Gradall Forklift Parts

Gradall Forklift Parts - The Gradall excavator was the brainchild of two brothers Ray and Koop Ferwerda. The excavator was established In the 1940's during World War II, when there was a scarcity of labourers. 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 signed up in the military, depleting existing workers for the delicate finishing work and grading on highway projects. The Ferwerda brothers opted to make a machine which would save their company by making the slope grading job more efficient, less manual and easier.

Their first design model was a device with two beams set on a rotating platform which was affixed atop a used truck. A telescopic cylinder moved the beams forward and backward which allowed the fixed blade at the end of the beams to push or pull dirt. Soon enhancing the initial design, the brothers made a triangular boom in order to add more strength. What's more, they added a tilt cylinder which let the boom turn 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 innovative adjustment in their machines 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 conventional excavators. The XL Series ended 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 difficult time competing for high productivity jobs.

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 with a load-sensing capability. Conventional excavators utilize an operator to be able to choose a working-mode; where the Gradall system could automatically adjust the hydraulic power meant for the job at hand. This makes the operator's general work easier and even conserves fuel simultaneously.

When the new XL Series hydraulics became available in the market, Gradall was thrust into the vastly competitive industrial equipment market that are meant to deal with demolition, pavement removal, excavating and several industrial tasks. 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.
