Automated lift truck offers increased productivity, versatility, and operational flexibility in a variety of very narrow aisle applications

The Raymond Corporation has introduced the Raymond® Automated Transtacker (Automated TRT) to its line of automated warehouse solutions, further expanding the company’s comprehensive intralogistics solutions portfolio. With a very narrow aisle (VNA) design and dual-mode versatility, the Raymond Automated TRT provides both space- and labor-saving benefits.

Designed to keep you moving, the new Automated TRT offers dual-mode operation: automated mode for full pallet moves and manual mode for case picking. With no need for operator breaks, this means more hours on the floor and more pallets moved per shift, increasing productivity. The Automated TRT’s Order Manager software fully integrates with your warehouse management system (WMS) to optimize performance and eliminate errors.

The ultimate VNA warehouse solution for applications such as e-commerce, manufacturing, and food and beverage, the Automated TRT is designed to lift loads as heavy as 3,000 pounds in aisles as narrow as 54 inches, reaching heights up to 59 feet.

“This new Automated TRT showcases our dedication to keep our customers running at peak efficiency. This new model offers customers a flexible solution for high-density, high-selectivity storage environments,” said Martin Buena Franco, product marketing manager of automation at Raymond. “Thanks to the increased productivity hours an automated truck provides, the Automated TRT can increase pallet moves by 20% per month.”

Additional benefits include: 

• Flexibility: Manufactured with the features needed to accommodate automation additions and changes down the road.
• Sustainability: Equipped with an energy-efficient lithium-ion battery, the Transtacker recharges during use and requires no changes.
• Versatility: The flexible, movable storage and retrieval lift design have no hydraulic components and longer service life. It’s like getting two lift trucks in one.
• Quality: Automatic WMS eliminates human error for faster, more accurate, and streamlined order processing.
• Ease of Use: Advanced controls provide precise positioning and load-handling functions, along with dynamic hoist braking, to help minimize brake wear and increase operator confidence.
• Operator Comfort: With top- and bottom-mounted guide rails, a full-height mast, and an ergonomically designed compartment, the Transtacker offers unmatched stability for maximum operator comfort and productivity.

Raymond and its entire network of more than 100 authorized Solutions and Support Centers throughout North America – which offer customers local support and service – sell, support, and service the new Automated TRT vehicles.
