Every yard I have worked in has one bloke who greases everything every morning and one who reckons the manual interval is fine. Both of them are certain the other is wrong.

I have started keeping notes on pin wear across our fleet. Early numbers say the daily crowd are right on the boom foot and wrong about basically everything else.

That matches what I have seen. The high-load low-movement joints want grease more often than the book says. The rest of it is just pumping money onto the ground.
