Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RAYMOND PRODUCTS from 3G Electric.
What is the load capacity of Raymond Products flow-through platform trucks?
Raymond Products flow-through platform trucks are available in capacities including 850 lb, 2,400 lb, and 3,200 lb. For example, the 850 lb model (MPN 3941) has a 36 in L x 24 in W x 7 1/2 in H perforated 14 ga steel deck, while the 3,200 lb models (MPN 3957 and 3958) feature a 54 in L x 30 in W x 11 3/4 in H perforated ribbed deck. Capacity depends on the specific model and caster configuration. Always verify the rated capacity for the exact model before use.
What types of casters are used on Raymond Products platform trucks?
Raymond Products platform trucks use various caster configurations, including swivel, rigid, and combinations. For instance, some models have four swivel casters (e.g., MPN 3958), while others have two rigid and two swivel casters (e.g., MPN 3957). Wheel materials include rubber, phenolic, and steel, chosen based on load capacity and floor surface. The caster type affects maneuverability and rolling resistance. Refer to the specific product specifications for caster details.
What is the difference between a Raymond Products panel truck and a platform truck?
Raymond Products panel trucks, such as the single-height vertical panel truck (MPN 3908), are designed with adjustable rails to secure large, flat materials like panels or sheets during transport. They typically have a higher deck height and a more vertical orientation. Platform trucks, like the flow-through models, have a flat deck for general loads and may feature perforated surfaces for drainage. Panel trucks are specialized for vertical transport, while platform trucks are versatile for various cargo types.
Are Raymond Products platform trucks available with perforated decks?
Yes, many Raymond Products platform trucks feature perforated decks. For example, MPN 3954 has a perforated rubber deck, MPN 3941 has a perforated 14 ga steel deck, and MPN 3957 has a perforated ribbed deck. Perforated decks allow debris and liquids to pass through, keeping the load surface cleaner. They are common in applications where sanitation or drainage is important. The deck material and pattern vary by model.
What are the common deck sizes for Raymond Products platform trucks?
Raymond Products platform trucks come in several deck sizes. Common dimensions include 36 in L x 24 in W (e.g., MPN 3941) and 54 in L x 30 in W (e.g., MPN 3954, 3957, 3958). Deck heights range from 7 1/2 in to 11 3/4 in. The size chosen depends on the load dimensions and the available aisle space. Larger decks accommodate bulkier items but may require more maneuvering room.
