Subject: Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technology
Grade Level: 9-14
- Heavy Equipment Power Trains and Systems covers the latest power train technology on the market, including later-model continuously variable transmissions. It provides extensive, balanced coverage of agricultural equipment and off-highway equipment from all sectors of the heavy equipment industry, including construction, mining, and forestry, and includes detailed technical information about equipment from a wide range of manufacturers. Heavily illustrated and featuring many detailed cut-away mechanical drawings developed by author Tim Dell, this text allows students to become familiar with equipment that may not be available in their labs. Case Studies throughout the text describe how the theory and procedures detailed in the chapter are applied to real-world diagnosis and service of specific types of heavy equipment. The Lab Workbook includes more than 45 jobs that address key activities in the Power Train and Safety sections of the ASE Heavy Equipment Technology standards
- Covers all the competencies required by the AED Foundation for power trains, along with safety and selected critical functions in hydraulics/hydrostatics
- Features Review and Assessment questions, including Critical Thinking questions, that promote students' ability to think for themselves and use resources to find answers
- Includes more than 1,000 images to engage students and support learning
