Barry Company News, New Forklifts , ,

Flower Mound, TX – April 1, 2026 – CLARK Material Handling Company, the brand that started it all, announces one of the most aggressive moves in modern material handling: a 5-year / 8,000-hour, carriage-to-counterweight warranty, included standard with every Class 1 electric forklift. See the line-up at our website.

This isn’t an incremental improvement—it’s a statement. It’s the boldest and most potent signal to the industry that it’s time to take another look at CLARK.

For over a century, CLARK has delivered the most durable lift trucks customers count on. Now, the company is reinforcing that legacy with a level of coverage that redefines confidence, reliability, and long-term value in electric material handling.

This milestone reflects CLARK’s continued commitment to durability, performance, and long-term customer value—and represents a renewed era for one of the most recognized names in industrial lift trucks.

“The Return of the Icon is here. CLARK delivers another first to the market,” said Brandon Bullard, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We’re backing every Class 1 electric forklift with a bold new 5-year warranty—carriage to counterweight—because our customers deserve absolute confidence in their equipment. Simply put, CLARK is BACK.”

CLARK’s lithium-powered forklifts already set the standard with zero emissions, whisper-quiet operation, and one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the industry. CLARK lift trucks are engineered for consistent uptime and long-term performance.

Now, with full 5-year coverage included standard, CLARK is eliminating doubt—and raising expectations.

For over a century, CLARK has delivered the durable lift trucks customers rely on every day. With this announcement, the company reinforces its leadership position while providing customers with unprecedented confidence in their electric fleet investments.

Businesses ready to switch to lithium power can now do so with greater confidence than ever, knowing their investment is protected for five full years.

SMART

The high-resolution interactive LCD dash display on the SEC20-3 allows operators to stay constantly informed about the truck’s performance. New ZAPI ACE3 controllers allow for advanced control and communication. Three selectable performance modes, along with a turtle mode feature, allows for greater flexibility and customization per application.

STRONG

With the SEC20-35, durability and reliability are never in question. With a capacity range up to 7,000 pounds—a CLARK first for electric four-wheel trucks—and key components designed to withstand full capacity, the SEC20-35 can tackle any challenge in its path. The rear-hinging hood provides durability and allows for easy service, and the thick, durable front fenders provide strength to the frame of the truck. The steel sump tank dissipates heat faster, prolonging hydraulic oil life, ensuring your SEC20-35 is Built to Last for years to come.

SAFE

Safety is a cornerstone of all CLARK products, and the SEC20-35 is no exception. The integrated Dampening Block Stability increases stability and durability in the lift truck. The standard Performance Enhancement Package utilizes a cutback switch on the mast, reducing tilt and travel speeds when the forks are fully loaded and lowered, improving operator and pedestrian safety. Additional optional safety equipment includes load weight indicator, seatbelt interlock, and more!

ADVANCED ERGONOMICS

The ergonomically designed operator compartment promotes greater operator comfort and efficiency, with a spacious floorboard, small steering wheel diameter, hood-mounted levers, cowl-mounted SMART dash, and comfortable full-suspension vinyl seat. The accelerator and brake pedals are also optimally positioned for smooth transitions, reducing operator fatigue.

SOLID AND VERSATILE

The welded heavy gauge frame provides lasting strength and consistency in the operation of the truck. A CLARK standard, the nested I-beam mast on the SEC20-35 was designed for longevity and stability, allowing for a true 7,000-pound capacity on the SEC35. Finally, all major components for the series were designed to withstand the full 7,000-pound capacity, ensuring that no matter which capacity you need, the components can tackle any job with ease.

CLARK SE20T, 4,000lb. 3-Wheel Electric Forklift

CLARK continues to drive the material handling industry forward by designing and developing lift truck solutions for just about every situation. Our new S-SERIES Three-Wheel Electric lift truck extends our legacy with a SMART – STRONG – SAFE lift truck that meets the challenging and changing needs of our customers. Once you’ve tried this next generation of lift truck, you’ll understand why CLARK forklifts are “Built to Last” and why our customers return to the brand time and again.

SMART

Advanced electric steering on the SE15-25T minimizes operator fatigue and increases efficiency. Powerful 36V and 48V batteries provide a higher battery output efficiency than ever before. The Zapi ACE-2 new generation of controllers allows the operator to have greater insight on life cycles. And, with 11 configurations availble, this truck is sure to fit your needs. 

STRONG

Today’s working environments demand a STRONG lift truck, and the SE15-25T provides reliable strength through several key design features. The full welded, heavy gauge frame provides a strong, stable base for the lift truck, while the all-new staggered nested I-beam upright provides the strength and reliability you count on when lifting heavy loads. With an integral side-shifting carriage, the SE15-25T retains all of its capacity to 188”.

SAFE

The ergonomically designed operator compartment promotes greater operator comfort and efficiency, as fatigued operators are more likely to make a costly mistake. The self-activating parking brake automatically engages when the operator leaves the seat, preventing the forklift from rolling forward or backward. The integrated speed-limit control when turning helps provide additional stability to the truck, and the optional rear-view camera displays crisply on the dash display, giving operators greater visibility when moving in reverse.

Features of the SE15T – SE25T 3-Wheel S-Series Electric Forklift

ADVANCED ERGONOMICS

Adjustable full-suspension seat, low step height with grab bar handle, and spacious operator compartment provide a more comfortable experience for the operator. The hood-mounted levers are perfectly positioned and ergonomically designed for ease of use. And, the adjustable steer column allows for greater flexibility for the operator.

SOLID AND VERSATILE

The staggered and nested I-Beam upright allows for a shorter right-angle stack to help reduce lost loads, and to increase strength, stability, and visibility. The SE15-25T also boasts one of the tightest turning radii in the industry for indoor and narrow aisle applications, allowing for greater flexibility in narrow aisles. Finally, the carriage and roller design helps keep forks level and reduces carriage twist, ensuring your SE15-25T will be Built to Last.

ADVANCED COMPONENTRY

The interactive Smart Dash allows operators to have greater control and understanding of the lift truck’s operation, with audible and visible warnings and password protection allowing operators to make changes directly on the dash. The SE15-25T also comes standard with three performance modes to accommodate your application: Economy, Standard, and Power mode. And, with direct integration with several pieces of optional equipment, the Smart Dash puts the control of your lift truck at your operators’ fingertips.

LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP

The fully enclosed drive, lift, and steer motors prevent dirt and debris from entering the engine, reducing downtime, and leading to lower maintenance costs and a higher ROI. The all-electric braking system has no brake pads to wear down or fluids to check or leak. The electric steering allows for less overall energy consumption, leading to longer battery life. And, the electro-mechanical parking brakes, drive motors, and drive axles can be serviced without removing the upright, allowing for quick service.
