Raymond Drive Unit Remanufactured – RA1008858R

This remanufactured drive unit assembly is built for Raymond electric lift trucks and supplied on an exchange basis, with a core required at the time of purchase. The drive unit houses the gear reduction and output components that turn motor torque into wheel motion, a subsystem under continuous load every time the truck accelerates, decelerates, or changes direction.

Remanufacturing restores this assembly to factory tolerances rather than replacing it outright, rebuilding the housing and internal gear components so the unit performs like new at a lower cost than an all-new assembly. The exchange requirement is standard practice for drive units of this size, since the worn core is returned to the rebuilder after the replacement unit is installed, which keeps the remanufacturing supply chain running and keeps the price down compared to buying new.

At 165 pounds, this is a heavy, shop-installed component that requires proper lifting equipment rather than a hand swap. Matching the manufacturer part number when ordering ensures the correct drive unit reaches the right Raymond truck series. Forklifts Etc. supplies remanufactured Raymond drive units for fleets managing scheduled drivetrain service.
