Drexel SL80AC Forklift
Details
The Drexel SL80AC Forklift combines an 8,000 lb lifting capacity with SwingMast® technology that allows operators to work in aisles as narrow as 66 inches. Designed to maximize storage density and operational efficiency, it delivers the versatility to handle demanding warehouse applications while achieving lift heights up to 281 inches.
As a 4-wheel SwingMast® VNA and side-loading forklift, the SL80AC features a 90-degree rotating mast and 30-inch side shift that simplify load handling in very narrow aisles. Its ability to function as a counterbalance forklift, reach truck, and side loader allows operators to handle palletized and long loads in the same equipment, reducing aisle requirements by more than 40% compared to conventional forklifts. The SL80AC also operates indoors and outdoors on paved surfaces, making it a versatile solution for bulk storage, cantilever racking, push-back racking, double-deep storage, and other demanding material handling applications.
Exceptional Performance and Maneuverability
The Drexel SL80AC delivers fast lift and lower speeds, responsive travel performance, and a tight turning radius that help operators move loads efficiently in busy warehouse environments. Its combination of maneuverability and productivity makes it well suited for high-throughput operations where maximizing storage space and material flow are critical. To support demanding multi-shift applications, the SL80AC offers an optional roll-out battery compartment for quick battery changes and reduced downtime. High-visibility three- and four-stage mast options provide excellent sightlines and accommodate facilities with high lift requirements or overhead restrictions, while standard wire guidance enables safe, full-speed travel in the narrowest aisles.
Maximizes Material Handling Productivity
The Drexel SL80AC helps warehouses replace conventional reach trucks and counterbalance forklifts with a single versatile solution for pallet handling and long-load applications. Its unique SwingMast® design allows operators to work efficiently in very narrow aisles while maintaining the flexibility to perform both indoor and outdoor material handling tasks, helping facilities maximize storage capacity without sacrificing productivity. An offset operator compartment creates a spacious side-loading deck for handling long and bulky loads, while large-diameter tires and an articulated rear steer axle provide excellent ground clearance, smooth travel, and confident operation over uneven floor conditions. This combination of maneuverability, versatility, and operator comfort makes the SL80AC an efficient alternative to multiple traditional lift truck types.
