The Drexel SLT30AC and SLT35AC SwingMast® forklifts are three-wheel electric VNA forklifts designed for material handling in very narrow aisles. The SLT30AC offers a 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) capacity, while the SLT35AC offers 3,500 lb (1,588 kg), both at a 24-inch (600 mm) load center.
The SwingMast® design combines a 90° pivoting and shifting mast, rear-wheel drive and steering, a 48-volt electrical system and high-visibility 3-stage or 4-stage mast configurations. The forklifts can operate in aisles as narrow as 56 inches (1.42 m).
Abdullah Hashim Company Limited (AHCL) Auto & Equipment Division provides Landoll Drexel material-handling equipment with sales, after-sales service and original manufacturer spare-parts support through its Saudi Arabia network.
This is an electric VNA forklift designed for operations requiring high maneuverability and efficient use of warehouse space. The 3-wheel configuration uses rear-wheel drive and steering, while the front mast can pivot 90° and shift 20 inches (508 mm). This allows the forklift to position loads in very narrow aisles while maintaining the ability to perform conventional front-loading forklift operations.
The SLT30AC and SLT35AC can work in aisles as narrow as 56 inches (1.42 m) based on a 48-inch (1,200 mm) long × 40-inch (1,000 mm) wide load. Lift heights are available up to 26 feet (7.92 m).
The forklifts are designed for both indoor and outdoor operation on paved surfaces. The applications includes loading and unloading highway trucks and containers, bulk storage, drive-in rack, push-back rack and double-deep storage, as well as operation on steep ramps.
SwingMast® Design
The 90° pivoting and shifting mast is the defining feature of the SLT30AC/SLT35AC. The mast provides 20 inches (508 mm) of mast shift and allows the forklift to place loads to either side while operating within very narrow aisles.
Maneuverability
The rear-wheel steering and drive configuration, combined with a 67-inch (1,702 mm) turning radius, provides maneuverability in short cross-aisles. The three-wheel design and single rear drive/steer wheel are intended for operation in VNA warehouse environments.
Battery & Electric Drive
Both models use a 48-volt battery-electric power system with AC traction and hydraulic controls. The rollout battery compartment allows faster battery changes for multi-shift operations, while the large-capacity battery compartment supports the electric drivetrain.
