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.

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.

3000 / 3500 / 4000 / 5000 LBS.

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.

From the pool of applicants for the seventh round of the world-renowned award the jury will send 15 products and solutions from a dozen manufacturers into the race for the best products and solutions of the year.

The competition will soon enter its second round: The finalists have to undergo the IFOY audit at the international IFOY TEST DAYS at the beginning of March at the IFOY partner CeMAT’s exhibition grounds in Hannover (Germany). In the IFOY Test experts measure the key figures of the finalists in a standardized procedure. In the IFOY Innovation Check renowned scientist assess the innovation value of the nominated products and solutions. This is carried out by specialists from the Dortmund Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML), the Chair for Technical Logistics at the University of Dresden, the Chair for Materials Handling, Material Flow and Logistics (fml) at the Technical University of Munich and the Chair for Machine Elements and Technical Logistics at the Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg.

As a highlight of the IFOY TEST DAYS jurors from all over Europe, Australia, Brazil, Russia and the US will travel to Hannover to inspect and test the nominated equipment. Among other things the innovation value, technology, design, ergonomics and handling, safety, marketability and customer benefit as well as economy and sustainability will be evaluated. The jury consists of 29 renowned journalists from leading logistics media in 19 countries.

“A golden rule of the IFOY test series is: The finalists are not compared with each other in their respective categories but with their rival trucks or machines on the market. Only those nominees who outperform their direct competitors in terms of innovation have a chance of winning the trophy,” explains Anita Würmser, chairwoman of the IFOY jury.

The trophies will be awarded on April 26 2019.

Forklift Tax Deductions Still in Play, But Time is Running Out

Section 179 Header

Under 2018 Section 179 rules, first-year bonus depreciation has been expanded to include used equipment bought and placed in service after September 27, 2017. The first-year bonus deduction for all qualified equipment also increased from 50 percent to 100 percent of its cost.

Another provision of the new tax law increased the maximum depreciation deduction on section 179 property from $500,000 to $1 million and increased the cap on the equipment purchases from $2 million to $2.5 million. Those changes took effect December 31, 2017, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Under section 179, equipment purchases are treated as an expense and deducted from income.

Both section 179 and bonus depreciation allow 100 percent write-off of the cost of used equipment in the first year. Both also stipulate the equipment must be put into use in the year the purchaser takes the deduction.

But remember, in order to take advantage of these significant tax savings for 2018, you MUST acquire your equipment and PLACE IT INTO SERVICE by midnight December 31, 2018. Learn more about Section 179 at www.section179.org.
