GREENE, N.Y., July 21, 2015 — The Raymond Corporation is the first manufacturer to offer the NexSys® battery and charger system from EnerSys®, a global leader in stored energy solutions, factory-direct with select orders of its walkie pallet and stacker trucks starting July 15. This system, sold through Raymond Sales and Service Centers, is available fully installed as well as ready to integrate into existing systems and lift trucks.

“Many of our customers require a reliable, low-maintenance battery and charger system with a long life expectancy,” says Sue Rice, product manager of pallet trucks and stackers at Raymond. “The NexSys is a superior option for battery and charging operations, and when used in tandem with Raymond lift trucks, it provides performance and value.”

The battery and charger system features a high-frequency charger and sealed thin-plate technology batteries, which do not require service and offer ideal performance in opportunity-charging environments. NexSys can fully recharge in three hours versus conventional battery and charger systems that take eight hours or more to fully recharge.

In addition, NexSys can benefit operators of Raymond® lift trucks who operate outside a warehouse, such as on a delivery dock, where they need reliable power to complete a task and have minimal time to maintain batteries.

“NexSys offers added durability and longevity to help facility and operation managers take their productivity to the next level,” says Chad Uplinger, general manager of specialty markets for EnerSys. “The battery and charger system is backed by NexSys’ 24-month warranty, which is activated upon the first use.”
