Gehl loaders turn at angles up to 45˚

— filed under: ,

Three all-new, uniquely different Gehl articulated loaders, feature tipping loads ranging from 873kg to more than 2.3t.

  
Gehl loaders turn at angles up to 45˚

The 140, 340 and 540 models are powered by Interim Tier IV Yanmar diesel engines ranging from 17kW on the model 140 to 35kW on the 540.
They are designed to go almost anywhere and do almost anything, the company says. Heavy-duty oscillating joints offer 45 turning angles to the left and right and 10 of oscillation in both directions for optimal stability and maneuverability.
Bucket and tyres follow a constant turn radius, so rear tyres follow the path of the front ones. Narrow machine widths allow access to tight, confined spaces that most skidsteers with comparable operating capacities cannot access.
Two easily accessible auxiliary hydraulic lines with flat-face couplers power a variety of tools and make attachment changes easy. Lift arm and bucket float features allow for “floating” of the lift arm and bucket for light scraping and rearward leveling actions.
Uniquely-designed lift arms are designed to achieve maximum strength, excellent visibility and fast cycle times. The parallel-type linkage on the models 140 and 340, and “Z” bar-type linkage on the model 540, provide excellent bucket breakout forces too. The unique linkage design, allows for mechanical self-leveling action both up and down, excellent bucket dump angles at the mid- and top-ranges of the lift path, as well as outstanding forward reach.
A complete cab enclosure option is available on the models 340 and 540, providing enhanced comfort and safety for all-day-long operations. Excellent 360 visibility is achieved by positioning the operator above the load for safe operation and excellent view of the attachment.
A multi-function joystick controls the lift arm, bucket, float, travel direction, differential lock and auxiliary hydraulic functions. An inching pedal allows operators to vary ground speed while maintaining a fixed engine speed, to optimally run attachments while enabling precise machine speed control.
