Gehl's new E-Series features six models of skid-steer loaders ranging from a rated operating load of 1,050 pounds (3,640 without counterweights) to 2,900 pounds (6,640 with counterweights). The models — 3640E, 4240E, 4640E, 4840E, 5640E and 6640E — are built with innovative acoustical materials and specially designed engine compartment components to lower sound levels, both inside and out. The large operator compartments have abundant head, shoulder and leg room for greater operator comfort.

Gehl offers a 2-speed drive option with top speeds of more than 11 mph on the 4640E and 4840E and up to 12.5 mph on the 5640E and the 6640E skid loaders. An extended wheelbase of more than 48 inches on the Model 6640E and lower center of gravity, combined with the optional Hydraglide ride control system deliver a smoother, more stable ride.

Gehl offers multiple control systems for operation but believes that its hands-only T-Bar control system allows operators to easily acclimate to operating the machines, according to Kelly Moore, product manager for Gehl skid loaders.

The E-Series offers easy access for routine service. The engine cover has a gas-spring assist for easy lifting, while the ROPS/FOPS cab structure is easily pivoted up and out of the way by a single person. Removable belly plates also enhance serviceability.

“The E-Series loader is the ideal machine for operators who need high power but also need a compact unit for getting in and out of tight spots in construction, landscape or agriculture applications,” says Moore.
