SL40AC / SL50AC Drexel Forklift

The Drexel SL40AC and SL50AC forklifts work in aisles as narrow as 60″ (1.52M)*, have a starting capacity of 3,000 lbs (1361kg), 4,000 lbs (1814kg) or 5,000 lbs (2268kg) at 24″ (600mm) load center and lift heights available to 31′ (9.5M).

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° and has side shift of 22” (559mm), allowing easy stacking in Very Narrow Aisles. The Drexel SL40AC and SL50AC can work inside and outside on paved surfaces. They can perform the jobs of a normal front-loading and side-loading forklifts including loading and unloading highway trucks and containers, working in bulk storage, drive-in rack, 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 50% smaller. The ability to store and transport long loads as a side loader increases versatility and maximizes utilization.

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