Case Study: Empire Merchants improves warehouse efficiency with The Raymond Corporation

Empire Merchants reduces maintenance costs by 8% with The Raymond Corporation

Empire Merchants North LLC faced the challenge of merging three facilities and needed to maximize its warehouse square footage while improving operator productivity and material flow. The company partnered with The Raymond Corporation and its authorized dealer, Pengate Handling Systems, to address these needs.

Pengate Handling Systems devised an efficient distribution center layout and implemented a new fleet of Raymond electric lift trucks, including sit-down counterbalanced trucks, order pickers, and reach-fork trucks. This solution resulted in reduced fuel and maintenance costs, increased uptime, and an 8% reduction in maintenance costs through a comprehensive labor agreement with The Raymond Corporation.
