MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISPLAY UNIT NOW AVAILABLE ON RAYMOND REACH-FORK® SERIES MODEL The iWAREHOUSE system becomes the first telematics solution to integrate multiple operational systems in a single, factory-installed display unit.

Field, chief executive officer for The Raymond Corporation. “This new approach moves telematics functionality from being an add-on to an integral component of the lift truck. It leverages the systems and information we […]
