Gradall Forklift Part

Gradall Forklift Parts - The Gradall excavator was the creation of two brothers Ray and Koop Ferwerda. The excavator was established In the 1940's all through World War II, when there was a shortage of labourers. The brothers faced the problems of a depleted labor force because of the war. As partners in their Cleveland, Ohio construction company referred to as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda they lacked the existing laborers in order to carry out the delicate work of grading and finishing on their interstate projects. The Ferwerda brothers decided to build an equipment that will save their company by making the slope grading task easier, more efficient and less manual.

Their very first design model was a device with two beams set on a rotating platform which was attached atop a used truck. A telescopic cylinder moved the beams forward and backward that enabled the fixed blade at the end of the beams to push or pull dirt. Before long improving the initial design, the brothers built a triangular boom to add more strength. Additionally, they added a tilt cylinder which let the boom turn 45 degrees in both directions. A cylinder was positioned at the rear of the boom, powering a long push rod to enable the machine to be equipped with either a blade or a bucket attachment.

The year 1992 marked a momentous year for Gradall with their launch of XL Series hydraulics, the most amazing change in the company's excavators ever since their creation. These top-of-the-line hydraulics systems allowed Gradall excavators to deliver high productivity and comparable power on a realistic level to traditional excavators. The XL Series put an end to the first Gradall equipment power drawn from low pressure hydraulics and gear pumps. These traditional systems successfully handled grading and finishing work but had a difficult time competing for high productivity jobs.

The new XL Series Gradall excavators proved a significant increase in their digging and lifting ability. These versions were manufactured together with a piston pump, high-pressure hydraulics system which showed huge improvements in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was even developed with a load-sensing capability. Conventional excavators make use of an operator in order to choose a working-mode; where the Gradall system could automatically adjust the hydraulic power meant for the job at hand. This makes the operator's overall task easier and likewise conserves fuel simultaneously.

Once their XL Series hydraulics came onto the market, Gradall was essentially thrust into the highly competitive market of equipment designed to tackle pavement removal, excavation, demolition as well as several industrial work. Marketability was further enhanced with their telescoping boom due to its exclusive ability to better position attachments and to work in low overhead areas.
