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 RS5-19 is 11', RS6-34 is
12'6", RS6-42 13'8" and13'8" on the RS8-42 and RS8-44. A
rear-axle stabilization cylinder has been
incorporated for added safety.
SAHR PARKING BRAKE
An 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/ ITSDF 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
-
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

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!
