CLARK FUSION Battery – The Future of Forklift Power

Barry Material Handling News , ,

CLARK proudly offers a full line of electric forklifts that can be equipped with an aftermarket CLARK FUSION lithium-ion battery. With an operator-friendly BDI, customers can enjoy all of the benefits of a lithium-ion-powered lift truck, including longer service life, no maintenance, opportunity charging, and more! CLARK FUSION Lithium-Ion batteries can be ordered through the local CLARK dealer in addition to any CLARK electric forklift in the lineup.

CLARK FUSION Lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over lead-acid batteries, starting with their impressive efficiency and longevity. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries provide a higher energy density, which translates into longer operational hours between charges. This efficiency is particularly beneficial in high-demand environments where forklifts are in constant use, as it reduces downtime associated with frequent recharging. Additionally, lithium-ion batteries maintain consistent power output throughout their discharge cycle, ensuring that forklifts operate at full capacity until the battery is nearly depleted, unlike lead-acid batteries that experience a drop in performance as they discharge.

Maintenance-Free

CLARK FUSION Lithium-Ion batteries are low maintenance, requiring no watering or acid refills. Sealed, they reduce downtime, lower costs and boost operator safety, offering longer battery life without the risks of low water or acid levels.

Opportunity Charging

CLARK FUSION batteries offer opportunity charging, allowing operators to charge during breaks or downtime. Most models fully recharge in under 2 hours, reducing downtime and keeping your fleet moving efficiently.

High Energy Yield

CLARK FUSION batteries absorb 90%-95% of energy from the charger, making them more efficient and faster to charge than lead-acid batteries, which lose energy through the cable. Unlike lead-acid batteries that reduce power at 40% charge, lithium-ion batteries maintain consistent performance, all the way to the recharge point.

Decentralized Charging Points

Because lithium-ion batteries do not discharge harmful gasses or require watering during charging, a dedicated charging room is no longer required for safe charging. Simply plug the charger into any appropriate outlet and the lithium-battery can charge seamlessly. Reclaim precious floor space with CLARK FUSION lithium-ion batteries.

Double the Run Time of Lead Acid Batteries

CLARK FUSION batteries can be recharged without removal, keeping operator productive and eliminating the need to swap batteries mid-shift. With double the run time of lead-acid batteries, you’ll save on costs by using one battery per truck and improve safety by avoiding the risks associated with battery swapping.

No Battery Swapping Required

Lithium-ion batteries can be charged up to 3,500 charging cycles in normal applications, extending their lifespan by 3 to 40 times that of a standard lead-acid battery. The increase lifespan means fewer battery replacements and extends the life of your Built to Last forklift as well. For a durable and long-lasting way to power your truck, trust CLARK FUSION Lithium Ion Batteries.

Save Up to 70% Expenses in 5 Years

Reduce downtime, increase productivity and safety with CLARK FUSION batteries. To learn more about all the options available with the CLARK FUSION battery system, please contact us in Southern California at 800-322-5438.

CLARK SES15 – SES25, Stand-up, Counterbalance, Electric Forklift

Aisle space is often at a premium in today’s fast-paced environments, so efficiency and maneuverability are key. That’s why we’ve designed the 100% AC SES15-25 to be fast, energy-efficient, and cost-effective to operate without sacrificing performance. Despite its power, we’ve made sure the SES can easily navigate those narrow aisles and tight corners, ensuring that your operators can work seamlessly in confined spaces. Whether you’re managing a warehouse, distribution center, or cold storage facility, the SES is the ideal solution to enhance productivity and keep operations running smoothly—without compromising on space or efficiency.

Unmatched Comfort. Unrivaled Control

The SES is engineered for all-day efficiency, providing operators of all sizes with ample space to work comfortably. Its natural 90° stance positions the hands outboard of the body, allowing for effortless visibility in busy environments.

  • A synchronized armrest and joystick control adjust together, ensuring optimal hand and arm alignment at any height. The cupped armrest makes it easy to maintain a centered, ergonomic grip on the joystick for precise control.
  • For superior shock absorption, the SES features a floating floor with multiple isolators—minimizing fatigue and reducing the wear and tear seen in forklifts that rely on a single shock-absorbing cylinder. A recessed footrest allows operators to adjust their stance freely for added comfort.
  • Designed with convenience in mind, the SES includes built-in storage trays, a phone holder, a cupholder, and a spring-loaded clipboard, keeping essentials within easy reach.
  • Whether navigating demanding tasks or spending hours on the job, the SES delivers an ergonomic advantage that enhances comfort, boosts productivity, and keeps operators performing at their best.

Precision Control, Effortless Operation

The intuitive joystick control simplifies operation, allowing seamless tilting, lifting, and lowering—with the ability to perform two functions simultaneously for enhanced productivity. Its ergonomic 2-way contoured shape naturally fits the hand, ensuring all-day comfort and reducing strain.

  • Advanced electric steering provides just the right amount of assist at any speed, delivering a firm, responsive feel for precise tracking and confident maneuvering.
  • For superior visibility, the sloped front angle and patented nested I-beam mast design offer an unobstructed downward and forward view, improving safety and awareness in high-traffic workspaces.
  • The SES is engineered for efficiency, precision, and operator comfort—because better control means better performance.

Smart Dash: Intelligent Monitoring at Your Fingertips

The 5-inch color LCD display puts critical safety, efficiency, and performance insights front and center while protecting your truck from unnecessary wear and tear.

  • Customize your truck with programmable travel speed limits, turtle mode speeds, operator access codes, and low battery alerts. Automatic dealer contact prompts help ensure swift issue resolution, minimizing downtime.
  • Smart Dash restricts shifting until the truck slows to a preset speed to prevent shift shock, protecting transmission components from premature wear.
  • Technicians benefit from real-time diagnostics displayed directly on the screen, eliminating the need to open service hatches or manually inspect components. Integrated with the CAN bus system, Smart Dash ensures seamless communication across all truck systems for reliable, data-driven performance.

Unmatched Strength, Stability, and Efficiency

The SES is built for durability and peak performance, delivering superior stability with patented, industry-leading nested I-beam masts engineered for greater strength than traditional C-channel designs.

  • With exceptional capacity retention, this forklift maintains more weight capacity at higher fork heights, eliminating the need for a higher-capacity truck and reducing overall investment costs. The 8-roller carriage—featuring six vertical rollers and two side thrust rollers—minimizes mast wobble, giving operators the confidence to handle heavy loads efficiently.
  • The maintenance-free electric braking system reduces operating costs with no service requirements, no brake pads to replace, and no risk of oil leaks. Its energy-efficient design extends battery runtime and lowers energy costs.
  • Designed for reliability, the SES features a fully welded frame, providing exceptional durability compared to competitor bolt-together designs. For easy servicing, the front cover opens for quick access to wiring, fuses, and controllers, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance.
  • Backed by an industry-leading full warranty of 2 years or 4,000 hours, the SES is engineered to deliver strength, stability, and efficiency you can trust—every shift, every day.
