The Gehl AWS480 is a compact wheel loader engineered for versatile material handling in construction, landscaping, and agricultural applications. Powered by a 4-cylinder F4M 2011 engine producing 59 gross horsepower at 2400 rpm, this machine delivers responsive performance in confined spaces. The loader features a 1.9 cubic yard bucket capacity with a breakout force of 7,868 lbs, enabling efficient loading and material manipulation. Its hydraulic system utilizes a gear pump with 17.5 gallons-per-minute flow capacity and a 3,046 psi relief valve setting, providing reliable power transmission for all operational functions. Weighing 9,921 lbs at operating capacity, the AWS480 maintains excellent maneuverability with a compact footprint measuring 16.7 feet in length, 5.6 feet in width, and 8.3 feet in height to the cab top. The machine achieves a maximum forward speed of 12.4 mph with an 18-degree rear axle oscillation for improved traction on uneven terrain. Dimensions include a 6.3-foot wheelbase and 1.1-foot ground clearance, while the hinge pin reaches a maximum height of 10.7 feet. The hydraulic dump clearance at maximum raise extends to 8.3 feet, and the loader maintains an 11.4-foot turning radius for tight maneuvering. With an 18.5-gallon hydraulic fluid capacity and 21.2-gallon fuel tank, the AWS480 operates on a 12-volt electrical system with 95-amp alternator capacity. This configuration makes it ideal for operators requiring reliable, efficient material handling in space-constrained environments.
