The new RS5-19 Gen:3 and RS9-50 Gen:2 telehandlers are powered by Tier 4 engines and feature standard self-leveling forks, four-plate box section booms, rear axle stabilization and high visibility from inside the cab thanks to a large, open concept frame with a high-mounted boom.

The RS5-19 is powered by a 69-horsepower Yanmar engine and features two-speed forward/reverse hydrostatic drive along with four-wheel drive/four-wheel steer.

New to the RS5-19 is a single joystick control with F-N-R, boom functions, fork tilt and auxiliary line control. Other features include a power port in the cab, single key start and a lockable storage area in the cab.

The RS9-50 Gen:2 is Gehl’s 9,000-pound lift capacity RS telehandler. This machine features a 50-foot, 1-inch max lift height with 5,000 pounds of capacity at 50 feet.
