RAYMOND FORKLIFTS

The History of Raymond Forklifts

One of the most well-known and trustworthy names in the forklift and warehouse industries, Raymond’s origins date back to 1922, when George G. Raymond Sr. started his family-owned business with the invention of one the first hand hydraulic lift trucks. Understanding where the future of the warehouse business was heading, Raymond would later become a name that symbolized innovation in forklifts throughout the 20th century, continuing today with the company’s focus on more sustainable and eco-friendly business practices. Beyond that of forklift trucks, Raymond would contribute to advances in warehouses and stocking methods and materials. Modern-day standards, such as double-faced wooden pallets, narrow-aisle stocking and microprocessor-controlled lift trucks, are all trends and inventions started by Raymond. This spirit of innovation is very much a part of what makes these trucks unique and allows them to perform with optimum efficiency and safety.


Raymond has also embraced the vital trend of designing trucks with the environment in mind. Realizing that the material-handling industry can make an important contribution to the need for sustainable operations and constructions, Raymond has taken a step forward by providing some of the most environmentally conscious services and products. There’s a reason why Raymond continues to be an influential force in the material-handling business: consistent dedication to innovation and improved efficiency.

› Raymond Reach-Fork Trucks

As the inventor of the concept of narrow-aisle stocking, Raymond had to rise to the challenge of designing a mechanism that could access items from high, narrow shelves efficiently and safely; the company’s solution was the Reach-Fork® truck, which was introduced in the 1950s. This was a machine designed to safely handle heavy loads at taller heights.


Today’s Reach-Fork® trucks embody the nearly 70 years of innovation in the forklift industry. Featuring Raymond’s ARC System™, the unit’s battery lasts longer than most other trucks and has to be replaced less frequently.


With a single-axis control system combined with programmable features and an auto-position hold, this series offers safety and ease of control in an unprecedented way. We currently have the following popular models in stock:


• EasiR40TT

• EasiR45TT

• 740DR32TT
