The Raymond Corporation has introduced the new Raymond® Model 8210 walkie pallet truck featuring AC technology, which offers superior maneuverability and speed control, the flexibility to adapt to extreme environments and easy service and maintenance.

When working in tight areas, such as trailers or lift gates, the Model 8210’s unrivaled maneuverability and speed control give the operator superior handling. Its exclusive Click2Creep™ technology automatically reduces maximum travel speed while also providing a tighter turning radius for pin-wheeling or right-angle turning. And Raymond’s ACR System™ technology and static torque control provide superior speed control and transitions, especially at low speeds.

“We work closely with our customers and listen to which features are important to them,” says Sue Rice, product manager for pallet trucks and stackers at Raymond. “Their feedback includes many new features reflected in the Model 8210. Delivery customers are delighted with these enhancements.”

Some of the features:

• Exclusive Lift and Go™ technology prevents wear to the underside of forks.
• Stainless steel undercarriage pins prevent corrosion in wet applications.
• New reflective materials on logos are ideal for low-light applications.
• Easy-to-access electric brake release retains braking ability when engaged.

The Model 8210 now comes standard with IP65 protection of electronics, meeting the highest standard for water and dust protection. This ensures reliability and performance in extreme wet conditions and during pressure-washing — in addition to a range of options for harsh environments.

“So many users today view walkie pallet trucks as commodities,” says Rice. “And if low, upfront cost is all that matters to your operation, it may seem so. However, if easy product handling or navigation in tight areas is important, the maneuverability and speed control of the Model 8210 is truly unique in the industry. We’ve put more features into the truck that improve how you get the job done.”

Durability is standard on the Model 8210 with a ductile iron frame and undercarriage components for longer-lasting, more-resilient performance. The removable, ribbed bumper uses the same material found in automotive truck frames to combine accessibility with strength, resilience and efficiency. Engineered with fewer components and maintenance points, the Model 8210 provides longer component life and supports easier access to components.

With more power options than ever before, customers can choose the best way to get the job done — whether with a flooded wet cell or maintenance-free or thin plate technology. Model 8210 offers customers enhanced fit with industrial applications for simplified accessibility and charging.
