Gehl's compact wheel loaders with horsepower ratings less than 65 net include the Advantage AL20DX, AWS 280, AWS 480 and AWS 480T. The AL20DX is an articulated, 20-hp model, and the AWS models feature a rigid, one-piece chassis with all-wheel steering.

Number of models: 4

New models: 280, 480, 480T

Product-line features: All-wheel steering, says Gehl, contributes to extremely tight turning circles and enhanced maneuverability, exacts no loss of lift capacity when turning the machine, and works with the non-articulating frame "to improve safety, stability and performance."
