Whats new in 2026
Standard 2026 Upgrades:
New Heavy-Duty Gate Holdbacks
Standard across the 2026 SL Series, our redesigned gate holdback system is engineered for longevity. It features a new HSS spring enclosure to protect the mechanism from debris and galvanized steel strike plates to prevent rust and ensure a secure lock every time you open the barn doors.
Extended 8" Sideboards
Payload capacity and containment are key. Models including the SL610, SL612, and SL714 now come standard with taller 8-inch sideboards. These integrated boards provide extra depth for hauling bulk material while maintaining a clean, low-profile look with our updated sideboard gussets.
Redesigned A-Frames & Steps
We’ve shortened the A-frame on the SL610 and SL612 models by approximately 8 inches, significantly improving maneuverability in tight residential spaces. Additionally, the 2026 models feature a redesigned rear step with integrated light holes and a bolt-on galvanized front step for safer access.
Precision Hardware Upgrades
Small details make a big difference for professional contractors. The 2026 lineup features all-new tarp hooks for easier load covering and a redesigned spreader latch system on the standard gates, ensuring smooth operation when switching between spreading and dumping.
SL714 Series: Upgraded Power
The 2026 SL714-14K and 14KHS models received a massive boost in lifting power, upgrading from a 5" scissor hoist to a heavy-duty 6" scissor hoist. We’ve also moved the D-rings to the corners of the box to maximize floor space and upgraded rear door panels to 2" thickness for added strength.
Experience the 2026 Lineup
From the return of the versatile SL610-10K to the revamped SL714-16KHS, the 2026 Southland lineup is built to work as hard as you do. Ready to see these upgrades in person? Contact your local dealer to check current inventory and availability.
