 The Gehl CT6-18 telehandler at the Koepke family's home. |
Two Gehl telehandlers and a skid loader will have starring roles in an award-winning home improvement TV show to air in the US next month.
Gehl Company, a US manufacturer of compact construction and agricultural equipment, donated use of a Gehl RS8-44 telehandler, a Gehl CT6-18 telehandler and a Gehl 78 10E skid loader to ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to help build a new home for the Koepke family, of Dundee, Wisconsin.
The Emmy award-winning show is expected to air on Sunday, November 19, at 7pm central US time.
About 1,200 volunteers and 1,500 subcontractors helped design and build the Koepke family's new home in 100 hours.
Produced by Endemol USA, the show features a "race against time on a project ordinarily taking at least four months to achieve". The Extreme Makeover team takes seven days to rebuild a house for a lucky family.
