The Raymond Corporation has introduced its first electric forklifts designed for outdoor use.

The Raymond Corporation, a global leader in intralogistics solutions and material handling equipment innovation, has unveiled the 4800 and 4810 80-volt sit-down counterbalanced trucks. These electric forklifts are tailored for outdoor applications, presenting a breakthrough in sustainable material handling solutions.

Tailored for Outdoor Excellence

The 4800 and 4810 models have been specifically designed for outdoor use. They are well-suited for a variety of industries, including lumberyards, big-box stores, building material suppliers, container yards, and agricultural or commodity applications. These electric forklifts offer an emissions-free, low-maintenance, all-electric solution without compromising performance, versatility, or ease of operation.

Performance Meets Sustainability

Both models come equipped with the Raymond Performance Stability System™, ensuring precise vehicle control that minimizes damage to goods and facilities. Operators will appreciate the ergonomically designed operator station, featuring a full-suspension and fully adjustable seat, an attached armrest, and fingertip hydraulic controls with factory sideshift. To accommodate various environments, there is a range of enclosed or partially enclosed cabin options. Well-placed controls, including a power select function, allow operators to optimize power output for specific applications. The open view mast at the front enhances visibility, increasing operator confidence and comfort.

Cost-Effective Sustainability

In addition to delivering emissions-free performance, the 4800 and 4810 models help control operating costs and maximize uptime. They feature low-maintenance wet disc brakes and robust rechargeable batteries that eliminate the need for spark plugs, tune-ups, and scheduled oil changes. Both models come standard with an energy regeneration system, which increases runtime by converting energy back into the battery during plugging, coasting, and braking.

An Eco-Friendly Shift

The introduction of the 4800 and 4810 models aligns with the increasing emphasis on sustainability across industries. Many businesses are transitioning from conventionally powered forklifts to electric ones in pursuit of greener operations. These electric forklifts are fully capable both indoors and outdoors, providing features that help achieve sustainability goals and optimize overall performance. They seamlessly integrate with iWAREHOUSE and other Raymond telematics solutions, making them a smart choice for those looking to transition to an all-electric fleet.
