Exclusively with Off-Highway Mobile Heavy Equipment Systems,
Agricultural Equipment, and Powered Lift Truck Technology
By Robert Huzij,

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 systems: hydraulics, heavy duty
brake systems, drive train systems, and steering, suspension, and
track systems. Written by an author team with extensive experience,
both as professionals in the industry and as teachers of specialty
technician programs, this book will provide readers with an in-depth
understanding of the skills and concepts needed to be an effective
technician in this specialty field.
Features:
- Detailed illustrations and photographs
provide visual clarification of key concepts
- Straightforward, reader-friendly writing
style makes the information easy to grasp
- Coverage of the full range of mobile
heavy equipment manufactured and marketed in North America makes
the book a comprehensive resource that will prepare readers for
a wide range of experiences in the field
- Focus on performance-based learning
outcomes ensures that theories are clearly related to practical,
hands-on tasks to make explanations more meaningful
