Attachments for Gradall Forklifts

Gradall Forklift Attachments - All through the time when WWII caused a shortage of laborers, the legendary Gradall excavator was founded in the 1940s as the creation of two brothers Koop and Ray Ferwerda. Partners in a Cleveland, Ohio construction company called Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda, the brothers faced a huge predicament when lots of men left the labor force 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 a machine that would save their company by making the slope grading job easier, more efficient and less manual.

Their first design model was a device with two beams set on a rotating platform which was attached atop a used 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. Soon improving the very first design, the brothers made a triangular boom to be able to add more strength. Moreover, they added a tilt cylinder which let the boom turn 45 degrees in either direction. A cylinder was placed at the back of the boom, powering a long push rod to allow the machinery 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 equipment since their creation. This new system of top-of-the-line hydraulics enabled the Gradall excavator to provide high productivity and comparable power to the more traditional excavators. The XL Series put an end to the first Gradall equipment power drawn from low pressure hydraulics and gear pumps. These conventional systems effectively handled finishing work and grading but had a difficult 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 manufactured along with a piston pump, high-pressure hydraulics system which showed huge improvements in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was likewise developed together with a load-sensing capability. Conventional excavators make use of an operator to be able to choose a working-mode; where the Gradall system could automatically adjust the hydraulic power for the job at hand. This makes the operator's whole job easier and also saves fuel at the same time.

Once the new XL Series hydraulics reached the market, Gradall was thrust into the extremely competitive industrial machine market that are designed to deal with pavement removal, excavating, demolition and different industrial tasks. The introduction of the new telescoping boom helped to further enhance the excavator's marketability. The telescoping boom gives the excavator the ability to better position attachments and to work in low overhead areas.
