Raymond introduces 4260 stand-up smart truck

The Raymond Corporation has introduced the Raymond 4260 Stand-up Counterbalanced Truck, designed to be operator-focused and with integrated intelligence to create a smart, scalable solution that evolves with business needs.

With a 3000 to 5000lb capacity, the Raymond 4260 offers speed, acceleration and manoeuvrability with features that aim to enhance comfort, control and confidence.

The lift and travel speeds keep pace with high-demand operations; standard electric power steering and revised regenerative braking extend run-times; and tool-free covers plus touch-screen diagnostics help speed up most maintenance procedures.

The expanded operator compartment with adjustable controls, extra ergonomic padding and an extended operator backrest join Raymond’s  ComfortStance Suspension as standard equipment to enhance operator confidence during long shifts.

The Performance Stability System moderates speed, steering and tilt inputs for smooth load handling; a sculpted front cover provides enhanced visibility and standard integral sideshift simplifies pallet positioning and staging.

Designed to integrate and communicate energy insights between lift truck, battery and iWarehouse Telematics, the new model will be available with factory-installed Raymond Lithium batteries.

Through advanced connected intelligence and technology, the Raymond 4260 enables operators, managers and lift trucks to work in sync. This stand-up counterbalanced truck offers a telematics-ready architecture that combines smart truck functionality, operator assist technologies and operational insights in the standard on-board display.

The Raymond 4260 is enabled with iWarehouse Telematics with an integrated, dashboard-mounted iMonitor display that serves as the lift truck’s command centre, giving operators clear, real-time information, such as load weight, fork height and mast tilt angle.

It has optional smart lift truck functionality through operator assist technology, including Raymond’s iWarehouse ObjectSense Detection & Notification System and iWarehouse Real-Time Location System.

“The introduction of Model 4260 reflects Raymond’s enduring commitment to continuous innovation that addresses real-world needs of our customers and their operators,” said Tim Shaw, product marketing manager for Class I products at The Raymond Corporation, a brand of Toyota Material Handling North America. “We listen first and then engineer with purpose. Customers have relied on Raymond’s stand-up counterbalanced models for decades, with a legacy dating back to the introduction of the Raymond Pacer in 1973. Model 4260 builds on that proven foundation, while elevating operator confidence, productivity and long-term fleet performance. When paired with iWarehouse Telematics, it becomes part of a connected solution that gives operation leaders actionable, data-driven insights to continuously improve their fleet and their entire operations.”
