A self-lubricating saddle which continually lubricates the rotational elements thereof as the saddle is in use. Generally, the saddle includes a base saddle body (12), a surface plate (14), and a saddle head (16). A king pin (18) extending substantially through the center of these three components, provides a pivot point for horizontal rotation. A grease fitting (55) is located on an upper surface of the saddle head (16), in a position which is easily accessible to maintenance personnel. An inlet (54) extends from the grease fitting (55) through the saddle head (16) to a grease reservoir defined by a conduit or duct (52) on the lower surface plate of the saddle head (16). Grease or other lubricants are retained to provide continual lubrication of the rotational elements of the saddle, and also to provide lubricants directly to the rotational elements.
