Construction Equipment: General Service & Repair Manuals

Modern Diesel Technology : Heavy Equipment Systems

This book focuses on off-highway mobile equipment and provides clear guidance on the service and repair of heavy machinery, agricultural equipment, and powered lift trucks. Written by experienced technicians, the second edition brings together manufacturer-specific and general information in one reliable reference.

The chapters cover four main system groups: hydraulics, heavy-duty brakes, drivetrains, and steering, suspension, and track systems. Safety procedures and recommended work practices are explained throughout to support correct and efficient maintenance.

The updated edition also includes the latest developments in computer-controlled hydraulics, GPS functions, and electronic control systems used in modern equipment. It offers a practical overview for technicians who need to understand current technology and the expanding responsibilities involved in maintaining today's specialized machines.
