Abel Womack provides engineering services and material handling equipment solutions for general and refrigerated warehouses. We work with developers and architects to design optimal systems for warehouse productivity and renovate existing structures to gain floor space and improve efficiency.
Raymond offers reach trucks that can operate in refrigerated warehouses, cold storage facilities, and freezer environments with features that improve operator comfort for increased efficiency and superior performance.
At t
he new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream distribution center (a 2,000-pallet freezer) in St. Albans, VT, the freezer was built to store all of the company’s ice cream which is distributed to sites worldwide.
Ben & Jerry’s chose the Raymond Deep-Reach electric forklifts, outfitted with cold-storage conditioning packages, and the Raymond ThermaKit System that warms the control handle and floor pad for operator comfort.

Our solution for Tappan Wire and Cable’s manufacturing and warehouse facility took advantage of Raymond’s wire-guided, very narrow aisle lift truck technology to increase operator productivity and recover 9,000 SF of space in the facility. The recovered floor space allowed Tappan to purchase modernized manufacturing equipment and increase their production of new products.

RadioShuttle deep lane storage systems can dramatically increase space efficiency and are ideal for cold storage environments.- Operator comfort package
- A cold storage package offering thinner oils for colder temps, heaters within the machine to reduce condensation issues, larger buttons for a gloved hand, and a wire screen in front of the operator rather than a glass shield, which tends to fog is available for reach trucks.
