Gehl Telescopic Handlers Feature Increased Load Capacities

Staff -- Associated Construction Publications, 4/15/2008

Gehl Company has increased load capacities to the DL Series Dynalift® Telescopic Handlers. The 2008 DL Series Telescopic Handlers are available with lift capacities from 7,000 to 12,000 pounds and with lift heights from 40 to 55 feet. These models are designed with a high-profile boom configuration to provide maximum visibility in any working environment.

In addition to a new standard of maneuverability, stability, versatility and serviceability, the Gehl Dynalift® Telescopic Handlers now feature powerful Tier III engines with cleaner emissions to ensure compliance with stringent environmental laws.

The units offer unsurpassed control in tight confines due to a 12 feet 2 inch turning radius and an overall height of only 7 feet 8 inches. Each model features a rear axle stabilization system for improved stability in all working environments. In addition, the units do not require fluid-filled tires to meet stability requirements, and outriggers are optional.

Two attachment mounting systems provide the telescopic handlers more versatility. The Dynattach® System is optimal for standard lifting applications, and the Dynacarrier® System has the digging capacity of a loader, making it ideal in more heavy-duty applications, plus a growing list of tool-type attachments deliver more jobsite applications.

Serviceability is outstanding with the side-mounted engine compartment and drivetrain configuration. The entire engine is accessible under an easy-lift engine cover, and a mid-frame cover provides access to the transmission, transfer case, electrical and hydraulic components. They also offer a large operator's compartment, ergonomically tailored to suit any operator's needs. Standard canopy or optional fully enclosed cab with heat and optional air conditioning is offered.

In addition, precise control has never been easier due to a single joystick, available in dual- or tri-function option which allows for proportional control of attachments and auxiliary hydraulics rated at 43 gpm. The tri-function joystick allows the operator to preset a preferred flow to the attachment for optimum performance, yet with the squeeze of a trigger to activate full flow for faster cycle times.

Options on the models include the innovative, exclusive Personnel Work Platform Safety System and the Radio Remote Boom Control System.
