This CSA‑certified 1998 Raymond SL60TN is a professionally reconditioned electric sideloader engineered for long‑load handling in steel service centers, lumber yards, extrusion facilities, and cantilever racking systems. With a 6,000 lb capacity, 154” lift height, and a 30” deck, it delivers exceptional stability and maneuverability in narrow aisles where conventional forklifts cannot operate.

The 36V electric powertrain provides quiet, low‑maintenance performance suitable for indoor, propane‑restricted environments. The adjustable fork carriage (9”–39” spread) and auxiliary carriage support long‑load staging, pipe handling, and bar‑stock operations. Freezer‑prep packages are available when paired with the appropriate battery and accessory upgrades.

Battery and charger are sold separately, with matched 36V industrial options available.
