Gradall Forklift Part

Gradall Forklift Parts - The Gradall excavator was the creation of two brothers Koop and ray Ferwerda. The excavator was established In the 1940's through WWII, 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, Palmdale construction company known as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda they lacked the available laborers in order to carry out the delicate tasks of finishing and grading on their freeway projects. The Ferwerda brothers chose to build a machine that will save their business by making the slope grading task less manual, easier and more efficient.

Their very first design prototype was a machine with two beams set on a rotating platform which was attached over a second-hand truck. A telescopic cylinder moved the beams forward and backward that enabled the fixed blade at the end of the beams to pull or push dirt. Shortly enhancing the first design, the brothers built a triangular boom so as 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 rear of the boom, powering a long push rod to allow the machinery 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 ground-breaking adjustment in their equipment since their invention. This new system of top-of-the-line hydraulics enabled the Gradall excavator to provide comparable power and high productivity to the more conventional excavators. The XL Series put an end to the original Gradall equipment power drawn from low pressure hydraulics and gear pumps. These traditional systems successfully handled finishing work and grading but had a hard time competing for high productivity tasks.

The new XL Series Gradall excavators proved a remarkable increase in their lifting and digging ability. These models were made with a piston pump, high-pressure hydraulics system that showed huge improvements in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was likewise developed together with a load-sensing capability. Traditional excavators utilize an operator to be able to select a working-mode; where the Gradall system could automatically adjust the hydraulic power meant for the task at hand. This makes the operator's general task easier and even conserves fuel at the same time.

As soon as their XL Series hydraulics came onto the market, Gradall was essentially thrust into the highly competitive market of equipment meant to deal with demolition, pavement removal, excavating as well as other industrial jobs. Marketability was further improved with their telescoping boom due to its exclusive ability to better position attachments and to work in low overhead areas.
