Clark introduced the brand new Crossover collection to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. In line with the commercial truck specialist, the Crossover fashions mix the benefits of environmentally pleasant electrical forklift vans with the robustness of conventional diesel and LPG forklift vans.
The 2 new crossover collection L25-35XE, referred to as Raider, and S25-35XE, referred to as Renegade, with load capacities of two.5 to three.5 tonnes are mounted on the Clark chassis of IC engine-powered forklift vans. This has the benefit that the crossover electrical forklift vans not solely have the excessive floor clearance of IC vans, but additionally the correspondingly bigger and extra sturdy tires and larger legroom for the operator. This equips the autos completely for out of doors use – particularly on uneven terrain or bumps.
The crossover vans additionally obtain comparable values to combustion engines by way of driving pace, working aisle width, turning radius and climbing potential.
Because of water-protected elements, such because the IP54 safety (mud and splash-proof) of the drive and hydraulic motor, they can be utilized in damp working environments or open air in unhealthy climate with none issues.
The highly effective emission-free lithium-ion batteries primarily based on lithium iron phosphate know-how (Li-FePO4) additionally guarantee a robust drive with lengthy working occasions and brief charging occasions. Completely different battery capacities and chargers can be found relying on the facility requirement, together with an onboard charger built-in into the car. This allows quick and versatile recharging anytime and anyplace – indoors or open air.
The Raider collection (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover section. It affords operators an environmentally pleasant and stable different to forklift vans with combustion engines. The autos are characterised by wonderful all-round visibility, predictable dealing with and an ergonomic driver’s seat with beneficiant foot area.
The electrical drive ensures highly effective acceleration thanks to instantly out there most torque and optimum energy supply. The sturdy Raider reaches a most driving pace of 19km/h.
Because of the all-round view of the load and the environment, protected operation is assured. The clever association of the controls reduces the bodily pressure on the driving force and permits straightforward operation with out pointless arm and shoulder actions. The absolutely suspended comfy seat absorbs shocks and vibrations on uneven floor. The ramp perform prevents unintentional acceleration or rolling backwards on ramps and inclines.
The Raider collection is provided with a contemporary 4.3-inch LCD color show that gives data on all necessary driving parameters. Three using modes can be found to adapt the using traits to the applying: H (Excessive), S (Normal) and E (Eco). For extra security, the L25-35XE collection is provided with the Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS robotically switches off the hydraulic and drive features when the operator leaves the driving force’s seat. The truck can solely be moved when the operator is seated and in charge of the car.
To adapt the Raider to completely different functions, Clark affords, for instance, completely different driver’s seats, blue LED warning lights as a visible reversing warning, further hydraulic features for attachments, fork positioners with sideshift perform.
The Clark Renegade (S25-35XE) is designed for operators who need the advantages of the Clark S-Sequence. Constructed on the confirmed chassis of the S-Sequence IC engine-powered forklifts, the fashions, just like the S-Sequence Electrical, have an improved vary of security options, customisable choices and most consolation.
In line with Clark, the Renegade combines Li-ion know-how with a strong, ergonomically optimised car body and tried-and-tested raise masts from our personal manufacturing with 6-roller fork carriage. Its emission-free and low-noise operation makes the Renegade the best selection for functions in blended areas the place the main focus is on quiet work processes. The car achieves a sound stress degree on the driver’s ear of lower than 65 dB(A).
Because of its versatile security features and intensive choices, the S25-35XE could be flexibly tailored to the person necessities of a variety of industries and functions. The entire ramp cease ensures protected use on ramps, for instance if the car is steadily used for truck loading. The roll-back safety prompts the automated parking brake and thus prevents the car from rolling backwards.
The ergonomic driver’s office affords most consolation. The slim steering column affords the operator beneficiant legroom, whereas the optimally positioned step ensures protected and comfy entry and exit. The hydraulic levers, ergonomically mounted subsequent to the driving force’s seat with built-in course change, allow intuitive and easy management. The operator enjoys wonderful all-round visibility. All these options scale back further stress components for the driving force and permit protected and environment friendly work.
The Renegade’s sensible show offers all necessary driving parameters at a look. Amongst different issues, it exhibits the battery standing, error codes and working hours in a clearly structured method. The data is offered in numerous languages. The driving traits, resembling acceleration and braking behaviour, could be individually tailored to the operator’s necessities through the 5-inch color show. When utilizing a reversing digicam, the picture is transmitted on to the color show that means the driving force all the time has an outline of the route and environment, even when reversing. The optionally available load weight show can be proven to the driving force through the Sensible Show, rising security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive optionally available gear of the Renegade collection contains completely different cabs resembling rain safety (metal roof), climate safety (metal roof and windshield), partial (metal roof, entrance and rear windshield) and full cabs, mini levers built-in within the armrest with course change or mechanical levers, blue LED warning lights as a visible reversing warning, reversing digicam, load weight show, Clark VMS system, USB charging port for charging cellular gadgets, attachments and extra security choices.
“We’re delighted to launch the Raider and Renegade crossover electrical forklift ranges, which not solely considerably enhance effectivity, but additionally guarantee environmentally pleasant and sustainable materials dealing with,” explains Thomas Bach, director R&D at Clark Europe. “The Raider and Renegade crossover electrical forklift vans are the right resolution for corporations that wish to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
