PERFORMANCE
WITHOUT
COMPROMISE
At Raymond, moving more pallets doesn’t have to mean more battery
changes. Our trucks move pallets in less time using less energy — as much
as 9% less time and as much as 21%* less energy. It’s a result of optimizing
the power system and making smarter choices for materials.

We call this combination of efficiency and productivity Eco-Performance,

and you can put it to work for you in two ways: you can move more pallets
on a single battery charge, which means less frequent work disruptions
and higher overall productivity or, you can use the same energy efficiency
to increase warehouse storage capacity by choosing a truck designed for a
smaller battery, reducing the aisle width requirement.

*Elevating Green, Lowering Costs white paper is available on www.raymondcorp.com. In independent third-party testing monitored by the United States Auto Club
Properties, Inc. (USAC), five Raymond lift truck models performed identical load-handling tasks to compare energy consumption and productivity versus comparable
competitor trucks. Raymond lift trucks were found to move more pallets faster, while also using less energy.
 PUTTING
PRODUCTIVITY FIRST
Productivity is often the result of faster point-to-point travel
and driven by the whole cycle; a combination of factors
including acceleration, deceleration, time spent lifting and
traveling, and battery consumption.

The 7000 Series Reach-Fork trucks are designed with

industry-leading lift, lower, acceleration and travel speeds
– maximizing the number of pallets moved per hour. Our
trucks travel 8.0 mph in any direction; and faster than our
competitors when loaded.

ACCELERATION
TIMES
With average pick distances ranging from
20 to 50 feet, productivity is driven by
acceleration. Raymond’s faster acceleration
gets your operators from pick to pick more
quickly for industry-leading productivity.

A typical warehouse can have up to 200

intersections which require deceleration
and acceleration at each intersection.

A typical Reach truck application is:

+ 75% travel

+ 25% lift

+ 2-3 mph average speed

 LOAD STABILITY

When backing away from the rack with the mast

VISIBILITY
IN EVERY
DIRECTION
One of the most critical factors for better
control and precise load handling is
visibility. Our patented open view mast
design allows operators to see both forks
on either side of the truck no matter
where they are positioned. This superior
visibility at all areas of operation reduces
product and facility damage, increases
operator comfort and confidence – and

ultimately – your bottom line.
 SUPERIOR
VISIBILITY
Visibility is dynamic in a busy warehouse;
especially where trucks are passing one
another in aisles or exiting an aisle into an
intersecting aisle.
Raymond’s Universal Stance provides the
operator the opportunity to find the best
line of sight based on the application and
task at hand. The operator has flexibility
to match the application by facing forward
with an open view when handling and
storing pallets, as well as face the direction
of travel when moving tractor-first.

 DESIGNED FOR
MORE UPTIME
With increasing demands on operations, warehouse
managers work lift trucks longer and harder to stay ahead
– so there’s no time for downtime. To maximize cost
effectiveness, Raymond Reach-Fork trucks are designed
to lower your total cost of ownership by fully applying
the principles and practices of the Toyota Production
System (TPS). Our commitment to quality delivers
longer component life, longer scheduled maintenance
intervals, and easier service access and diagnostics.
All of which keep your trucks on the floor and working
longer, harder, and even smarter.
