SL60 / SL80 Forklift

The Drexel SL60SE and SL80SE forklifts are high-capacity SwingMast® models that work in aisles as narrow as 66″ (1.67M)*, have a starting capacity of 6,000 lbs (2722kg) or 8,000 lbs (3629kg) at 24″ (600mm) load center and lift heights available to 289” (7.34M).

They are 4-Wheel SwingMast® VNA and Side-Loading forklifts with independently driven front wheels and dual rear steer tires. The front mast rotates 90°, has side shift of 30” (762mm), allows easy stacking in Very Narrow Aisles. The Drexel SL60SE and SL80SE can work inside and outside on paved surfaces and can perform the jobs of high-capacity front loading and side-loading forklifts including working in bulk storage, cantilever rack, push-back rack, double deep and climbing steep ramps. The SL range does the same jobs of reach and counterbalanced trucks in aisles over 40% smaller. The ability to store and transport heavy long loads as a side loader increases versatility and maximizes utilization.

* Based on 48” (1200mm) long x 40” (1000mm) wide load.

The SL60SE and SL80SE’s fast lift/lower and travel speeds with a tight turning radius provide excellent maneuverability and productivity. The optional roll-out battery compartment allows fast battery changes for multi-shift operations. High Visibility three and four-stage masts are available for a wide range of applications including those with low overhead obstructions requiring high lift heights. Wire Guidance is a standard option on this model allowing safe, full-speed travel in the narrowest aisles.

The versatile SL60SE and SL80SE forklifts replace conventional reach and counterbalanced fork trucks in standard warehouse pallet-handling operations. The unique design allows operators to use it as a counterbalance truck indoors or out, operates in very narrow aisles in the warehouse, and replace reach and counterbalanced trucks that require much wider aisles. The operator’s compartment is offset providing a wide, long load-carrying side deck to be used as side loaders. The front tires are 20″ (508mm) diameter and the rear/steer tires are 16.25” (413mm) dia. providing great under clearance for avoiding floor obstructions. The rear steer axle is articulated to provide a smooth ride over rough floor conditions.
