The SL-Series is much different compared to other side-loaders due to its ability to drive in four directions. This multi-directional steering is available with the cab on the right or on the left. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic lift truck can benefit businesses in numerous ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have narrower aisles. It also allows the capability to bulk or block stack by driving forward.
