Company Overview
About Gehl Headquartered in West Bend, Wisconsin, USA
Gehl's story begins in 1859 in West Bend, Wisconsin, where the company was established to manufacture equipment for America's expanding agricultural heartland. Over the following century and a half, that agricultural DNA merged with an expanding construction equipment programme, and today Gehl - operating as part of the Manitou Group - produces a range of compact machines that serve both farm yards and building sites across North America.
The R-series radial-lift skid steer loaders represent Gehl's flagship compact construction offering, characterised by a raised operator cab that provides exceptional sightlines and a machine geometry that delivers high breakout force at ground level - exactly what Canadian contractors need when loading trucks or pushing spoil. The Z-series compact excavators pair naturally with the R-series on mixed earthwork and material-handling projects, allowing a single rental transaction to equip a small crew with complementary digging and loading capabilities.
Gehl's entry into the telehandler segment with the RS rotating series brought the convenience of a boom machine with full 360-degree rotation to Canadian construction customers, eliminating the need to reposition for load placement across large work faces. That flexibility is particularly valued on Canadian agricultural operations during seeding and harvest seasons, where a single machine is expected to handle a wide variety of tasks across large properties.
The Manitou Group's acquisition of Gehl strengthened the brand's engineering resources and global supply chain while preserving the American product identity that Canadian dealers and customers had come to trust. Manitou Canada's distribution network ensures that replacement parts reach Canadian operators promptly, a critical consideration given the short operating seasons in many parts of the country. Gehl's combination of genuine heritage, current engineering, and broad equipment coverage makes it a reliable choice for Canadian rental customers looking for compact performance across multiple machine types.

Why Canada Chooses Gehl
Gehl in the Canadian Construction Market
North American-built equipment has always had a natural home in Canadian construction. Gehl's engineering teams develop machines with the full range of Canadian job site conditions in mind - from coastal British Columbia's wet, clay-heavy soils to the frozen ground of northern Manitoba, the sandy terrain of Southern Ontario aggregate operations, and the remote Arctic sites accessible only by ice road. This continent-native understanding of conditions translates to equipment that simply works in Canada's challenging environments without extensive modification.
The Gehl dealer network across Canada is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, with authorized service centers in every province offering factory-trained technicians, stocked parts depots, and rapid response support. For large contractors running a Gehl-dominant fleet, this infrastructure means predictable maintenance costs, fast parts availability, and confidence that manufacturer support is never far away.
The cold-weather capabilities engineered into Gehl machines - block heaters, battery isolators, cold-grade hydraulic fluids, and heated cab packages - are not optional extras on Canadian worksites; they are standard expectations. Gehl delivers these as baseline features across most of their line-up, reducing the setup time and outfitting costs that come with less climate-conscious competitors.
Renting Gehl equipment through HeavyRentals.ca gives you access to owner-maintained machines from across Canada. Our platform's verified owner network means every Gehl unit listed has been maintained to the standards that protect your production and your crew's safety. Daily, weekly, and monthly rental options give you the flexibility to scale your fleet to project demands - with no long-term capital commitment.

Canadian Job Sites
Where Gehl Equipment Performs Across Canada
Urban Infill & Residential
Tight access, noise restrictions, and proximity to existing structures define urban construction in Canadian cities. Compact equipment excels where larger machines simply cannot operate.
Landscaping & Site Prep
From residential landscaping to commercial site preparation across Canada's suburbs, compact loaders and skid steers are the workhorses of smaller-scale earthmoving.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Municipal utility work - water main replacement, storm drain installation, and road cuts - frequently requires equipment small enough to work in live traffic corridors and tight rights-of-way.
Cold-Weather Readiness
Canada's winters test every piece of machinery. Temperatures in northern and central Canada regularly drop below -30°C, with extreme cold snaps reaching -50°C with windchill in some regions. Gehl equipment is built to start, operate, and maintain full productivity in these conditions - with hydraulic systems, engine cooling, and electrical systems engineered for extreme cold as a standard expectation, not an afterthought. On HeavyRentals.ca, Canadian Gehl owners maintain their machines with winter-grade fluids and cold-climate service packages so you get equipment that performs when temperatures plunge.
Regulatory Compliance
Canada's provincial and federal construction regulations set rigorous standards for equipment safety, emissions, and operator protection. Gehl machines certified for the Canadian market meet Transport Canada, CSA, and provincial WorkSafe regulations out of the factory. This compliance infrastructure gives contractors the confidence to deploy rented equipment on government contracts, municipal projects, and safety-audited job sites without modification or variance requests. When you rent Gehl through HeavyRentals.ca, you're getting market-certified equipment from verified Canadian owners.

Rental Advantage
Why Rent Gehl Instead of Buying?
Zero Depreciation
New heavy equipment depreciates 20-30% in its first year. Renting means you pay only for utilization - no balance sheet liability, no residual value risk on your fleet.
Right Machine Every Job
Different projects need different equipment configurations. Renting from HeavyRentals.ca means you can spec the exact Gehl model for the task - not make do with what you own.
No Maintenance Overhead
When you rent, maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Skip the dealer relationship management, service scheduling, and parts inventory that comes with ownership.
Scale With Your Pipeline
Whether you have one project or twelve running simultaneously, a rental approach scales your fleet instantly - add machines when busy, return them when idle. No fixed costs.
Gehl Rental for Canadian Projects
Canada's project-based construction economy - driven by short paving and building seasons, annual municipal budget cycles, and the boom-bust nature of resource extraction - is structurally well-suited to equipment rental. Contractors who rent their Gehl fleet through HeavyRentals.ca maintain the flexibility to scale operations seasonally without the long-term overhead of ownership.
For smaller contractors, municipalities, and first-time operators, renting also provides access to higher-specification Gehl machines than their capital budget could support through purchase. A tier-one excavator or high-capacity crane that would be unattainable as a purchase becomes an accessible weekly rental for a specific project phase.
Gehl maintains an established Canadian dealer network through Manitou Canada network, ensuring parts and factory support are available in every major market - adding an additional layer of confidence when renting Gehl equipment from verified owners on our platform.
