The Raymond Corporation introduced a broad range of best-in-class lithium-ion batteries, which 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,” says Jennifer Lupo, VP 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.”
Key takeaways:
· Powered by lithium iron phosphate, the batteries are easily deployable with a drop-in design for 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; optimize lift truck performance with 24-, 36- and 48-volt options; work more securely with UL 2580 listed batteries, tested and certified for durability and dependability; and integrate with Energy Asset Manager, allowing access to battery performance data from anywhere in a facility.
“We work hand in hand with customers who have advanced energy needs to understand what solutions would be best to help improve productivity and enhance efficiency in their operations,” says Christine Edwards, senior manager of energy product solutions, The Raymond Corporation. “Our teams work with them to understand their data and turn it into actionable insights to move their business forward. It’s not about solving today’s challenges but anticipating tomorrow’s opportunities.”
