Gehl has redesigned five skid steer loaders and compact track loaders ranging in operating capacity from 3,250 pounds to 3,600 pounds: V325, V335, and V360 Gehl skid steer loaders; and VT335 and VT360 Gehl CTLs. See below for specifications.
The large-frame loaders are vertical lift units and have optional side counterweights. The same lineup is also marketed under the Manitou brand, Gehl's parent.
The loaders have up to 50.3 hydraulic horsepower with an optional boost to 82 hydraulic horsepower. Standard load sensing hydraulics optimize performance and drive fuel efficiency as the machine only puts out as much power as is necessary for the task. Standard flow rates are up to 25 gpm and 3,450 psi, and high flow rates are up to 40 gpm and 3,450 psi. Variable rate flow controls allow the operator to set the flow going to each attachment for optimal performance of the attachment and efficiency of the machine.
The new lift-arm design slopes away from the operator at the top of the arm and allows for hydraulic lines to either run inside of the arm or underneath it for greater protection. The contour of the arms prevents material from building up on the machine and improves visibility down to the side of the machine.
Hydraglide comfort ride control boom suspension is now standard, improving material retention and operator comfort. Skid steer models feature an adjustable arm downstop to accommodate different tire sizes depending on the application/owner preference.
A patent-pending sloped roof and a large skylight allows the front crossbar to be smaller, which improves visibility when loading trucks or placing pallets or other material off the ground. An optional Level 2 Falling Object Protective Structure also features brackets that protect the machine’s LED work lights.
The undercarriage has been upgraded with steel-forged hardened sprockets with a corrosion inhibitor for longer life; dual flange idlers in both the front and rear to prevent de-tracking and reduce vibrations and service; and triple flange rollers to reduce vibration, prevent de-tracking and limit spills.
The standard front LED worklights create wide illumination and offer an egress time delay for operators exiting the machine in the dark. Rear work lights and turn signals come standard, with options available for road lights (low beam/high beam/turn signal), hazard lights, and optional side lights tucked under the lift arm.
A new 7-inch color display has a back-lit keypad near the right armrest that matches intuitive operation with almost full machine control. Additional standard features include a foot pedal for throttle and deceleration (depending on application), cabin dome lights, 12V and USB charging ports with device storage areas, and removable rubber floor mats with a drain for easy clean out.
The cab has an adjustable workstation that allows the operator to set it up to their preference. Pilot joysticks move with the operator seat, and armrests adjust independently. The all-new smart throttle adjusts engine speeds based on a variety of operating factors, and starts at low idle for fuel efficiency and safety. Creep mode is also available to independently set ground speed from throttle input.
Each machine is also competitive or superior in bucket breakout force (10,624 pounds), lift arm breakout force (7,041 – 7,116 pounds), hinge pin height (up to 136 inches) and auxiliary hydraulic performance (both in standard and high-flow, gallons per minute (GPM) and pressure). The new lineup is built with vertical lift arms for optimal truck loading and stable material handling, while strong cast link construction supports ground engaging performance and steady attachment
Large engine compartments allow space for accessing critical service items and fill points. An all-new tilt-up hydraulic cooler improves rear visibility through a lower rear profile and allows for even greater access to the engine compartment. That cooler is available with a reversible fan option set either based on pre-set intervals or on-demand.
