Raymond was booted out of Wal-Mart here in Ontario 4 years ago. All DC's for Wal-Mart are going Crown. Most Wal-mart stores are switching to Crown as the Raymond lifts wear out.
The statement "Raymond is doing all the maintenance for Wal-mart" is totally wrong. The friendship between the founders of Walmart and Crown go way back, and that partnership will continue. I visited a huge walmart DC last month, that was 100% Raymond 4 years ago. Now, over 200 Crown trucks with Hydrogen fuel cells keep the place going. Crown is a sleeping giant that just woke up. They are poised to take an even bigger market share. Raymond has Home depot in Canada, with Toyota Propane CB trucks...all on a tight fixed maintenance budget.
Don't know anything about NACCO, but it's very possible they will take Home Depot. Might have to get a job with them!
