    Raymond Corporation’s new 9000 series Swing-Reach forklifts come with a range of energy-saving devices, including regenerative lowering that automatically recharges the battery and LED compartment lights.

    When the forks are lowered, the motor generates energy that is fed back into the battery, maximizing battery efficiency and providing a more consistent lifting and lowering speed.

    The trucks also have the AC technology—ACR System—that delivers more run-time per battery charge and experiences less reduction in forklift performance and greater reliability as the battery discharges.

    The 9000 Series can be adapted to changing warehouse environments and narrow aisles.
