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.

Four Reasons to Consider Electric Forklifts

Barry Material Handling Equipment, Productivity, Uncategorized , , , , , , ,

Slowly but surely, electric forklifts are carrying more of the daily material handling load. Some of the reasons are obvious, but it is clear to most that eventually we must do more than continue to burn fossil fuels in the transportation of our products.

We still have a ways to go before electric forklifts can perform all the tasks as well as their LP forklift counterparts. However, most forklift manufacturers are improving performance and outdoor durability with each passing year. It is only a matter of time before they catch up.  There a good reasons for this transfer of power, a few major reasons are:

  1. Reduced maintenance costs – Electric forklifts have fewer moving parts than their internal combustion counterparts. Fewer parts, means reduced maintenance, which results in a considerable reduction in maintenance.
  2. Greatly reduced environmental impact – Electric forklift do not burn fossil fuels, reducing carbon footprint. They also require no disposal of motor oils. The units stay cleaner as a result and so does your operation!
  3. Improved ergonomics and working environment – Electric forklifts are quieter with nearly no vibrations to deal with. This provides a more comfortable operating atmosphere for your forklift operators as well as the rest of the personnel that work around your lift trucks. Noise in your facility is reduced to almost zero when it comes to your lift trucks, making communications between employees easier.
  4. Supply chain trends to go green – Every year, more and more companies are encouraging if not outright requiring their suppliers to improve their impact on the environment and electric forklifts are one of the major steps that companies are taking to do so.

While we have some work to do, it’s pretty clear that electric forklifts are making great strides to become a mainstay in materials handling equipment. And right now with the introduction of Lithium Ion Batteries in our BYD Forklift line-up and Section 179 tax deductions, there has never been a better time to consider trading in your internal combustion forklifts for a smooth running, cost saving electric powered lift truck.
