Gradall Forklift Parts

Gradall Forklift Part - The Gradall excavator was the creation of two brothers Ray and Koop Ferwerda. The excavator was established In the 1940's through World War II, when there was a scarcity of workers. Partners in a Cleveland, Ohio construction company referred to as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda, the brothers faced a huge predicament when a lot of men left the workforce and joined the military, depleting existing laborers for the delicate grading and finishing work on highway projects. The Ferwerda brothers decided to build an equipment which will save their company by making the slope grading job more efficient, less manual and easier.

The first 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 used to move the beams back and forth. This enabled the fixed blade at the far end of the beams to pull or push the dirt. Soon improving the initial design, the brothers built a triangular boom so as to add more strength. As well, they added a tilt cylinder which 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 enable the equipment to be equipped with either a blade or a bucket attachment.

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

The new XL Series Gradall excavators proved a remarkable increase in their digging and lifting ability. These versions were manufactured together with a piston pump, high-pressure hydraulics system that showed immense improvements in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was even developed along with a load-sensing capability. Conventional excavators make use of an operator to be able to choose a working-mode; where the Gradall system can automatically adjust the hydraulic power meant for the task at hand. This makes the operator's general task easier and also conserves fuel at the same time.

As soon as their XL Series hydraulics became available, Gradall was basically thrust into the highly competitive market of equipment designed to deal with demolition, pavement removal, excavating and different industrial work. Marketability was further enhanced with their telescoping boom due to its exclusive ability to better position attachments and to work in low overhead areas.
