Introducing the All-New GEHL TH6-34 Telehandler: More Reach, More Control, Built for the Jobsite

GEHL announces its newest 6,000-pound telehandler, featuring a 34-foot lift height, improved hydraulic control, four steering modes, and a 74 HP diesel engine without DEF or DPF requirements.

Construction professionals, masonry contractors, and equipment rental operators have a new option for lifting and material handling. GEHL has introduced the TH6-34 telescopic handler, a new-generation machine designed to deliver the reach, lifting power, maneuverability, and reliability demanded on today's jobsites.

Replacing the GEHL RS6-34 GEN:3, the new TH6-34 combines proven lifting capabilities with updated technology and features intended to improve productivity while helping reduce equipment operating costs.

At K&M Equipment Group in Culpeper and Mineral, Virginia, we're excited to introduce this addition to the GEHL construction equipment lineup.

6,000 Pounds of Lifting Power and Over 34 Feet of Reach

The GEHL TH6-34 is designed for contractors who need to lift heavy materials and position them accurately at elevated working heights.

Key GEHL TH6-34 Specifications:

• Maximum lift capacity: 6,000 lbs.
• Maximum lift height: 34 ft. 3 in.
• Lift capacity at maximum height: 4,000 lbs.
• Engine: 74 HP Deutz 3.6L diesel
• Emissions: Tier IV Final, without DEF or DPF systems
• Steering: Four selectable steering modes
• Manufacturing: Yankton, South Dakota

With 34 feet of vertical reach and substantial lifting capability, the TH6-34 is well suited for placing building materials, supporting framing operations, and handling palletized loads on construction sites.

Actual lifting capacities depend on boom position, attachment configuration, and the manufacturer's load chart.

Four Steering Modes for Greater Jobsite Flexibility

One notable update to the TH6-34 is its four-mode steering system.

Operators can select:

1. Front-wheel steering: For conventional travel and positioning.
2. Four-wheel steering: For improved maneuverability in confined spaces.
3. Crab steering: For diagonal movement when approaching loads or navigating obstacles.
4. Mani-crab steering: An additional steering mode designed to provide greater positioning flexibility.

These steering options are particularly useful when working around buildings, material storage areas, staging zones, and other congested construction environments.

A new tire alignment system also supports steering setup and operation.

Improved Hydraulic Control for Precise Load Placement

Accurate placement matters when lifting materials several stories above ground level.

The GEHL TH6-34 incorporates a piston pump and flow-sharing valves designed to improve boom movement and load placement control.

For contractors handling masonry supplies, lumber, roofing materials, and other building products, improved hydraulic control can support smoother operation and more precise positioning.

A 74 HP Deutz Engine Without DEF or DPF

The TH6-34 is powered by a 74-horsepower Deutz 3.6-liter diesel engine meeting Tier IV Final emissions requirements.

One of its most practical features is the absence of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems.

For owners and fleet managers, this eliminates DEF refilling and DPF regeneration, simplifying some routine responsibilities associated with modern diesel equipment.

This can be especially valuable for rental companies, contractors operating multiple machines, and businesses trying to minimize avoidable downtime.

Designed for Easier Maintenance and Lower Operating Costs

Machine downtime costs money, especially on active construction projects.

GEHL designed the TH6-34 with an engine layout and service access intended to make routine maintenance easier and quicker.

Additional features include:

• Electrical system disconnect
• Improved service-point accessibility
• Updated boom and hydraulic control
• New tire alignment system
• Optional automatic Start & Stop functionality

The optional Start & Stop system is designed to reduce unnecessary idling, fuel consumption, and accumulated engine hours.

For equipment owners evaluating long-term costs, these improvements make the TH6-34 worth considering.

Built for Construction, Masonry, and Rental Operations

The GEHL TH6-34 targets construction and rental markets.

Residential Construction: Lift and position framing materials, lumber, and other supplies at elevated work areas.

Masonry Contractors: Move palletized block, brick, and other heavy materials around active construction sites.

Commercial Construction: Support material handling and placement where reach and maneuverability are essential.

Equipment Rental Fleets: Offer customers a versatile telescopic handler with simplified emissions maintenance and multiple steering modes.

The combination of reach, lifting capacity, and maneuverability makes the TH6-34 a practical option for businesses that need more than a conventional forklift.

Made in America: Built in Yankton, South Dakota

The GEHL TH6-34 is manufactured in Yankton, South Dakota, continuing the brand's North American equipment manufacturing presence.

GEHL has announced that production is scheduled to begin November 2, 2026, with initial shipments expected beginning November 20, 2026.

The TH6-34 is now available to order through dealers.
