Gradall Forklift Parts

Gradall Forklift Parts - The Gradall excavator was the creation of two brothers Koop and ray Ferwerda. The excavator was established In the 1940's throughout WWII, when there was a shortage of workers. Partners in a Cleveland, Ohio construction business called Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda, the brothers faced a huge predicament when so many men left the labor force and joined the military, depleting available workers for the delicate finishing work and grading on highway projects. The Ferwerda brothers decided to make a machine that will save their business by making the slope grading work more efficient, less manual and easier.

The very first excavator prototype consisted of a device 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 back and forth. This enabled the fixed blade at the far end of the beams to push or pull the dirt. Soon enhancing the first design, the brothers made a triangular boom to add more strength. What's more, they added a tilt cylinder that let the boom rotate 45 degrees in either direction. A cylinder was positioned at the rear of the boom, powering a long push rod to allow the machine to be outfitted 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 ever since their creation. This new system of top-of-the-line hydraulics enabled the Gradall excavator to provide comparable power and high productivity to the more traditional excavators. The XL Series put an end to the original Gradall equipment power drawn from gear pumps and low pressure hydraulics. These traditional systems effectively handled grading and finishing work but had a hard time competing for high productivity tasks.

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

Once their XL Series hydraulics became available, Gradall was essentially thrust into the highly competitive market of machines meant to deal with demolition, pavement removal, excavating as well as other industrial jobs. Marketability was further enhanced with their telescoping boom because of its exclusive ability to work in low overhead areas and to better position attachments.
