Gradall Forklift Part

Gradall Forklift Part - Throughout the time when WWII created a scarcity of laborers, the famous Gradall excavator was established in the 1940s as the brainchild of two brothers Ray and Koop Ferwerda. The brothers faced the problems of a depleted workforce due to the war. As partners in their Cleveland, Temecula construction business referred to as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda they lacked the available laborers so as to perform the delicate work of grading and finishing on their freeway 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.

The 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 allowed the fixed blade at the far end of the beams to pull or push the dirt. Shortly improving the initial design, the brothers made a triangular boom to be able to add more strength. Moreover, they added a tilt cylinder which let the boom rotate 45 degrees in both directions. A cylinder was positioned at the rear of the boom, powering a long push rod to enable the machinery to be outfitted with either a blade or a bucket attachment.

The year 1992 marked a crucial year for Gradall with their launch of XL Series hydraulics, the most amazing change in the company's excavators since their invention. These top-of-the-line hydraulics systems allowed Gradall excavators to provide comparable power and high productivity on a realistic level to traditional excavators. The XL Series ended the first Gradall equipment power drawn from low pressure hydraulics and gear pumps. These conventional systems successfully handled grading and finishing work but had a hard time competing for high productivity work.

The new XL Series Gradall excavators proved a significant increase in their lifting and digging ability. These versions were made with a piston pump, high-pressure hydraulics system that showed huge improvements in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was even developed with a load-sensing capability. Conventional excavators make use of an operator so as to pick a working-mode; where the Gradall system can automatically adjust the hydraulic power intended for the task at hand. This makes the operator's general task easier and likewise saves fuel at the same time.

When their XL Series hydraulics came onto the market, Gradall was essentially thrust into the highly competitive market of equipment meant to deal with excavation, demolition, pavement removal as well as different industrial tasks. Marketability was further enhanced with their telescoping boom because of its exclusive ability to work in low overhead areas and to better position attachments.
