Raymond Remanufactured Drive Unit – RA85R-138-735/015

This remanufactured drive unit assembly is built for Raymond electric lift trucks, supplied on an exchange basis with a core required at purchase. As a drive unit, it houses the gear reduction and output components that convert motor torque into wheel movement, a subsystem that takes constant load cycling every time the truck accelerates, brakes, or reverses direction.

Remanufacturing this assembly rather than replacing it new means the original housing and matched internal components are rebuilt to factory tolerances, which typically restores drive performance at a lower cost than a new unit while keeping the correct gear geometry for the original application. Because it is sold on exchange, the worn core is returned after the new unit is installed, a standard practice for heavy transmission components where core availability and rebuild economics make exchange the practical path.

At 140 pounds, this is a substantial assembly meant for shop installation with proper lifting equipment rather than a bench-level swap. Ordering by the manufacturer part number ensures the correct drive unit reaches the right truck series.
