Barry Company News, Material Handling News, Product Information , , ,

Building on the success of it’s S-Series internal combustion models, CLARK Material Handling will soon ad to the line-up it’s first S-Series Electric model.

The SE15-25T 3-Wheel model will complement the internal combustion models with many of the features that make the S-Series line-up SMART, STRONG and SAFE.

The SE15-25T, with capacities up to 5,000lbs. electric will be built at CLARK’s Lexington, KY manufacturing facility and a few of the advancements will include:

  • All-electric braking system with regen motor braking
  • Spacious operator compartment
  • Reduced-height overhead guard
  • Industry leading initial step height
  • Great right-angle stacking ability
  • The only OEM with a 5,000lb capacity electric three-wheel
  • Tall and short battery compartment options

CLARK’s new S-SERIES three-wheel electric lift truck extends their legacy with a SMART – STRONG – SAFE lift truck that meets the challenging and changing needs of customers. For use in manufacturing, warehousing, bottling and logistics – along with a variety of other instances – this new electric lift truck may soon become the workhorse you’ve been looking for. And while they are launching it the coming months and really can’t show it to you yet, that doesn’t mean you can’t be one of the first to hear about it! Follow this link and be among the first to get information on this great new truck!

Electric forklifts like the GEX are a rare breed. Many models are not engineered or equipped to work outdoors in the elements. Not the GEX! CLARK Material Handling’s GEX is built to perform indoors and outdoors, with capacities to handle the tough applications traditionally reserved for internal combustion models. GEX’s features include:

80 Volt, 100% AC Electric Power

  • HIGH PERFORMANCE – Rivals IC truck performance in speed, acceleration and gradeability
  • MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEM – Higher voltage = lower line loss & heating = greater efficiency
  • BETTER SUITED TO RAPID CHARGE – Only requires one receptacle via single battery connector
  • INCREASED BATTERY CAPACITY – GEX 20/25 can accommodate 54 kwh battery; GEX 30/32 can accommodate 60 kwh battery

Drive Motors and Axles

FEWER PARTS & MINIMUM WEAR = LESS DOWNTIME

  • Enclosed, brushless
  • Thermal and stall protection
  • Dual/powered reversing for tighter turns
  • Suitable for Wet Applications
  • Same motors for E & EE

Regenerative Braking/Wet Disc Brakes

THREE FORMS OF REGENERATIVE BRAKING

  • Accelerator release (Proportional to accelerator position)
  • Change of direction (Proportional to accelerator position)
  • Service brake (Foot brake)

WET DISC BRAKES

  • Enclosed and oil cooled for smooth, quiet operation
  • Built with long life lining material
  • Less downtime

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.
