Advantages of a Diesel Gehl RS6-42 Telehandler

• Diesel power for torque and efficiency: Diesel engines are renowned for producing strong low-end torque, which translates to confident lifting, smoother hydraulic response under load, and dependable tractive effort across varied terrain. You gain practical fuel economy without sacrificing the grunt needed for real-world jobsite demands.
• Gehl engineering and support: Gehl is a recognized brand in the telehandler market, and its RS platform is respected for robust design, intuitive controls, and straightforward service access. That reputation supports parts availability and long-term maintainability, key factors for uptime and total cost of ownership.
• Operator-focused design: Telehandlers succeed when operators are comfortable, confident, and in control. The RS6-42’s layout, visibility considerations, and predictable handling help crews work faster with fewer errors, improving productivity day after day.
• Versatility on mixed jobsites: A telehandler like the RS6-42 bridges lifting and placing tasks that would otherwise require multiple machines or extra labor. From unloading flatbeds to staging pallets at height, its flexible performance simplifies job sequencing and reduces bottlenecks.
• Value-driven acquisition: Buying a used 2014 diesel telehandler at a competitive price point helps you control capital expenditure while securing a machine built for hard use. For many contractors, this balance is the fastest route to positive cash flow on new or ongoing projects.

Applications

Telehandlers are the multipurpose workhorses of modern jobsites, and the Gehl RS6-42 fits a wide range of tasks where safe, precise material placement is essential. Common applications include:

• Framing and roofing: Stage trusses, sheathing, shingles, and accessories where crews need them to minimize climbing and manual handling.
• Masonry and concrete work: Lift block, mortar, and forms; support formwork changes between pours; and streamline repeat material deliveries.
• Industrial maintenance: Handle heavy parts, skids, and tooling around plants or distribution centers, especially where occasional elevated placement is required.
• Site development: Support earthwork teams by moving trench boxes, pipe, and shoring components; transport pallets of erosion control materials and fencing.
• Agriculture and landscaping: Load and unload seed, fertilizer, and stone; position bulk materials; and manage seasonal projects with one versatile machine.
