Advantages

• Deutz diesel power: Known for durability and fuel efficiency, the Deutz diesel provides consistent torque for lifting and maneuvering under load. It’s a trusted powerplant across construction fleets for its reliability and straightforward serviceability.
• 4WD traction: Four-wheel drive keeps you productive on rough or uneven terrain, wet ground, and unprepared surfaces, letting you move materials where they are needed without waiting on perfect site conditions.
• Foam filled tires: Foam filling significantly reduces the risk of flats and sidewall damage, cutting unplanned downtime and service calls. That means more time lifting and less time dealing with tire issues.
• 50" carriage: The wider carriage supports stable load handling and better fork positioning. It enhances load control with bulkier materials and improves compatibility with a range of palletized and bundled goods.
• 48" pallet forks: The included forks are a jobsite staple, ideal for common construction materials, pallets, and job boxes. They’re ready for immediate use across multiple trades without requiring an accessory purchase.
• 6000-class capacity: Built to handle substantial palletized loads, the RS6-34 suits common construction and industrial materials, from block and brick to lumber, roofing bundles, and mechanical equipment.
• 34-class reach: Useful vertical and forward reach let you stage materials at height, feed crews on scaffolds, and place loads where they’ll be used—reducing manual handling and improving productivity.
• Gehl build quality: Gehl telehandlers are recognized for rugged frames, straightforward controls, and dependable hydraulics, giving operators the confidence to work efficiently day after day.

Applications

• General construction: Move and position pallets of tools and materials across the site, feed trades, and keep workflows moving without waiting on cranes or lifts.
• Masonry and concrete: Stage block, forms, sand, and mixes where crews need them, improving pace and reducing manual handling.
• Roofing and framing: Lift trusses, sheathing, and roofing bundles to staging areas, supporting safe, efficient placement at height.
• Exterior finishing: Deliver siding, windows, and façade materials to upper levels, helping installers stay productive.
• Industrial maintenance: Support plant turnarounds and facility upgrades by moving skids, equipment, and maintenance supplies across mixed-terrain yards.
• Lumber and building supply yards: Load and unload trucks, stack inventory, and maintain yard organization with dependable 4WD handling.

Ownership Value

With a price of $44,500.00 and 2,778 hours on a 2017 build, this Gehl RS6-34 offers a compelling total cost of ownership for buyers who prioritize dependable capability without the premium of new equipment.
