Raymond® 8000 Series Pallet Trucks
From top to bottom, the 8000 Series is designed for unmatched durability. You can count on these reliable workhorses to handle the most demanding applications.
The 8000 Series features Raymond's exclusive ACR System with reliable AC power for 24/7 performance. It gives operators quicker acceleration and smoother direction changes to move more product faster. You’ll also get superior energy efficiency and cost savings compared to DC-powered trucks. You can increase work done per battery charge, lower maintenance costs, and improve productivity.
With superior energy efficiency, fewer battery changes, faster acceleration and smoother handling, the 8000 Series with ACR System makes your operation more productive.
SAFETY
- * Steel bulkhead wrapper adds strength and protects vital system components.
* Ergonomic control handle and the grab rail are angled at 12 degrees – perfectly placed for the natural position of the hand. Controls on other brands’ trucks are straight across, causing an uncomfortable flex in the wrist.
* Dual lift cylinders provide a four-point lift system for better loading stability, eliminating horizontal loading of lift cylinders.
PRODUCTIVITY
- * AC motors deliver more runtime per battery charge. Unlike DC-powered trucks that lose performance as batteries discharge, Raymond AC-powered trucks maintain a high level of performance throughout the battery cycle.
* 10% higher operating efficiency than DC motors.
* The 8000 Series trucks equipped with the ACR System use fewer amps per cycle, so you’ll save on batteries, chargers and downtime. And this superior energy efficiency means batteries last longer. That’s especially important in cold storage applications.
* AC technology maximizes efficiency by providing quicker acceleration and smoother direction changes than DC systems.
* Unlike DC motors that have a time delay when changing speed or direction, AC motors respond instantly to operator control inputs for acceleration, stops and direction changes. Operators get up to top speed faster, which saves time resulting in more uptime and higher productivity.
PERFORMANCE
- * Steel gussets protect critical components.
* Solid steel reinforcements guard against impact.
* Strong aluminum cover protects the control handle and critical electronic components.
* Large, powerful AC drive motor sized and tested to deliver long, dependable life with the low operating cost benefits of AC power.
* Heavy-duty pins and bushings plus strong trail fork castings can handle the heaviest loads, shift after shift.
* Solid steel 2-inch diameter pull rods – stronger than push rods – provide added strength for the entire length of the forks. No areas are weakened by threaded rods.
* 50% bigger internal fork strengtheners and 50% thicker skid bars make our forks the toughest in the industry.
* 20% thicker battery box protects center section of truck with doubled welds and added gussets.
* Rugged polymer cover won’t bend, dent, fade or rust like metal covers. Snaps conveniently on and off for easy maintenance.
COMFORT / ERGONOMICS
- * The comfortable, ergonomic design and naturally intuitive controls of the 8000 Series make it a favourite of operators. Roomy operating compartment with 525 square inches of foot space, welcomes the driver with a low 9.5-inch step height, so there’s less fatigue stepping up and down. A thick, padded foot cushion and convenient lean points provide comfort throughout the shift.
* Tactile, intuitive solid state controls. Whether riding or walking, the operator can use conveniently located, ergonomically designed twist grips or thumb wheels to more comfortably operate the truck. Control operation is intuitive – just twist the soft-touch grips forward to move forward, backward to move backward. The easy-to-read operator display is conveniently placed. And the horn, lower and lift buttons are just inches away.
* Grab rail operating functions are within easy reach. That includes lift, lower, rabbit speed and horn.
EASE OF USE
- * Special steel support carries handle loading to the transmission. This adds strength and allows easier access to the brake and drive motor.
* Raymond's pioneered and patented CoastPRO™ System can be activated with only one hand as compared to other brands’ trucks, which require both hands to activate coast, or even require the operator to manually flip a lever, switch or plunger to activate and deactivate coast. On the 8000 Series, the operator also has a conveniently located, one-step trigger to jog the truck, compared to competitors’ two-step systems.
* Operators appreciate the programmable top-end travel speed of up to 9 mph, and unsurpassed pick speeds. The system includes a virtually unlimited range of performance settings to control speed and acceleration, optimizing control in tight quarters and speed in open areas. And the 8000 Series lets you program up to 10 operator skill levels – from slower speeds for new employees to faster speeds for more experienced operato
