FEATURES AND BENEFITS
SPACIOUS ROPS/FOPS CAB
The RS Series have spacious, modern operator
stations that provide pilot-assisted
controls that are easy-to-reach and
easy-to-operate, optimizing operator
productivity and precision. The view
from the cab is a full 360°. A storage
box is located under the seat. A
suspension seat is optional.
TIGHTER TURNING RADIUS
The RS Series machines are unsurpassed
when it comes to stability and
maneuverability in tight jobsites, because
of their tight turning radius and low overall
height. The turning radius on the RS5 is
12'6" and 13'8" on the RS6 and RS8. A
rear-axle stabilization cylinder has been
incorporated for added safety.
SAHR PARKING BRAKE
A SAHR (Spring-Applied, Hydraulic-Released) parking
brake located in the front axle is standard equipment. The
brake applies automatically when the
engine shuts off, or by simply pressing
the rocker switch. This new design eliminates
cable stretch and adjustments
associated with
other telescopic handlers.
PERSONNEL WORK PLATFORM SAFETY SYSTEM
The patented Gehl Personnel
Work Platform (PWP) Safety System is
now optional. It allows the use ofANSI/
ASME B56.6-compliant work platforms, which are commonly used by
framers and roofing contractors.
The PWP Safety System adds more versatility
to the telescopic handler,
making jobs almost as easy
as working at ground level.
REMOTE BOOM CONTROL SYSTEM
Productivity made simple.
Never again will an operator have to rely on another crew member to get him into position at the jobsite. With the remote boom control system from Gehl, a single operator can control boom extension, retraction and height – from outside the cab . When placing loads, a single operator can leave the cab and control boom functions from a location with better visibility – even from within a building!
-
Controls boom functions and engine power-up and shut-down from outside the cab, including from within a work platform
-
Includes all the safety functions of the Gehl-exclusive, patented Personnel Work Platform (PWP) System
-
Wireless remote control with FHSS (frequency-hopping spread-spectrum) technology that concentrates a signal into a narrow frequency band and randomly changes frequencies to prevent signal errors
- Can be used with any approved Dynattach carriage attachment
and compatible with any ANSI/ASME-compliant work platform
ATTACHMENTS AVAILABLE
- Carriage Forks Auger
- Masonry Carriage
- Jib Boom
- Framer Carriage
- Truss Boom
