3PL builds its success on a foundation of Clark forklifts and has stuck with the brand for more than 30 years

German 3PL Scheren has operated a Clark fleet since 1980. The warehousing specialist currently has 26 Clark forklifts with 1.5 to 5.5 tonnes load-bearing capacity in service.

Transporting and distributing chemicals, FMCG and hazardous goods, Scheren has over 90,000 pallet storage spaces at three warehouse sites in the south of Düsseldorf. With 200 employees, approx. 120,000 pallets are moved every month. The Clark forklifts and other machines load and unload more than 150 trucks daily for storage and retrieval operations.

As well as speed, Clark's compact chassis trucks steer easily in and out among narrow aisle widths. The trucks also offer secure stability with a clear view of loads and forks.

The logistics specialist uses LPG machines, including the C30C and C32 models from the Gen 2 series and machines of the CGC series. All Clark compact forklifts fitted with banded cushion tyre forklifts offer very good stability, says the company, which holds even at very high lifting heights.

The excellent mast vision makes it easier to stack high racks. The Clark mast damping system also lets drivers treat goods and the forklift gently when working at seven metres height.

An ergonomically designed cab offers driver comfort, space and all operating elements within a convenient range.

Looking to the future, Scheren is testing the new GEX40-50 with super-elastic tyres.

The 80-Volt four-wheel forklift with loadbearing capacities of 4, 4.5 and 5 tonnes represents a logical development of the successful GEX series.

The conceptual design of the GEX, which features two drive motors, 100% AC technology and maintenance-free oilimmersed disk brakes, is identical to Clark's industry-proven three and fourwheel models in the 48 and 80 Volt segment. The company says: "It is regarded as a guarantee for tremendous performance, optimum manoeuvrability and secure load handling."
