New products and features:

To highlight its wide range of intelligent warehouse solutions, Raymond will showcase numerous new products and solutions, including:

Automation solutions featuring the Raymond Courier^™ 3030 stacker automated lift truck with Seegrid guided vision technology

This new, versatile Raymond Courier^™ 3030 is a 2,500-pound-capacity automated stacker that combines Seegrid unparalleled guided vision technology with Raymond’s end-to-end warehouse solutions for an answer to the industry need to automate end-of-line and P&D (pick-up and drop-off) applications. Ideal for handling and transporting goods between connected manufacturing and warehouse facilities, the Raymond Courier^™ 3030 stacker automated lift truck helps maximize workforce productivity and drive down labor costs. The reverse motion and auto-engagement functions optimize workflow and increase productivity. The Raymond Courier^™ 3030 stacker automated lift truck has a second-level vertical capability to reach heights up to 72 inches.

Zoning and Positioning

Raymond’s zoning-and-positioning solution provides a fast and simple way to improve consistency, productivity and efficiency, helping minimize pick errors and variability through floor-embedded radio frequency identification reader (RFID) sensors that transmit instructions to a lift truck.

In-Aisle Detection System

Raymond’s In-Aisle Detection System, used in conjunction with wire guidance in very narrow aisles, is designed as a training reinforcement tool to provide notice of the proximity of a truck to certain objects and will decelerate a truck to a complete stop when such objects are detected.

Lithium-ion Battery Technology

Raymond’s single- and double-capacity lithium-ion batteries help customers enhance productivity and push operations to meet higher consumer demands, bringing steady performance throughout the duty cycle.
