Pallet Jacks - New Power Steer Option

The Raymond Corp. offers a new PowerSteer option on its 8000 Series rider pallet trucks. This option significantly reduces the effort required to maneuver a pallet truck, resulting in increased operator comfort over the course of a shift. The PowerSteer feature is available on the Raymond Model 8400 end rider, Model 8500 center rider, and Model 8600 tugger trucks to improve productivity in dock, horizontal transport, and low-level order picking applications.

The Raymond PowerSteer option provides consistent, responsive steering because of its AC-powered motor and controls. This speed-sensitive steering gives operators greater control and confidence as the pallet truck travels at higher speeds. The Raymond ACR System reduces maintenance with no wearable parts or brushes, delivers more run-time per battery charge, and provides enhanced response to operator commands.

Raymond center rider and tugger trucks with the PowerSteer option also feature an adjustable-height handle to accommodate a wide range of operator heights and preferred operating positions. They automatically slow down when turning corners to provide smooth, controlled operation.
