Gradall Forklift Part

Gradall Forklift Parts - During the time when WWII caused a scarcity of workers, the legendary Gradall excavator was born in the 1940s as the creation of two brothers Koop and Ray Ferwerda. The brothers faced the problems of a depleted labor force due to the war. As partners in their Cleveland, Ohio construction business referred to as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda they lacked the existing workers so as to do the delicate tasks of finishing and grading on their interstate projects. The Ferwerda brothers chose to make an equipment that would save their company by making the slope grading task more efficient, less manual and easier.

Their initial design model was a device with two beams set on a rotating platform that was affixed atop a used truck. A telescopic cylinder moved the beams back and forth that allowed the fixed blade at the end of the beams to push or pull dirt. Shortly enhancing the first design, the brothers built a triangular boom to be able to add more strength. Additionally, they added a tilt cylinder that let the boom rotate 45 degrees in both directions. A cylinder was placed at the back of the boom, powering a long push rod to enable the equipment 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 machinery 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 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 jobs.

Gradall's new XL Series excavators showed more ability to lift and dig materials. With this series, the models were produced together 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 also developed together with a load-sensing capability. Traditional excavators utilize an operator so as to select a working-mode; where the Gradall system can automatically adjust the hydraulic power for the job at hand. This makes the operator's overall job easier and even conserves fuel simultaneously.

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