Heavy equipment systems

Modern Diesel Technology: Heavy Equipment Systems is the only textbook on the market that deals exclusively with off-highway mobile equipment systems. Designed to meet the specific needs of technicians in the specialty areas of heavy equipment, agricultural equipment, and powered lift truck technology, this book marks a valuable departure from the books aimed at truck technicians and the manufacturer-produced literature that specialty technicians have had to rely on for so long. The book begins with a chapter on basic safety, and is then broken down into four sections to address the four key elements of heavy equipment

Yellow Steel: The Story of the Earthmoving Equipment Industry

In his book "Yellow Steel", the first overarching history of the earthmoving equipment industry, William Haycraft examines the tremendous increase in the scope of mining and construction projects, from the Suez Canal through the interstate highway system, made possible by innovations in earthmoving machinery.

harvesters construction equipment division

This is an excellent book on history of international harvester and Frank G. Hough construction equipment companies. It describes the creation and merger of these companies and their subsequent success and failures of their products. I enjoyed reading construction machinery books that are not afraid to describe in detail why a particular piece of equipment failed in the field due to some type of design flaw.This author did not disappoint me in that area.As always plenty of neat photos of brand new equipment right out of the factory and also in use at job sites past to present.Only minor gripe I have is the dedication page credits some of the authors machinery photos that are nowhere to be found.This seems trivial but seems to be a trend as another earthmover book like PayLine: International Harvester's Construction Equipment Division
