Clark launches new IC truck series

Developed in close cooperation with centres of excellence in America, Asia, Australia and Europe, the new generation forklift was put through its paces in numerous field tests. Feedback from drivers and operators was incorporated into development, enabling Clark to fulfil requirements for each region. The S series is said to have a new, modern design with a superior, ergonomic workstation, which offers optimum comfort to drivers. Not only have the design and key components been improved in line with customer requirements, but essential active safety systems and a new smart information system have also been included.

Rolf Eiten, President and CEO of Clark Europe says: "With the S series, operators will benefit from vehicles which excel thanks to their sturdy design and reliable, safe operation, even during heavy-duty use. They will also enjoy low operating and maintenance costs. Drivers can look forward to significantly greater comfort, which will ensure fatigue-free work throughout the entire shift. We have been able to significantly increase efficiency of forklift use as a result.”

The S series consists of S20-S35 LPG and diesel forklifts with superelastic or pneumatic tyres with a capacity between 2 and 3.5 tons and S20C-S32C compact LPG forklifts with cushion tyres and capacities between 2 and 3.2 tons, which are suited for use in confined spaces. The diesel version features an Isuzu engine (2.2L) with turbocharger, which complies with the Stage IIIb emission standard. 

The S series includes a newly developed information system with a 5 inch smart display and virtually maintenance-free wet disc brakes. Added brake cooling is available in the heavy-duty version on request. Other components are the nested upright rail with a 6-roller fork carriage, a speed limiter, and a load weight indicator.
