Clark introduced the brand new Crossover collection to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. In accordance with the commercial truck specialist, the Crossover fashions mix the benefits of environmentally pleasant electrical forklift vehicles with the robustness of conventional diesel and LPG forklift vehicles.
The 2 new crossover collection L25-35XE, often called Raider, and S25-35XE, often called Renegade, with load capacities of two.5 to three.5 tonnes are mounted on the Clark chassis of IC engine-powered forklift vehicles. This has the benefit that the crossover electrical forklift vehicles not solely have the excessive floor clearance of IC vehicles, but in addition the correspondingly bigger and extra strong tires and better legroom for the operator. This equips the autos completely for outside use – particularly on uneven terrain or bumps.
The crossover vehicles additionally obtain comparable values to combustion engines by way of driving velocity, working aisle width, turning radius and climbing means.
Due to water-protected parts, such because the IP54 safety (mud and splash-proof) of the drive and hydraulic motor, they can be utilized in damp working environments or open air in dangerous climate with none issues.
The highly effective emission-free lithium-ion batteries based mostly on lithium iron phosphate know-how (Li-FePO4) additionally guarantee a strong drive with lengthy working occasions and brief charging occasions. Totally different battery capacities and chargers can be found relying on the ability requirement, together with an onboard charger built-in into the automobile. This allows quick and versatile recharging anytime and anyplace – indoors or open air.
The Raider collection (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover section. It presents operators an environmentally pleasant and stable various to forklift vehicles with combustion engines. The autos are characterised by glorious all-round visibility, predictable dealing with and an ergonomic driver’s seat with beneficiant foot house.
The electrical drive ensures highly effective acceleration thanks to instantly obtainable most torque and optimum energy supply. The strong Raider reaches a most driving velocity of 19km/h.
Due to the all-round view of the load and the environment, protected operation is assured. The clever association of the controls reduces the bodily pressure on the driving force and permits simple operation with out pointless arm and shoulder actions. The absolutely suspended comfy seat absorbs shocks and vibrations on uneven floor. The ramp operate prevents unintentional acceleration or rolling backwards on ramps and inclines.
The Raider collection is supplied with a contemporary 4.3-inch LCD color show that gives info on all vital driving parameters. Three driving modes can be found to adapt the driving traits to the applying: H (Excessive), S (Normal) and E (Eco). For added security, the L25-35XE collection is supplied with the Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS mechanically switches off the hydraulic and drive capabilities when the operator leaves the driving force’s seat. The truck can solely be moved when the operator is seated and accountable for the automobile.
To adapt the Raider to completely different purposes, Clark presents, for instance, completely different driver’s seats, blue LED warning lights as a visible reversing warning, extra hydraulic capabilities for attachments, fork positioners with sideshift operate.
The Clark Renegade (S25-35XE) is designed for operators who need the advantages of the Clark S-Sequence. Constructed on the confirmed chassis of the S-Sequence IC engine-powered forklifts, the fashions, just like the S-Sequence Electrical, have an improved vary of security options, customisable choices and most consolation.
In accordance with Clark, the Renegade combines Li-ion know-how with a strong, ergonomically optimised automobile body and tried-and-tested carry masts from our personal manufacturing with 6-roller fork carriage. Its emission-free and low-noise operation makes the Renegade the perfect alternative for purposes in combined areas the place the main target is on quiet work processes. The automobile achieves a sound strain stage on the driver’s ear of lower than 65 dB(A).
Due to its versatile security capabilities and intensive choices, the S25-35XE will be flexibly tailored to the person necessities of a variety of industries and purposes. The entire ramp cease ensures protected use on ramps, for instance if the automobile is steadily used for truck loading. The roll-back safety prompts the automated parking brake and thus prevents the automobile from rolling backwards.
The ergonomic driver’s office presents most consolation. The slim steering column presents the operator beneficiant legroom, whereas the optimally positioned step ensures protected and comfy entry and exit. The hydraulic levers, ergonomically mounted subsequent to the driving force’s seat with built-in route change, allow intuitive and easy management. The operator enjoys glorious all-round visibility. All these options cut back extra stress components for the driving force and permit protected and environment friendly work.
The Renegade’s good show gives all vital driving parameters at a look. Amongst different issues, it exhibits the battery standing, error codes and working hours in a clearly structured method. The knowledge is on the market in numerous languages. The driving traits, corresponding to acceleration and braking behaviour, will be individually tailored to the operator’s necessities through the 5-inch color show. When utilizing a reversing digital camera, the picture is transmitted on to the color show that means the driving force at all times has an summary of the route and environment, even when reversing. The non-compulsory load weight show can also be proven to the driving force through the Sensible Show, rising security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive non-compulsory gear of the Renegade collection consists of completely different cabs corresponding to rain safety (metal roof), climate safety (metal roof and windshield), partial (metal roof, entrance and rear windshield) and full cabs, mini levers built-in within the armrest with route change or mechanical levers, blue LED warning lights as a visible reversing warning, reversing digital camera, load weight show, Clark VMS system, USB charging port for charging cell gadgets, attachments and extra security choices.
“We’re delighted to launch the Raider and Renegade crossover electrical forklift ranges, which not solely considerably enhance effectivity, but in addition guarantee environmentally pleasant and sustainable materials dealing with,” explains Thomas Bach, director R&D at Clark Europe. “The Raider and Renegade crossover electrical forklift vehicles are the proper answer for firms that need to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
