Raymond Corp. celebrates 500,000th lift truck

The Raymond Corp. (Booth 3647) recognized the manufacture of its 500,000th lift truck—a Model 7300 Reach-Fork truck—in a presentation to long-time customer The Home Depot in a press conference on Monday.

The milestone, said CEO Michael Field, underscores Raymond’s commitment to providing customers with end-to-end solutions that help them run their operations better and manage smarter.

“Our overall focus starts with warehouse design and configuration, assistance in determining the right forklift types throughout a facility, selection of materials handling equipment solutions, a variety of financing choices, and a selection energy storage options, including lithium ion batteries for all of our product offerings,” he said.

On the product side, the company is highlighting three new vehicles in their booth: the Model 8710 for efficient, low-level order picking; the redesigned Model 4750 sit-down counterbalanced truck with enhancements for both ease of maintenance and ergonomics; and the Model 8210 walkie pallet truck, powered by a lithium ion battery, that offers shorter head lengths and longer run times in cold temperatures, Field said.

Modex 2016 is scheduled to be held April 4-7, 2016 in Atlanta’s Georgia World Conference Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete Modex coverage.
