WEST BEND, WI - Gehl Company offers the model 5240E Skid Loader and a new, more compact chassis on the model 4640E Skid Loader. While the 5240E boasts lift heights up to 122 inches (with optional 12.00 tires), the 4640E excels on small, cramped jobsites with its new, compact chassis. Both models feature a 62-hp Tier III turbo-diesel engine and smooth operating hydraulics.

High lift heights on the new 5240E Skid Loader enhance productivity on the job site. This new model can lift up to120 inches with the standard 10.00 tires, and 122 inches with the optional 12.00 tires.

The redesigned 4640E and the new 5240E have overall machine widths of only 59.7 inches (without bucket) utilizing the new offset-tire option. This narrow width can allow operation on five-foot sidewalks and access through narrow doors and gates. Even though these machines may be more compact, they still provide all the power and performance necessary to complete assigned tasks.

The new 5240E and the redesigned 4640E are powered by a muscular 4-cylinder, 62-horsepower Deutz TD2009 Series turbo-diesel engine. This engine is Tier III-certified to meet current U.S. EPA emissions standards. The water-cooled design offers smooth, quiet operation.

A new high-capacity combination radiator and oil cooler on the 5240E and 4640E Skid Loaders provide for optimum cooling. The re-designed rear door is larger, to accommodate the high-capacity radiator and oil cooler. In addition, a remote engine oil filter is standard on both models for ease of service.
