Gehl, West Bend, Wis., has introduced its model V330 Skid Loader with more than 131 inches of near-vertical lift height. With an 84-horsepower turbo-diesel engine and a rated operating capacity of 3,300 pounds, the V330 Skid Loader is among the strongest in its class, according to the company.
“This loader provides the exceptional lift height and performance customers demand from a machine this size,” remarks Kelly Moore, product manager for Gehl Skid Loaders.
The V330 Skid Loader achieves near-vertical lift with a lift arm design that provides extended reach and lift height for easy truck and material loading, the company says. The lift arm design provides optimal views to the sides of the loader and a direct line-of-sight to the bucket cutting edge. Thick steel plating braces the lift arm, providing additional strength and durability.
The new V330 Skid Loader features a Yanmar turbocharged diesel engine. Equipped with electronic engine control and a foot throttle, the V330 can be operated at partial throttle as the workload allows for lower sound levels and reduced fuel consumption.
The optional, pressurized sealed cab enclosure provides a cleaner, quieter operating environment, according to Gehl. There is a fully adjustable joystick controls and an optional air-ride seat.
Extra-large side screens and an optional wide-view front glass door provide visibility to the bucket cutting edge and front work area. The new side-folding restraint bar and armrests feature multiple adjustments to enhance operator comfort and safety.
The adjustable proportional auxiliary hydraulic control gives the operator the ability to adjust attachment speeds for optimum performance and efficiency. The system allows the operator to set the system for continuous flow. A 36.3-gpm high-flow auxiliary hydraulics option is designed to handle high-performance attachments. The Hydraglide Ride Control System is featured as standard equipment.
