For trade school and college-level courses in Heavy Duty Equipment

A Practical Guide to Working with Heavy Equipment

Heavy Duty Equipment Technology: A Systems Approach is a comprehensive textbook that covers the latest technology in machine systems. Using common language and real work experiences that students and instructors can relate to, Heavy Duty Equipment is designed to be a primary reference tool.

In this First Edition, system operational principles and safety practices are discussed in simple terms to help students quickly grasp key concepts and gain a base level of understanding that they can build on with work experience. With a strong foundation in place, students will be well-equipped to understand system servicing as well as repair requirements and procedures.

Written from both a technician's and a professor's perspective, Heavy Duty Equipment is a "bumper to bumper" textbook that covers ALL systems found on heavy duty machinery.


About the Author: Scott A. Heard

Scott A. Heard graduated from the Heavy Equipment Technician Program at Fleming College in 1986 and completed his apprenticeship thereafter with the Ontario Caterpillar dealer. Heard moved into Field Service and worked for a variety of different companies gaining experience as a Field Service Technician as well as working in a limestone quarry operation. He has worked on all types and makes of heavy equipment machines and has a strong passion for all things heavy equipment related.

While looking for a new challenge he decided to try teaching at the college level and started teaching a maintenance class to heavy equipment operators. This eventually led to Heard gaining a Professor position at Centennial College in Toronto where he taught Heavy Equipment Technician Apprentices in all the different subject areas. Heard now teaches at Fleming College in Lindsay Ontario and is also the Program Coordinator for three heavy equipment related programs.

Heard was presented an opportunity to write a textbook a few years ago and decided he would put all of his years as a technician as well as his recent teaching experience towards making a high-quality reference book for students and instructors.
