Raymond/Cat thing was a private label agreement between Raymond & Cat as in CII). Cat wanted to get into the Class II/III market. In the narrow aisle product the Cat product used a different controller. The Cat badged trucks had their own first line support team based in Greene but in a separate facility & a set up as a different company (MHE as I recall). Service parts were packaged & shipped in CAT labled products. After the formation of MCFA in 1992, the Mitusbishi branding of the MHE products began in 1994?. The Mitsi products utilized GE controllers in Class II models to have some prodcut difference between Cat, Raymond & Mitsi. Personally, worked on the agreement along with our legal council & upper management while I was at MCFA.

Obviously, these agreements all died the death of a ragged doll when Toyota took over Raymond.
