The Raymond Corp. is advancing warehouse efficiency with the launch of three new lithium-ion-powered heavy-duty stackers. The 6310 Walkie Straddle Stacker, 6410 Walkie Reach Stacker and 6510 Walkie Counterbalanced Stacker aim to optimize throughput and storage space. The new electric walkie models increase efficiency with ergonomic design and flexible pallet moving, the company says. The stackers offer smarter fleet management, enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces and a lower cost per move than traditional stand-up counterbalanced forklifts, it adds. They are powered by lithium-ion batteries and equipped with optional technology in the iWAREHOUSE Intelligence Warehouse Solutions suite. The stackers were built for performance and deliver improved productivity across demanding applications. “Today’s warehouses demand exceptional intelligence, flexibility and efficiency,” said Chad Kritzman, product manager for Class III at The Raymond Corp., in a statement. “Pairing these new electric stackers with our iWAREHOUSE Telematics allows businesses to keep up with changing demands while ensuring their people and fleet are driving productivity. It’s just one of the ways we help keep industries moving forward.” Key features include lithium-ion PSI, PSL, power assist steering, sideshift carriage as well as the iWAREHOUSE capabilities. “Operators need more control, tighter turning and greater power in confined spaces,” Kritzman added. “The new stackers reflect the feedback we have received and built upon the need for smarter energy systems and operator-centric designs. These stackers make every move count.”
