Lithium-ion batteries function within integrated ecosystem of connected technologies that continuously share data to help businesses manage energy efficiently
The Raymond Corporation has announced the expansion of its energy offerings with a broad range of best-in-class lithium-ion batteries. Delivering greater efficiency and superior capacity retention, Raymond’s lithium-ion batteries hold an ingress protection (IP) rating of 69 and offer 17% productivity improvement over lead-acid batteries to meet the needs of virtually every customer and application.
“This launch underscores Raymond’s unmatched understanding of its own trucks, developed through years of testing and continuous learning, which allows us to engineer energy systems around the peak energy requirements demanded by each model,” said Jennifer Lupo, vice president of technology solutions, Toyota Material Handling North America (TMHNA), which includes The Raymond Corporation. “By integrating with Raymond’s asset and data tracking systems, Raymond’s lithium-ion batteries give customers real-time insights to proactively manage energy consumption, help reduce downtime and meet sustainability goals.”
The ecosystem of truck, battery and charger is critical for active truck control — not only purpose-built but also right-sized for the specific application. Beyond truck energy requirements, harmonized components create a more intelligent, efficient and responsive environment that enhances overall operational performance.
This product expansion reflects the continued innovation across TMHNA, which operationally unites and supports the strengths of both Raymond® and Toyota® brands to deliver integrated energy solutions.
Powered by lithium iron phosphate, the batteries are easily deployable with a drop-in design for your Raymond fleet and compatible with high-frequency lithium-ion battery chargers from Energy Essentials Distributed by Raymond®batteries. The batteries also:
- Enhance productivity with long run-times, fast charging and convenient opportunity charging.
- Reduce energy and operating costs with more energy-efficient solutions and less need for spare batteries or lift trucks.
- Minimize maintenance costs with a completely sealed design that eliminates the need for watering, equalizing and cleaning.
- Run multiple shifts in captive cold applications with a robust solution with internal thermal management that provides long-lasting, durable performance.
- Operate more sustainably and responsibly with cleaner, greener technologies.
- Optimize lift truck performance with 24-, 36-, and 48-volt options.
- Work more securely and confidently with UL®2580-listed batteries, tested and certified for durability and dependability.
- Integrate with Energy Asset Manager, allowing access to battery performance data from anywhere in a facility and enabling proactive energy management to reduce downtime.
