For most businesses, nearly everything that can go in a warehouse is palletized.  There are, however, a few industries where long or bulky materials are the norm, and that can present unique storage and handling challenges.  Here are just a few examples:

• Steel / Metal Fabrication: bar stock, sheet metal, metal rolls
• Building Materials: lumber, plywood / OSB, gypsum board, material rolls
• Household Goods: carpeting, countertop slabs, flooring, lamintes
• Plumbing: piping, tubing

Raymond 9000 Series Sideloaders

Raymond Sideloaders are specially designed to handle long or bulky products with features such as adjustable forks, auxiliary carriage forks, rail guidance options for narrow aisle configurations, along with other features that set Raymond apart:

• Two wheels that steer independently allow for sideways travel down narrow aisles.
• Precision fork tilt enables better load control, meaning less product and rack damage.
• Mast and carriage tilt provide even more load control.
• PowerSteer from Raymond significantly reduces operator effort when it comes to steering, and can reduce fatigue and boost productivity.
• A single knob controls both lift and lower functions, allowing complete and variable speed control.
