilling equipment, industrial machinery and heavy-duty workshop applications.

Morey’s BigFoot EP2 is built around a lithium complex thickener system combined with a high-adhesion tackifier package and extreme pressure protection. The result is a grease that is specifically designed to “stay in place” in demanding environments, reducing the risk of dry running, metal-to-metal contact and premature component wear. It is especially useful where lubrication points are exposed to contaminants or where re-greasing access is difficult.

The grease provides excellent mechanical and chemical stability and is designed for operation across a wide temperature range from approximately 4°C to +200°C. Its strong resistance to water washout makes it suitable for equipment that works in wet fields, muddy construction sites, marine environments, irrigation areas, washdown zones and exposed machinery. Morey’s own technical information describes BigFoot EP2 as a lithium complex grease suitable for heavy-duty severe-service applications, with strong water washout resistance, shock load capacity, corrosion inhibition, tacky adhesion and extreme pressure protection.

For workshops and fleet operators, Morey’s BigFoot EP2 Grease is a practical high-performance product for customers who need more than a general-purpose grease. It is designed for applications where staying power matters: pins, bushes, couplings, heavily loaded bearings, journal bearings, pivot points, exposed chassis points and other moving parts working under punishing service conditions.

Important Application Notes

Morey’s technical information notes that BigFoot EP2 is not recommended for small anti-friction bearings operating above 5000 rpm and is not recommended for centralised dispensing systems commonly found in industrial plants. The technical sheet also notes that the tackiness additives that help the grease stay in place can make it harder to pump and may require the use of a heavy follower in air-operated systems.

Always confirm suitability against the equipment manufacturer’s lubrication recommendation before use.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Excellent Stay-in-Place Performance

Morey’s BigFoot EP2 is formulated with strong tackiness and adhesion. This helps the grease cling to metal surfaces, resist displacement and remain active in exposed lubrication points. In applications such as loader pins, excavator bushes, farm implement pivots and trailer components, this staying power helps maintain lubrication between service intervals.

2. Unequalled Water Washout Resistance

Water washout is one of the main causes of grease failure in outdoor and marine equipment. BigFoot EP2 is specifically promoted for its water washout resistance, making it suitable for machinery exposed to rain, mud, pressure washing, wet fields, marine decks and dirty work environments. This helps reduce dry joints and corrosion caused by moisture exposure.

3. Strong Shock Load Protection

Equipment such as earthmoving machinery, drilling rigs, harvesters and construction plant is often exposed to shock loading. BigFoot EP2 offers excellent shock load-carrying ability, helping prevent surface damage when components experience sudden load spikes or impact movement.

4. Extreme Pressure Performance

The EP additive system protects against scuffing, scoring and wear under high pressure. This is important in slow-moving, heavily loaded grease points where full fluid film lubrication is not always possible.

5. Rust and Corrosion Inhibition

BigFoot EP2 includes rust and corrosion protection to help preserve metal surfaces in wet, dirty and outdoor environments. This is valuable for seasonal equipment, marine applications, trailers, farm machinery and machinery parked outdoors between use.

6. High Temperature Capability

With an operating temperature range up to approximately +200°C, Morey’s BigFoot EP2 can handle elevated temperature conditions better than many standard multipurpose greases. This makes it useful in equipment exposed to heat, friction and continuous operation.

7. Mechanical and Chemical Stability

The lithium complex structure provides stability under shear and heavy service. The grease is designed to maintain its consistency and resist softening or separation during operation, supporting longer lubrication life and reduced re-greasing frequency.

8. Reduced Maintenance Downtime

Because it stays in place and resists water washout, BigFoot EP2 can help reduce re-greasing frequency in suitable applications. Less grease loss means less downtime, lower labour demand and improved component protection.

Applications

Morey’s BigFoot EP2 Grease is suitable for:

• Earthmoving equipment
• Excavators, loaders, graders and bulldozers
• Agricultural machinery and tractors
• Harvesters, balers, spreaders and implements
• Transport fleet chassis points
• Truck and trailer components
• Marine deck equipment
• Drilling and mining equipment
• Plain bearings
• Heavily loaded journal bearings
• Needle bearings
• Couplings
• Pivot pins and bushes
• Construction machinery joints
• Industrial equipment exposed to water, dirt and mud

It is particularly suited to slow to medium speed applications where high adhesion, water resistance and shock load protection are more important than easy pumpability through long centralised lubrication lines.

Handling & Storage Advice

• Store in a clean, cool and dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Keep containers sealed when not in use to prevent contamination from dust, dirt, water or other greases.
• Use clean grease guns, pumps and dispensing tools to maintain product cleanliness.
• Avoid mixing with other grease types unless compatibility has been confirmed.
• Because this grease is highly tacky, confirm pump suitability before use in air-operated grease systems.
• Do not use in small high-speed anti-friction bearings operating above 5000 rpm unless specifically approved by the equipment manufacturer.
• Do not use in centralised lubrication systems unless pumpability and system compatibility are confirmed.
• Clean old grease and contaminants from lubrication points where practical before application.
• Wear suitable gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact during handling.
• Dispose of used grease, contaminated rags and empty containers according to local environmental regulations.
• Refer to the product Safety Data Sheet for complete health, safety and first-aid guidance.

Advantages for Workshops, Farms and Heavy Equipment Operators

Morey’s BigFoot EP2 Grease is well suited for operators who need a grease that does not easily wash off, fling off or disappear from exposed working parts. For farms, it provides strong protection in wet soil, mud, irrigation areas and long seasonal workloads. For construction and earthmoving operators, it helps protect pins, bushes and pivots exposed to dust, shock loading and heavy articulation. For transport operators, it can be useful in selected chassis and trailer applications where high adhesion and water resistance are required.

Workshops can position this grease as a premium severe-service option for customers who operate machinery in punishing environments. It is especially valuable when the customer’s main problem is grease loss, water washout, contamination or repeated wear in pivot points and loaded components.
