The narrow-aisle benchmark. Battery, reach mechanism, and load wheels are the inspection — built for relentless distribution-center duty.
Raymond reach trucks are the standard in narrow-aisle distribution. Like any reach truck, the battery pack, reach mechanism, and load wheels carry the cost, and these machines often run hard around the clock.
The pack is a major cost and runtime depends on it.
CHECK Load-test the pack and check the charger and cells.
The reach mechanism wears with high cycles.
CHECK Cycle the reach and check for slop and leaks.
Load wheels wear under constant use.
CHECK Inspect load wheels and base legs.
Cylinders drift when worn.
CHECK Lift and reach a load and check for drift.
Drive and controls can fault.
CHECK Operate and scan for faults.
