Gradall Forklift Parts

Gradall Forklift Part - The Gradall excavator was the creation of two brothers Koop and ray Ferwerda. The excavator was created In the 1940's all through World War II, when there was a scarcity of workers. Partners in a Cleveland, Lancaster construction business called Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda, the brothers faced a huge predicament when lots of men left the labor force and signed up in the military, depleting available workers for the delicate finishing work and grading on highway projects. The Ferwerda brothers chose to build a machine which will save their business by making the slope grading task more efficient, less manual and easier.

The initial excavator prototype consisted of a machine with two industrial beams on a rotating platform fixed to a used truck. There was a telescopic cylinder that was utilized to move the beams backward and forward. This enabled the fixed blade at the far end of the beams to pull or push the dirt. Shortly improving the initial design, the brothers built a triangular boom to be able to add more strength. As well, they added a tilt cylinder that let the boom turn 45 degrees in both directions. A cylinder was placed at the back of the boom, powering a long push rod to enable the machine to be equipped with either a blade or a bucket attachment.

Gradall launched in 1992, with the introduction of the new XL Series hydraulics, the most innovative adjustment in their machines ever since their creation. This new system of top-of-the-line hydraulics enabled the Gradall excavator to deliver comparable power and high productivity to the more conventional excavators. The XL Series put an end to the first Gradall equipment power drawn from gear pumps and low pressure hydraulics. These conventional 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 remarkable increase in their digging and lifting ability. These models were made 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 likewise developed along with a load-sensing capability. Traditional excavators use an operator in order to select a working-mode; where the Gradall system could automatically adjust the hydraulic power intended for the task at hand. This makes the operator's whole job easier and also saves fuel simultaneously.

Once the new XL Series hydraulics reached the market, Gradall was thrust into the very competitive industrial machinery market which are meant to tackle excavating, demolition, pavement removal and various industrial tasks. The introduction of the new telescoping boom helped to further enhance the excavator's marketability. The telescoping boom gives the excavator the ability to better position attachments and to work in low overhead areas.
