BORN ON THE AMERICAN FARM
in 1859 and job-tested in today's most demanding environment, we are built and trusted by those who know true satisfaction comes from a job well done.
To put it simply: agriculture is in our DNA. At GEHL, we know if equipment can be successful in that demanding environment, it can be successful anywhere.
As an industry leader for over 160 years, our material-handling and earth-moving equipment speaks for itself. If it doesn’t work like you, it’s not a GEHL machine.
MANITOU ASIA
OUR TEAM
Our engineers and drivers thoroughly assess products in real-world environments that mimic how they’re used in everyday situations. This ensures each machine will operate as an extension of the person operating it.
OUR COMMITMENT
We have committed a significant financial investment to the development of products that include an extensive amount of end-user research to ensure features and specifications meet and exceed real-world demands.
OUR DELIVERY
Fleets trust GEHL products to dependably deliver for their customers in all the demanding environments they service.
OUR MACHINES
Every machine we manufacture and assemble nationwide (as well as around the globe) is built with operator safety at its core. Our machine cabs deliver top-of-the-line rollover and falling-object protection.
