The initial excavator prototype consisted of a device with two industrial beams on a rotating platform fixed to a second-hand truck. There was a telescopic cylinder which was used to move the beams back and forth. This enabled the fixed blade at the far end of the beams to pull or push the dirt. Shortly improving the first design, the brothers made a triangular boom to add more strength. Also, they added a tilt cylinder that let the boom turn 45 degrees in both directions. A cylinder was placed at the back of the boom, powering a long push rod to enable the machine to be outfitted with either a blade or a bucket attachment.
1992 marked a momentous year for Gradall with their introduction of XL Series hydraulics, the most remarkable change in the company's excavators since their invention. These top-of-the-line hydraulics systems allowed Gradall excavators to provide high productivity and comparable power on a realistic level to conventional excavators. The XL Series ended the original Gradall equipment power drawn from low pressure hydraulics and gear pumps. These traditional systems efficiently handled grading and finishing work but had a hard time competing for high productivity tasks.
Gradall's new XL Series excavators showed more ability to lift and dig materials. With this series, the models were made together with a piston pump, high-pressure system of hydraulics that showed marked improvement in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was even developed along with a load-sensing capability. Traditional excavators utilize an operator in order to choose a working-mode; where the Gradall system can automatically adjust the hydraulic power for the job at hand. This makes the operator's general job easier and likewise conserves fuel simultaneously.
