Electric Sideloader Forklifts – Bi‑Directional Long Load Handlers

Electric sideloader forklifts are engineered for long‑load handling in narrow warehouse aisles, allowing operators to move steel, lumber, pipe, panels, and extrusions with maximum stability and visibility. Their bi‑directional travel and side‑carry design reduce aisle width requirements and dramatically improve safety when transporting oversized materials indoors. Every unit is CSA/MOL certified, professionally reconditioned, and supported by Premier Lift’s full lifecycle ecosystem.
