Gehl began operating way back in 1895 and their first skid steer was first manufactured in 1973. In 2010, their first fully electric skid steer was produced. They concentrate on manufacturing agricultural equipment although some of their skid steers could be used in the construction business.
Gehl produces six skid steers, some of which are vertical lift and others, radial lifts, so you have a choice to suit your requirements. The vertical lift skid steer provides excellent reach at full lift height. The radial lift loaders have good reach in the middle of the lift path.
The R135 GEN: 2 skid loader is an great option that includes a compact body style with a little extra lifting capacity compared to our smallest loaders. Still able to be easily transported and the operator experience is very intuitive. New low effort controls in the GEN:2 help with operator fatigue after a long day behind the controls.
Boasting 862 kg of rated operating capacity this machine is not to be underestimated. With the optional counterweight added this machine can lift over a ton! Remember to consider how you’ll be transporting the machine you choose because a smaller body style may play to your advantage.
The R260 is largest radial lift skid loader in GEHL’s offering, and it doesn’t disappoint. With 1,179 kg. of rated operating capacity, it would be hard to find an application tougher than this machine.
