Haulpak and Lectra Haul: The World's Greatest Off-Highway Earthmoving Trucks

In quarries and mines around the world, Haulpak and Lectra Haul off-highway haulers are legendary and are some of the largest trucks in operation today.
The Haulpak truck line launched in the late 1950s and the Lectra Haul diesel-electric drive truck introduced in the early 1960s, shaped the way all modern off-highway haulers are designed even to this day. The Haulpak name was carried by such companies as LeTourneau-Westinghouse / WABCO (Westinghouse Air Brake Company), Dresser, Komatsu-Dresser, and finally Komatsu.

Lectra Haul was the trademark name for trucks built by Unit Rig, which would become part of Terex, Bucyrus International, and now Caterpillar, Inc. Each truck's designs were the templates for most future mining hauler models in use around the world.
Construction Equipment author Eric Orlemann honors these off-highway marvels that carried these names, both past and present, with historic and modern photography, much of it never seen in published form before.

JCB Scrapbook - Celebrating 75 years of engineering innovation

En octobre 1945, Joseph Cyril Bamford fonda une entreprise qui allait transformer les secteurs de la construction et de l'agriculture. JCB créa le premier chargeur-pelleteuse au monde, un modèle encore au cœur de son activité.

En 75 ans, l'entreprise est devenue un leader mondial, fabriquant plus de 300 types de machines sur quatre continents. JCB reste fidèle à ses valeurs d'origine en tant qu'entreprise familiale produisant des machines fiables. Elle est aujourd'hui dirigée par Lord Anthony Bamford.

Ce livre illustré rend hommage à JCB et à ses machines présentes dans le monde entier. Il retrace l'histoire de l'entreprise, du premier chariot fabriqué en 1945 à partir de métal de récupération jusqu'aux dernières mini-pelles électriques, à travers une collection d'images issues des archives de JCB.

Die Geschichte der Baggerlader (Band 2)

In 1953, the Briton Joseph Cyril Bamford (JCB) introduced a work machine that had an excavator at the rear and a massive loading shovel at the front. A tractor served as the basis. Since the 1960s, other tractor manufacturers have also been developing their own versions of the backhoe loader.
Massey Ferguson's development of the Instant Reverse, a reversing gear with torque converter, is outstanding. Further developments make working with the multi-purpose device increasingly easier: self-leveling shovel, quick coupler, hydraulically adjustable sideshift and telescopic dipper stick are just some of the innovations.

In this second volume, Rudi Heppe presents the history of foreign backhoe loader manufacturers and shows the variety of types using rare photographs from almost seven decades.

Hatra Baumaschinen und Schiffe

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.
