GEHL: Mastering Durable Equipment for Tunneling
Decades of experience have enabled GEHL to make a significant contribution to the tunneling sector. Tunnel construction imposes rigorous constraints, requiring exceptionally robust machinery capable of withstanding impacts and operating in dusty atmospheres and extreme conditions. GEHL solutions are designed to meet your needs for managing logistics platforms, performing construction work, and deploying infrastructure, including voussoir installation, rebar work, and ventilation systems. Versatile and all-terrain, our machines optimize your fleet while ensuring strict compliance with safety standards. This in-depth understanding of the field allows us to provide material handling equipment specifically calibrated for tunnel construction.
Specialized Machines for Tunneling Challenges
The tunneling sector presents unique challenges. Professionals in this field are required daily to work in demanding environments (particle-laden atmospheres, high temperatures), often in confined spaces. To guarantee your operational safety and superior comfort, GEHL has developed all-terrain systems, capable of solving all your problems, for both underground handling and surface operations.
Outdoor Material Handling Operations
GEHL offers a wide range of multifunctional machines for your surface tunneling operations. Our telehandlers are designed to integrate perfectly with all your requirements for managing logistics bases, construction phases, and infrastructure installation.
Our construction telehandlers (fixed or rotating) offer lifting capacities ranging from 3,000 to 12,000 lbs, allowing for easy manipulation and transfer of your metal structures, cable reels, tanks, or precast concrete elements.
Underground Material Handling
Tunnel construction necessitates frequent underground interventions. The high performance of our equipment also meets the demands of this work, in terms of both safety and efficiency:
- Constant load retention and highly precise movements.
- Easy access to the narrowest areas.
- Extended field of vision and workspace securing (purging, drainage, aeration).
- Ability to operate with multiple machines simultaneously in extreme, moisture-saturated environments.
Versatile All-Terrain Systems for Tunnel Professionals
With an extensive array of compatible and easily interchangeable attachments, GEHL material handling machinery stands out for its remarkable adaptability. Articulated platforms, bolt positioning systems for securing vaults, buckets for loading and leveling, forks for handling imposing loads—the possibilities are innumerable! The adaptability of our machines contributes to reducing your investment expenses and operating costs, all while adhering to all safety standards.
Advantages of GEHL Equipment for Tunnel Construction:
- All-terrain tools capable of managing all stages, from site preparation to assembly, securing, and optimizing handling phases.
- Versatile machines, designed for all types of tunneling interventions (excavation, shoring, creation of galleries, debris processing, assembly of load-bearing structures).
- Material handling vehicles that are easy to maneuver, intuitive to operate, and characterized by their solidity and impact resistance.
