Do you have ball bearing wheels? Or pieces of plastic that slide?

i use WD40, then wipe it off a few minutes later but mine had bearings, not the sliding plastic, maybe its time to replace that plastic?

lithium grease here too. havent had to redo mine yet been a few years and still good. but I put a bunch in there with the hoist lowered and raised so it would coat the slides really well.

Motorcycle chain lube is what I use. It's parafin based and sticks where you spray it.
