Compacts Have Joystick Options

Gehl's CT Series adds five compact telehandler models with maximum capacities from 5,000 to 7,000 pounds and lift heights from 16 to 23 feet. The new units expand the product line by nearly 50 percent courtesy of Gehl's alliance with Manitou. The CT5-16, CT5-16 Turbo and CT6-18 Low Profile have two joystick options: "loader configuration" or "pick-and-place."

Number of models: 7

New models: CT5-16, CT5-16 Turbo, CT6-18 Low Profile, CT6-18 Turbo and CT7-23 Turbo

Product-line features: The CT6-18 Low Profile is less than 7 feet tall at the top of the cab, putting a machine capable of raising 6,000 pounds nearly 18 feet high into garages or other low-access spaces.
