Going back to the World War II years, when there was a shortage of workers and machines, Gradall excavators were invented to fill the void. Now, 80 years later, Gradall excavators continue to meet the needs of governments, contractors and others with versatile machines that efficiently handle many different jobs, while at the same time eliminating much of the need for manual labor.

The source of Gradall’s famed excavator versatility is its full tilting, telescoping boom. A key advantage for every Gradall excavator model, the strong boom uses overlapping sections, a state-of-the-art load-sensing hydraulic system and easy-to-manage joystick controls to extend and tilt the boom and attachments with exceptional accuracy and full power.
