Toyota is the world’s number one selling lift truck manufacturer, selling under both the Toyota and Raymond brands in the US.
Following an extensive testing process, the Flux LiFT-24V battery pack was approved for use in Toyota and Raymond Class III lift trucks, both new trucks and as a replacement option for existing trucks. The Industrial Truck Association (ITA) defines Class III walkies as electric-motored lift trucks operated by an individual walking behind the vehicle.
Toyota and Raymond are both part of Toyota Material Handling Group North America but operate as separate brands with distinct product lines and distribution channels. This approval enables Flux Power to sell into the vast Toyota and Raymond dealership network across the US. Toyota has more than 220 industrial equipment dealerships nationwide, while Raymond’s network includes more than 100 locations.
Compared to most lead-acid batteries used in forklifts, Flux LiFT Packs deliver longer run times, superior performance and longer life cycles, require no regular maintenance and provide lower total cost of ownership over the battery’s lifetime.
Flux Power CEO, Ron Dutt, commented, "Toyota and Raymond are leaders in researching and commercializing new technologies to improve power and performance in the electric lift truck market. This approval represents a significant step for Flux in achieving industry acceptance and expanding awareness for a battery pack that will benefit customers through lower operational costs and improved fleet efficiencies."
