As labor shortages and turnover rise, and order picking operations manage seasonal fluctuations, relying on lift truck performance alone isn’t enough.
The state-of-the-art, five-time industry award-winning Raymond® High Capacity Orderpicker sets the standard with industry-first specifications — 456-inch height, 3,000-pound capacity, with the capability of lifting 2,500 pounds to 399 inches, and a 36-volt power system — and goes further with award-winning operator assist technologies that actively reinforce training and provide smart alerts, notifications and lift truck control features.
Designed for today’s workforce, Raymond’s High Capacity Orderpicker gives the operator peace of mind.
With one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of operator assist technologies, Raymond is designing solutions to: increase operator productivity and efficiency; improve security; and reinforce operator training. When layered on solutions like the Raymond High Capacity Orderpicker, these technologies create synergistic efficiencies that help operations stay ahead in a competitive market. Two award-winning solutions in this portfolio are the iWAREHOUSE® ObjectSense Detection & Notification System (iW.ObjectSense) and the iWAREHOUSE Integrated Tether System, which, when applied together, offer unmatched capabilities in reinforcing best practices, particularly in order picker applications.
iW.ObjectSense, an infrastructure-free light detection and ranging (lidar) system, detects objects in a lift truck’s travel path, while Raymond’s Integrated Tether System confirms proper tether connection — both providing alerts, lift truck responses and manager notifications when a detection occurs. Together, these systems reinforce proper operating behaviors and enhance security.
Utilizing the iWAREHOUSE telematics system, warehouse managers can use these technologies to collect, share and easily leverage fleet data, gaining critical insights and improving day-to-day operations.
Together, these tools put operators at the center of secure, efficient warehouse operations. By pairing advanced equipment with intelligent data solutions, Raymond helps facilities create more-resilient teams and stronger distribution networks that are prepared for the demands of today’s supply chain.
