Gradall website offers excavator specification literature dating back to 1940s
Gradall Industries Inc. has launched a new website feature that makes specification and operating range literature available for the company's excavator models dating back over 60 years.
"The literature archive section was launched in response to the many requests Gradall regularly receives from people who still own an older model, are thinking of acquiring a pre-owned model, are making arrangements for shipping excavators, or from people who wish to recall certain machines they once operated," the New Philadelphia, Ohio-based company said in a news release.
The literature library covers Gradall excavators dating back to the M-2460 models – the world’s first telescopic boom hydraulic excavators that helped launch Gradall in the 1940s.
It also includes the G-1000 machines that were critical in building the American interstate highway system in the 1950s.
The site includes construction machines as well as models developed for mining, metal mill maintenance, rail system maintenance and the new Series III models.
All of the literature is in PDF files that can be downloaded and printed, reflecting the original graphic designs.
To access the library, visit the Gradall primary web site, and follow the link to the literature archive library. A simple pull-down menu will allow you to select the model that interests you.
The web site will provide a list of all literature available for that specific model, which can then be downloaded.
There is no charge for the literature download.
