Mechanical Design and Solid Modeling

RICO engineering uses the most advanced tools available to rapidly develop solutions for our customers. We leverage 3D solid modeling, motion simulation and other design validation software to create functional designs capable of being manufactured.

Codes and Standards

Numerous codes and standards govern safety requirements for industrial trucks and material handling equipment. RICO engineers believe knowledge of these standards is essential to building the safest and most reliable equipment. That’s why every RICO engineer, designer and quality assurance technician is thoroughly trained in and intimately familiar with these standards.

We even voluntarily conform to non-government mandated standards when we believe this will produce a safer product for our customer. Here are some of the standards RICO adheres to where applicable. (This is not a comprehensive list.)
