Raymond Introduces 4260 Stand-Up Counterbalanced Truck with Integrated Intelligence, Future-Ready Performance
New Raymond® smart truck is a scalable solution with intuitive features, lithium-ion battery-ready
GREENE, N.Y., April 28, 2026 — The Raymond Corporation introduces the Raymond® 4260 Stand-up Counterbalanced Truck, with advanced performance, operator-focused design, and integrated intelligence to create a smart, scalable solution that evolves with business needs.
With a 3,000- to 5,000-pound capacity, the Raymond 4260 delivers exceptional speed, acceleration and maneuverability with intuitive features that enhance comfort, control and confidence. Key elements include:
- Performance and uptime — Industry-leading lift and travel speeds keep pace with high-demand operations; standard electric power steering and revised regenerative braking extend run-times; and tool-free covers plus touch-screen diagnostics help speed up most maintenance procedures.
- Comfort and control — Expanded operator compartment with adjustable controls, extra ergonomic padding and an extended operator backrest join the proven ComfortStance™ Suspension as standard equipment to enhance operator confidence during long shifts.
- Precision handling — Performance Stability System™ moderates speed, steering and tilt inputs for smooth load handling; a sculpted front cover provides enhanced visibility; and standard integral sideshift simplifies pallet positioning and staging.
- Lithium-ion power — Designed to integrate and communicate energy insights between lift truck, battery and iWAREHOUSE® Telematics, the new model will be available with factory-installed Raymond Lithium batteries.
Through advanced connected intelligence and technology, the Raymond 4260 enables operators, managers and lift trucks to work in sync. This stand-up counterbalanced truck offers a telematics-ready architecture that combines smart truck functionality, operator assist technologies and operational insights in the standard on-board display. The Raymond 4260:
- Is enabled with iWAREHOUSE Telematics with an integrated, dashboard-mounted iMONITOR® display that serves as the lift truck’s command center, giving operators clear, real-time information, such as load weight, fork height and mast tilt angle.
- Has optional smart lift truck functionality through operator assist technology, including Raymond’s iWAREHOUSE ObjectSense™ Detection & Notification System and iWAREHOUSE Real-Time Location System.
“The introduction of Model 4260 reflects Raymond’s enduring commitment to continuous innovation that addresses real-world needs of our customers and their operators,” said Tim Shaw, product marketing manager for Class I products, The Raymond Corporation, a brand of Toyota Material Handling North America. “We listen first and then engineer with purpose. Customers have relied on Raymond’s stand-up counterbalanced models for decades, with a legacy dating back to the introduction of the Raymond Pacer in 1973. Model 4260 builds on that proven foundation, while elevating operator confidence, productivity and long-term fleet performance. When paired with iWAREHOUSE Telematics, it becomes part of a connected solution that gives operation leaders actionable, data-driven insights to continuously improve their fleet and their entire operations.”
