The Raymond Corporation Donates Raymond Basics Sprint 2.0 Personnel Lift to Roberson Museum

Binghamton, N.Y. (April 5, 2022) – Roberson Museum and Science Center is pleased to be the recipient of a Raymond Basics Sprint 2.0 Personnel Lift donated by The Raymond Corporation and Raymond Solutions and Support Center, Pengate Handling Systems. The new lift will provide an increased level of efficiency for exhibitions and facilities staff at Roberson.

Oftentimes, changing light bulbs and hanging large banners from the ceiling is a lofty effort, however, this donation will provide less strain on staff and is a compact solution that can support a variety of needs. The Sprint has a tray that can lift 198 Ibs., which will come in handy for tree storage and setup during Roberson’s annual Home for the Holidays.


“We are happy to receive this incredibly generous donation from Raymond. This lift will help our facilities and exhibitions staff reach gallery ceilings more securely so they can clean, make repairs, and change our considerable number of lightbulbs around the Museum and Roberson Mansion,” said Michael Grasso, Executive Director of Roberson.

The most recent use of the Sprint 2.0 was during Roberson’s annual Home for the Holidays celebration. Through this special personnel lift, the Roberson facilities were able to add an extra bit of holiday light and magic to some of the harder to reach spaces.

“The Raymond Corporation is proud to offer support to our local community partners and to help them find solutions to help fill their needs,” said Jim O’Brien, vice president of sales for The Raymond Corporation. “Raymond is honored to have such a great community partner in the Roberson Museum who continues to enrich our community with educational exhibits and honored traditions like, Home for the Holidays.”
