Case Study: Bonide boosts warehouse efficiency with Raymond lift trucks

Bonide boosts batch-making from 4 to 14 per day with The Raymond Corporation

Bonide, a manufacturer of home, lawn and garden, and pest control products, faced significant operational challenges due to rapid growth and limited warehouse space. Their existing forklifts caused considerable downtime, jeopardizing their 48-hour shipping commitment. To meet this challenge, Bonide partnered with The Raymond Corporation to upgrade its material handling equipment.

The solution involved implementing a new fleet of Raymond lift trucks, including Reach trucks and counterbalanced forklifts, and a warehouse redesign incorporating narrow aisles. This partnership with The Raymond Corporation yielded major improvements, reducing travel distance by nearly a quarter-mile per product move and increasing batch-making abilities from four to 14 per day. These efficiencies resulted in substantial cost savings and helped Bonide reliably meet its customer demands.
