Raymond Releases Expanded Capacities On 4750 Sit-Down Counterbalanced Trucks

Intralogistics solutions provider brings industry-leading stability, agility and maneuverability to new lift trucks

Raymond Releases Expanded Capacities On 4750 Sit-Down Counterbalanced Trucks

GREENE, N.Y., August 23, 2022 — The Raymond Corporation, an industry-leading intralogistics solutions provider, announces new capacity options for its 4750 4-wheel sit-down counterbalanced truck, which focuses on right-sizing equipment and bringing visibility from the iWAREHOUSE® Fleet and Warehouse Optimization System to warehouse tasks. The 4750 is now available with five new capacity options: 3,000, 3,500, 8,000, 10,000 and 12,000 pounds.

“With the current state of the supply chain, the need to effectively manage a warehouse and allow an operator to efficiently utilize space, labor and equipment is more critical than ever,” said Tim Rice, product manager supervisor at The Raymond Corporation. “This requires an end-to-endless approach that identifies opportunities for efficiencies at every turn, and with the new 4750 line extensions, warehouse managers have more power than ever to dig into warehouse tasks to find time, labor, energy or dollar savings.”

Designed for exceptional stability, agility and maneuverability, the 4750 is available to help handle loads more quickly and efficiently while optimizing storage capacity. Available in various configurations and options, such as cold-storage conditioning, specialized attachments, and compatibility with the iWAREHOUSE telematics system, the 4750 sets the standard for productivity.

With both small- and large-capacity options, the expanded capacity range offers operations the ability to choose the right tool for the job and Raymond as their total-solutions provider.

The 4750 trucks offer improved productivity and efficiency features for operators, including:

Ergonomic Enhancements to Solve Operator Productivity – Equipped with a spacious, easy-to-access operator compartment, the 4750 line of lift trucks helps operators feel comfortable for the entire duration of their shifts by including a fully adjustable, full-suspension cushioned seat; tilt steering wheel; and ergonomically placed controls for enhanced comfort and productivity.


Superior Stability to Solve Labor Challenges – With an ever-growing skills gap, the need for greater operator confidence is at an all-time high. For less-experienced operators, Raymond’s Performance Stability System™ uses both an active mast control and an active rear axle swing lock to help minimize damage to goods and facilities. The intuitive and easy-to-use controls integrated into the multifunctional display help to increase operator confidence and performance by meeting operators where they are.

Exceptional Maneuverability and Versatility to Navigate Congested Warehouses – As the boom of e-commerce continues to keep operations moving, the influx of new products and processes has left many warehouses with a congested flow of people, products and machines. The 4750 comes with a wide range of attachments, including multiple load handler, layer picker, carton clamps and rotating forks to help enhance the flow of goods through a facility. It also is equipped with Integral Sideshift, which comes standard on all 4750 lift trucks, allowing faster, more straightforward pallet positioning. The innovative Auto Tilt Leveling brings forks perpendicular to the mast with the touch of a button for easier, more confident load stacking and retrieval.

“Labor shortages and congested warehouses are issues across the entire supply chain, affecting everyone from warehouses and distribution centers to truckers and retailers,” Rice said. “The 4750 is designed to help operations optimize their space and serve as a solution to ever-evolving challenges in the material handling industry.”

The Raymond Corporation is committed to getting you the products you need on time. The 4750 has industry competitive lead-times with some capacities available for delivery in just 12 weeks for standard configurations.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
