Gehl is a global company that specializes in manufacturing compact construction equipment. The company was founded in 1859 in West Bend, Wisconsin, United States, by Louis Lucas. Originally, Gehl started as a blacksmith shop, but it gradually shifted its focus to manufacturing agricultural equipment.

Throughout its history, Gehl has been known for producing innovative and reliable machinery for various industries, including agriculture, construction, landscaping, and grounds maintenance. Some of the products Gehl manufactures include skid loaders, compact track loaders, telescopic handlers, compact excavators, and articulated loaders. Gehl has a strong reputation for quality and durability in its equipment. The company focuses on designing machines that are versatile, efficient, and easy to operate, catering to the needs of contractors, farmers, rental companies, and other professionals.

In 2008, Gehl became a subsidiary of Manitou Group, a leading global manufacturer of material handling equipment. This acquisition expanded Gehl’s global reach and provided access to additional resources for research, development, and production. Today, Gehl continues to innovate and provide solutions for its customers, offering a range of compact equipment designed to meet the demands of various industries around the world.
