FEATURES BROCHURE RAYMOND ® TRUCKS AND TOW TRACTORS You may want to consider one or more of the following features if one or more of your pallet handling forklifts operate in certain environments. Please note: Some of these features create potential hazards that would not exist in their absence. Accordingly, these features should be selected only after careful consideration. PURPOSE Raymond products are designed to comply with the American National Standards Institute Safety Standard For Low Lift and High Lift Trucks, ANSI/ITSDF B56.1, The United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Powered Industrial Trucks, 29 C.F.R. 1910.178, and Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.’s Standard for Safety Electric-Battery-Powered Industrial Trucks, UL 583. In their standard configuration, Raymond products minimize overall operational risk across the entire range of anticipated environments of use. For particular environments of use, however, modifications to this standard configuration may further decrease risk for those particular applications. This brochure is designed to acquaint the customer with some of the features available for use with Raymond pallet trucks and tow tractors. Please carefully review this brochure and discuss with your Raymond Dealer those features that may have utility in your specific application. These features may be ordered with a new truck or may be added to forklifts already in operation.

SCOPE / TABLE OF CONTENTS LIGHTS AND ALARMS FALL PROTECTION This list may be revised and individual items added or withdrawn at any time. Not all features offered by The Raymond Corporation are included in this brochure. Additional features/configurations may also be available from Raymond. Specific inquires will be evaluated upon request. Additionally, these features may also have application to other than the particular models listed. Ask your Raymond Dealer for more information.

LIGHTS AND ALARMS Audible Alarm: (Motion or Back-up, Fixed or Variable Sound Levels) Raymond forklifts are designed to provide excellent visibility to the operator when traveling in either the forks leading or forks trailing mode. Each forklift is equipped with a horn as standard equipment. The horn serves as a device to warn pedestrians and other truck operators of the presence of a truck. Accordingly, an operator is normally able to see pedestrians or other truck operators and warn them of a truck’s presence. In certain environments of use, however, there may be a high level of pedestrian...

Compartment Light: The quality of warehouse lighting may vary throughout the warehouse. In this situation, an operator may have difficulty reading paperwork. Auxiliary lighting may be mounted across the overhead guard to ensure adequate lighting for the operator. Application Considerations: ›› May not be appropriate for use in cold storage environments Models ›› 5000 Series EASi Orderpicker, 9600, 9700, and EASi Swing-Reach® Warning Light: Raymond forklifts are designed to provide excellent visibility when an operator is traveling in either the forks leading or forks trailing mode. Each...

Rear Operator Guard: In certain environments of use, there is a heightened risk that objects such as bar stock, lumber, pipe, and similar materials may protrude into the operator’s compartment. The rear guard is available to provide additional protection against incidental intrusions, which may occur in narrow aisles during slow maneuvering. It will not provide protection against all intrusions, particularly those that can result from significant impacts. The full length rear guard is designed to protect the operator’s lower body. The partial guard is designed to protect the small of the...

Rear Vertical Posts/ Extended Backrest: In some environments of use, the first level horizontal rack beams are higher than the top of the forklift power section and lower than the overhead guard. In such a situation, the potential exists for the power section to under ride the rack beam. This potential can be heightened when the truck is being maneuvered to right angle stack in an aisle with minimal clearance and/or when lower storage locations are empty. To avoid this situation, the customer should: ›› Alter the design of their warehouse by adding a floor level rack beam ›› Lower the first...

FALL PROTECTION Belts, Harnesses, and Tethers Retractable Tether: Platforms used for elevating personnel shall have a Fall Protection System consisting of either a restraining means such as a guard rail system or operator Fall Protection System. Accordingly, every Raymond Swing-Reach and orderpicker vehicle comes equipped with a Fall Protection System. Although Raymond has traditionally provided a personal fall protection system, there are certain requirements based on the weight of the operator regarding the configuration of a personal fall protection system and permissible components. See...

Guard Rail System With 3-Bar Sidegate: As an alternative to a personal Fall Protection System, a guard rail system with a 3-bar sidegate is available to serve as a mandated Fall Protection System. For additional potential utility, also see Pallet Handling Unit Platform Barrier. Application Considerations: ›› Reduces and restricts platform space ›› Impairs order picking, particularly at floor level ›› If the sidegate is raised when elevated the operator must have their belt or harness and tether in place ›› Difficult to dismount the truck when in a narrow aisle Models ›› 9600, 9700, and EASi...

Optional Bed Length: (from 49-60 inches long) The standard load bed is versatile and suitable for handling a variety of loads. In certain environments, however, a differently sized load bed may be of assistance because of the length and size of the load to be handled. Application Considerations: ›› Working aisle clearances, guide rails, and intersecting aisles must be increased to accommodate optional bed Raymond forklifts are designed to provide excellent visibility to the operator when traveling in either the forks leading or forks tailing mode. In certain environments, a mirror may...
