Gradall Forklift Parts

Gradall Forklift Parts - The Gradall excavator was the idea of two brothers Koop and ray Ferwerda. The excavator was created In the 1940's all through WWII, when there was a scarcity of workers. The brothers faced the problems of a depleted workforce due to the war. As partners in their Cleveland, Ohio construction business called Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda they lacked the existing workers to be able to carry out the delicate work of finishing and grading on their highway projects. The Ferwerda brothers chose to make a machine which would save their company by making the slope grading task easier, more efficient and less manual.

The initial excavator prototype consisted of a machine with two industrial beams on a rotating platform fixed to a second-hand truck. There was a telescopic cylinder which was utilized to move the beams backward and forward. This allowed the fixed blade at the far end of the beams to pull or push the dirt. Soon improving the initial design, the brothers made a triangular boom to add more strength. Also, 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 allow the equipment to be equipped with either a bucket or a blade attachment.

Gradall launched in 1992, with the introduction of the new XL Series hydraulics, the most innovative adjustment in their machinery ever since their creation. This new system of top-of-the-line hydraulics allowed the Gradall excavator to deliver high productivity and comparable power to the more conventional excavators. The XL Series ended the original Gradall equipment power drawn from gear pumps and low pressure hydraulics. These conventional systems successfully handled finishing work and grading but had a difficult time competing for high productivity work.

Gradall's new XL Series excavators showed more ability to lift and dig materials. With this series, the models were produced along with a piston pump, high-pressure system of hydraulics which showed distinct improvement in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was even developed together with a load-sensing capability. Conventional excavators use an operator in order to choose a working-mode; where the Gradall system could automatically adjust the hydraulic power intended for the task at hand. This makes the operator's general work easier and even conserves fuel at the same time.

As soon as the new XL Series hydraulics reached the market, Gradall was thrust into the very competitive industrial machine market that are designed to tackle pavement removal, excavating, demolition and several industrial jobs. The introduction of the new telescoping boom helped to further improve the excavator's marketability. The telescoping boom gives the excavator the ability to better position attachments and to work in low overhead areas.
