Need a Lift Truck for Cold Storage? No Problem

Operating equipment in the cold environments of refrigerator, freezer, and cold storage warehouses can be incredibly challenging. Not only must you find machinery that can stand up to the harsh environment, but you also have to provide employees with the equipment they need to safely work under such conditions.

Heubel recognizes the need for high-performance lift trucks even under extreme conditions. With 60,000 Raymond trucks already in operation in cold storage facilities and refrigerators across North America, we are well prepared to provide you with the equipment you need to run your facility.

Extreme performance

Raymond trucks perform so well in the extreme cold because they were designed with these conditions in mind. Engineers test in a cold storage facility to ensure great performance even under the harshest conditions. We have also addressed the problem of prolonging industrial battery life: Most batteries lose up to 35% of their capacity while in cold conditions — but Raymond’s Reach-Fork Trucks and Counterbalanced Trucks deliver longer battery life to decrease costs and minimize downtime during operations. Other options, such as Pallet Trucks, also feature optimal traction and precise controls to keep both truck and operator safe in cold storage environments.

Heubel also offers these product features that were designed specifically for cold storage and freezer environments.

• ThemaKit — This system keeps operators comfortable and productive in cold environments. Heated control handles and floor cushions keep operators warm while reducing the need for bulky gloves or outerwear, and the thermostatically controlled heater turns off for operation in non-freezer environments.
• Cold Storage Conditioning — Sensitive lift truck control systems are protected from the cold through a variety of components. Each is designed to maximize performance in temperatures ranging from 50 degrees to minus 20 degrees F.
• iBATTERY — The industrial battery management system offers real-time data to supervisors, reporting details such as battery temperature, water levels, charge intervals, and level of remaining battery life.

Raymond solutions are designed to handle every application regardless of the conditions. Whether your lift trucks are used in a balmy 70 degrees or a frigid minus 20, you can expect excellent performance for every task.
