Skid-steer loaders

WEST BEND, WISCONSIN – (January 7, 2014) In 1973, Gehl Company (today Manitou Americas, Inc.), a leading manufacturer of compact earthmoving and material handling equipment, began designing and manufacturing its own line of skid loaders. Four decades later, a complete line of seven radial and three vertical lift models, including the V400, the world’s largest skid loader, are offered under the Gehl brand name. To celebrate 40 years in the skid loader industry, Manitou Americas, Inc. presents a sweepstakes for one custom-painted Gehl R190 skid loader. The skid loader is painted in maize (yellow) and blaze (red), the same color scheme as the first line of Gehl skid loaders in 1973.

The Gehl throwback R190 skid loader and sweepstakes is a celebration of our forty years in the skid loader business,” said Lori Heidecker, Manitou Americas Marketing Director. “With an industry full of newcomers, we stand proud of our four decades of design, manufacture and customer satisfaction.”
