SoCare® Slewing Bearing is packed with general purpose grease in our plant, unless specified by the customer, and are sealed to exclude ordinary foreign matter. Keep the SoCare® Slewing Bearing packaged as originally received and in a horizontal position until all preparations have been made for the installation. If it is necessary to stack the bearings, then a stable intermediate layer with adequate strength to support the weight must be used between bearings. The overall stacked height must not exceed 3 feet. We recommend that you do not stack more than two high if the bearing with more than 4 feet diameter..

Outdoor storage is not recommended. If the bearing is not installed within one year from receiving it, the grease should be purged and replaced with fresh grease. External surfaces of Slewing bearings, including the gear, are coated with a antirusting oil to provide nominal protection during storage.

We suggest that you advise SoCare® if extended periods of storage are anticipated so that the bearings can be packaged appropriately.
