Gehl Company has announced the addition of the new model RS10-55 and model RS12-42 telescopic handlers to its RS Series line-up. According to the company, the RS10-55 telescopic handler has a rated lift capacity of 10,000 pounds and a maximum lift height of 55 feet. The RS12-42 boasts a rated lift capacity of 12,000 pounds and a maximum lift height of 42 feet.
The booms of the new telescopic handlers have a welded box-section design, which means they are stronger than the booms in comparable competitive models, according to Gehl. Maximum operating capacity is achieved with standard outriggers on the RS10-55, and without the use of outriggers on the RS12-42. Outriggers are optional on the RS12-42 for added stability.
