GREENE, N.Y. — The Raymond Corporation, a Chenango County–based provider of intralogistics solutions and material-handling equipment, has recently introduced two new electric lift trucks.
The 4800 model and 4810 model, 80-volt sit-down counterbalanced trucks address the need for sustainable material-handling solutions in outdoor settings and handle capacities ranging from 4,000 to 11,000 pounds, the company says.
“Both of these machines are designed specifically for outdoor applications,” Tim Rice, product manager at Raymond, said in a news release. “This makes them perfect for lumberyards, big-box stores and building material suppliers, as well as for container yards, agricultural or commodity applications — any customer who’s interested in an emissions-free, low-maintenance all-electric lift truck but is unwilling to compromise on performance, indoor/outdoor capability and ease of operation.”
In addition to offering emissions-free performance, the 4800 and 4810 models help owners control operating costs and maximize uptime through features such as low-maintenance wet disc brakes and powerful rechargeable batteries that require no spark plugs, no tuneups and no scheduled oil changes, Raymond Corp. stipulates. The energy-regeneration system, standard on both models, increases run-time by putting energy back into the battery during plugging, coasting, and braking.
“In almost every industry we serve, there’s a growing interest in more sustainable operations,” Rice added. “We’re seeing an increasing number of users making the switch from conventionally powered lift trucks to electric trucks.”
