At MODEX 2022, Raymond will showcase numerous products and intralogistics solutions surrounding material handling equipment, connected technologies and automation, including:

Education

Raymond’s VR Simulator is an engaging tool that can simplify everything from hiring to teaching to developing employees for enhanced performance and efficiency. The recently updated simulator features a new wireless headset with improved graphics, making training simulations feel more immersive. The new version also has a smaller footprint, allowing for easier transport between training sessions.

Energy Solutions

Through proven research and testing, Raymond Energy Solutions are engineered to specifically meet the rigors of the toughest material handling applications. Raymond Energy Solutions, including lead-free and lithium-ion batteries, are integrated for greater synergies to optimise energy efficiencies, productivity and lift truck performance. Lithium-ion batteries can last longer than traditional lead-acid battery packs, do not require routine maintenance and are completely sealed, providing you with an overall lower cost of ownership.

Material Handling Equipment

Raymond’s lift trucks pair with its technologies, systems and solutions to bring day-to-day warehouse and distribution operations to a new level of performance. Raymond continues to develop and release advanced technology options that can layer onto traditional base truck offerings, providing high operating efficiencies and tools to assist operator productivity and security.

The Raymond 8910 End Rider Pallet Jack with Lithium-ion Battery Technology is suitablel for long hauls and congested work areas; it features a roomy operator compartment for enhanced comfort and security, and intuitive, easy-to-use controls. It offers exceptional manoeuvrability with low-effort electric steering and electronic braking.

The Raymond 8210 Motorised Pallet Jack with thin plate pure lead battery technology: provides good manoeuvrability to navigate tight spaces — congested store aisles, busy docks and pinwheeling in the back of trailers.

The Raymond 5000 Series Order Pickers can be integrated with advanced operator assist technology options; designed to meet the rapid growth and expansion of e-commerce and create integrated systems that can further increase operator proficiency, accuracy and productivity.

Connected Technologies

Raymond continues to develop and release advanced technology options that can be layered onto its traditional base lift truck offerings, providing unparalleled operating efficiencies and tools to assist operator productivity and security.

iWAREHOUSE Fleet and Warehouse Optimization System is a comprehensive suite of management solutions that allows managers to identify inefficiencies through real-time telematics data, ultimately increasing overall efficiency.

iWAREHOUSE Real-Time Location System lets users manage their operation more easily and effectively by monitoring and identifying the movements of lift trucks, personnel and assets in your warehouse for enhanced security, efficiency and productivity.

Raymond 8510 Center Rider Pallet Truck delivers outstanding operator comfort and control with optimum performance for heavy-duty order picking applications and long-distance horizontal transport tasks. The 8510 center rider pallet truck can be paired with additional technologies, including:

Pick2Pallet LED Light System: increases productivity and accuracy by directing an operator on pick placement for increased accuracy and faster fulfillment.

Raymond Advance Operator Assist Technology: enables selectors to request tractor-first lift truck travel by pressing and holding the motive button on the remote control; and navigates and detects objects from pick to pick while the selector remains in optimum picking position, enhancing overall productivity and workflow efficiency.

Automation

Raymond demonstrates the synergy of traditional material handling products with cutting-edge advances in automation technology through an automated, integrated systems solution. Raymond is also showcasing  a variety of automated material handling solutions.
