only way to maximize your storage capacity and your profits
is to go higher and narrower. Which is exactly why we engineer all
of our Swing-Reach trucks to reach up to a full 45' high, maneuver
through aisles only 66" narrow, and move loads up to 3000 lbs.
The result for you is immediate: increase pallet capacity up to
3-times — all within the same warehouse footprint.

Storage Per 10,000 Square Feet Of Warehouse Space

Conventional Truck 1,080 pallets

Pallet Handling And Case Picking

Capability In One Truck
A variety of driving positions encourages movement within the
operator’s compartment. Whether you are storing pallet loads,
picking cases or transporting loads, you can choose the best
position for the task to enhance productivity and comfort.

To improve case picking functionality, Raymond enables you to raise

the sidegates and control arms to create a generous case-picking
window for even greater versatility.

energy consumption are second to none. Guided by the unyielding materials handling principle of doing
everything better, smarter and faster, we are uniquely committed
to our customers’ success, and prove it every day with the dynamic
strides we continue to make.

The Raymond Difference:

Comprehensive Energy Savings
Raymond’s proven ACR System™ with Regenerative Lowering
comes standard on all of our Swing-Reach trucks. It immediately
enables our customers to save energy, reduce battery changing
and charging needs, increase overall uptime, and lower maintenance
costs. So you can move more product faster.

When you use our Swing-Reach truck, the advantages are clear:

48% longer run time per battery charge over competitive units

20% increase in run time per battery charge over Raymond’s

DC motor system

11% extension of the battery cycle because our regenerative

lowering returns amps directly back to the battery

More operator control of the lift and lowering speed

Our truck also gives you all the advantages of Raymond’s exclusive
ACR System — a combination of AC technology and ergonomics
that delivers “just charged” performance and reliability.

The ACR System provides ease of maintenance with fewer

component parts to service and replace, with the overall result
less downtime, greater cost savings, higher utilization rates and
better reliability to improve your bottom line.

Increased Efficiencies And Maneuverability

The Raymond Swing-Reach truck provides smooth hydraulics
controls that enable precise load handling for less product
damage and increased productivity in very narrow aisles.
Fine positioning and control of the lift travel and load handling
also provides better control of the load making the operator
more efficient.

To accommodate operator skill levels and other variables, the

Swing-Reach is fully programmable so you can custom-configure
travel speeds and acceleration / deceleration rates for the
travel, lift, lower and load handler. And when it comes to
acceleration and speeds, Raymond’s intellispeed ™ control
system provides smooth coordination between travel speeds
based on load height and weight. Our exclusive ACR System
maximizes productivity with quicker acceleration, faster lift
and lower speeds, smoother direction changes for better more
efficient load handling.

Advanced Operator Productivity

Our ergonomically engineered wrap-around operator
compartment offers panoramic views of racks, loads and aisles.
With a fully adjustable ergonomically-contoured seat, armrest
and lumbar support, our control center adapts to each operator’s
preferences, adding comfort throughout the shift.
