Earth moving equipment: books - history and technology

A book on earth moving equipment? Here are books on the history and technology of crawler dozers, wheel loaders, graders, scrapers and other machines.

Die Geschichte der Baggerlader (Band 1)

Der Brite Joseph Cyril Bamford (JCB) stellt 1953 eine Arbeitsmaschine vor, die im Heck einen Bagger und in der Front eine massive Ladeschaufel hat. Als Basis dient ein Traktor. Seit den 1960er Jahren entwickeln auch deutsche Traktoren-Hersteller eigene Varianten des Baggerladers.

Herausragend ist die Entwicklung von Massey Ferguson mit dem Instant-Reverse, einem Umkehrgetriebe mit Drehmomentwandler. Weitere Entwicklungen erleichtern zunehmend die Arbeit mit dem Mehrzweckgerät: Selbstnivellierende Schaufel, Schnellwechsler, hydraulisch verstellbarer Seitenschub und teleskopierbarer Löffelstiel sind nur ein Teil der Innovationen.
Rudi Heppe präsentiert die Geschichte der deutschen Baggerladerhersteller und zeigt die Vielfalt der Typen anhand seltener Fotografien aus fast sieben Jahrzehnten.

Classic Vintage Crawlers and Dozers (Volume 1)

This first volume, which includes Allis-Chalmers and Case, as well as Caterpillar from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, takes a long and colorful look at the development of the crawler tractor and bulldozer. The crawler photographs and text are arranged chronologically so the reader can follow development of the machines through the years.

Throughout the research period for this book, hundreds of black and white and color photographs were taken at shows, and numerous illustrations were gathered from libraries, machinery manufacturing companies and from private collections, and this first volume includes nearly 400 of them.

Hatra Baumaschinen und Schiffe

NEW

From a small locksmith shop emerged, starting in 1919, a successful shipbuilding company and a large construction equipment factory: Hatra!
After World War II, Hans Hagelstein led his company to the forefront of the German construction machinery industry. The legendary Kemna road rollers, award-winning construction machines, and state-of-the-art hydraulic excavators defined construction sites worldwide for nearly 30 years.
For over a decade, shipbuilding also dominated in Travemünde, producing numerous new vessels for the world's oceans. In addition to sea vessels, Hatra sport boats were part of the incredibly diverse production program of the once most lucrative company in Schleswig-Holstein, employing over 1,000 people.

Beyond a comprehensive historical overview of the company, the book meticulously describes the ships and all Hatra construction machinery in technical detail. It also sheds light on various historical contexts and extraordinary events throughout the company's history.
