and what are the benefit claims / expectations going with the "new Hylifts that have the pin oiler" compared to the previous versions, longer service life, quieter....?
The pin oiler increases oil to the roller axle. It's supposed to increase roller bearing life. IIRC, @wfolarry said that Hylift had told him it helps ensure that the pin gets lubed on stationary motors that run at constant speed. Motors like big generators have this as a common failure. At certain RPMs the certain rollers may not get adequate splash.
