Gradall Forklift Part

Gradall Forklift Parts - All through the time when World War II created a scarcity of workers, the famous Gradall excavator was founded in the 1940s as the brainchild of two brothers Ray and Koop Ferwerda. Partners in a Cleveland, Ohio construction company referred to as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda, the brothers faced a huge dilemma when a lot of men left the workforce and signed up in the military, depleting existing laborers for the delicate finishing work and grading on highway projects. The Ferwerda brothers chose to make an equipment that would save their business by making the slope grading work more efficient, less manual and easier.

Their initial design prototype was a machine with two beams set on a rotating platform that was attached atop a second-hand truck. A telescopic cylinder moved the beams forward and backward which enabled the fixed blade at the end of the beams to push or pull dirt. Shortly enhancing the initial design, the brothers made a triangular boom so as to add more strength. Additionally, they added a tilt cylinder that let the boom rotate 45 degrees in either direction. A cylinder was positioned at the back of the boom, powering a long push rod to allow the machine to be equipped with either a blade or a bucket attachment.

Gradall launched in the year 1992, with the introduction of the new XL Series hydraulics, the most ground-breaking adjustment in their equipment ever since their invention. This new system of top-of-the-line hydraulics allowed the Gradall excavator to provide comparable power and high productivity to the more traditional excavators. The XL Series put an end to the initial Gradall equipment power drawn from low pressure hydraulics and gear pumps. These conventional systems efficiently handled finishing work and grading but had a hard time competing for high productivity work.

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 which showed noticeable improvement in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was also developed with a load-sensing capability. Conventional 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 overall job easier and also conserves fuel simultaneously.

As soon as the new XL Series hydraulics became available in the market, Gradall was thrust into the extremely competitive industrial machine market that are meant to deal with pavement removal, excavating, demolition and different 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 work in low overhead areas and to better position attachments.
