Outreach: The new Raymond Model 7600 Reach-Fork truck allows the operator to sit or stand,
depending on the material handling task being performed. The seated position enhances the range of
operating positions, increasing operator comfort and
lessening fatigue. For example, an operator may
choose the seated position for longer runs.
The Model 7600 Reach-Fork truck provides
excellent maneuverability for high stacking and
tall loads and is a productive solution for high-throughput applications. The ergonomic, cushioned
seat flips up and out of the way to allow the operator to use the
lift truck in a standing position. Two separate deadman pedals also
are featured: one solely for seated use, and the other specifically
for standing operation. The open-view mast has no center cylinder
for good operator visibility and fast, efficient operations in rack
interface work applications.
The Model 7600 Reach-Fork lift truck is available in a 4,500-
pound capacity. Raymond Deep-Reach configurations offer a
3,200-pound capacity with deep reach capability. The Model 7600
lifts up to 37 feet and offers 18.25-inch and 21.25-inch battery
compartments to meet the run-time needs of specific applications.
The entire 7000 Series of lift trucks offers performance, reliability, and low cost of operation with Raymond’s ACR System, which
provides AC motors on both lift and drive. AC power provides
smooth, precise load handling, quiet lift, and longer battery run time
with less reduction in truck performance as the battery discharges.

Store more: For companies that need storage space quickly,
Stanley Vidmar offers its Outdoor Store. Developed in partnership
with Ban-Air Storage Systems, the Outdoor Store is a steel-clad
semipermanent warehouse built around heavy-duty adjustable
racking that supports the structure’s exterior walls and roof. It is
designed for quick construction on parking lots or other relatively
flat locations and does not require a foundation.
The Outdoor Store is designed to accommodate the Stanley
Vidmar STAK System, a handling solution that enables one operator to efficiently manage loads weighing up to 4,000 pounds in
less than 250 square feet.
The Outdoor Store can be configured to accommodate a range
of different-sized products, including heavy, bulky, or awkwardly
shaped items. The design takes advantage of natural light and can
be fitted with solar panels for lighting and power charging within the
structure. The Outdoor Store is enclosed either fully or partially and
can be fitted with roller shutter doors for increased security. (Stanley

Versatile cart: Topper Industrial introduces the Trans4mer cart.
The Trans4mer cart is a four-wheel steering cart that transforms
into a two-wheel steering, hand-operated pushcart. Designed to
optimize efficiency, the cart is equally maneuverable while being
pulled by a tugger or pushed by an operator. Using this cart
reduces reliance on forklifts by instead using a tugger and a train
of carts to move products within a facility.
When the tow bar is tipped down, the Trans4mer cart changes
functions from a pushcart into a four-wheel steering cart. To
return the four-wheel steering cart back to pushcart mode, the
operator simply lifts the tow bar upward. (Topper Industrial,
