Product lines
The Gehl product lines, including skid steer loaders, track loaders, articulated loaders, asphalt pavers, compact excavators, and telescopic handlers, are used worldwide in construction and agricultural markets.[3] Gehl was North America's largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery other than tractors, until exiting the agriculture business in 2006.[5] The Gehl Company owns the rights to manufacture Mustang skid steer loaders, and previously distributed Takeuchi Compact Track Loaders under the names Gehl and Mustang.[6]
History
Gehl was founded by Louis Lucas in 1859.[3]
Gehl was acquired in September 2008 for US$30 a share by the French equipment maker Manitou Group.[6] This allowed the company to expand its telehandler market into the US and enter several new equipment markets.[3][7] The company was delisted from NASDAQ under its ticker symbol GEHL.[8]
In 2007, Gehl and the Milwaukee Brewers announced a naming rights deal for a group party club area in Miller Park.[9]
