To meet the space, personnel and budget challenges that warehouse and distribution centers face today, productivity and efficiency are key decision criteria when choosing material handling equipment.

GREENE, N.Y. — To meet the space, personnel and budget challenges that warehouse and distribution centers face today, productivity and efficiency are key decision criteria when choosing material handling equipment. The new Raymond 7000 Series Reach- Fork® trucks from The Raymond Corporation feature industry-leading, productivity-enhancing lift and lower speeds for performance without compromise.
To further maximize the number of pallets that can be moved per hour, the truck series is optimized for energy efficiency through Raymond® Eco-Performance, which is Raymond’s approach to designing and engineering lift truck solutions for maximum economic and ecological benefits. This includes regenerative lowering, which produces energy when the forks are lowered to increase battery shift life and reduce the need for downtime created by changing and charging batteries.
The Raymond 7000 Series Reach-Fork trucks deliver 9 percent more productivity and 21 percent more energy efficiency than competitive models, based on independent third-party testing conducted by United States Auto Club (USAC).
The Raymond Corporation is a global provider of unmatched material handling technology, expertise and support to increase productivity and cost-efficiency. High performance, reliable Raymond lift trucks range from a full line of manual and electric pallet trucks and walkie stackers to counterbalanced trucks, Reach-Fork trucks, orderpickers and Swing-Reach® trucks. Through its CustomCare™ approach, Raymond and its Solutions and Support Centers deliver a comprehensive package of personalized enterprise solutions — like the iWarehouse® fleet optimization system, in-depth industry knowledge and consulting, flexible financing, OSHA-compliant training, and industry-leading asset protection — to optimize warehouse operations.
