Clark introduced the brand new Crossover collection to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. In response to the commercial truck specialist, the Crossover fashions mix the benefits of environmentally pleasant electrical forklift vehicles with the robustness of conventional diesel and LPG forklift vehicles.
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 vehicles. This has the benefit that the crossover electrical forklift vehicles not solely have the excessive floor clearance of IC vehicles, but additionally the correspondingly bigger and extra strong tires and larger legroom for the operator. This equips the autos completely for outside use – particularly on uneven terrain or bumps.
The crossover vehicles additionally obtain comparable values to combustion engines by way of driving pace, working aisle width, turning radius and climbing means.
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 outdoor in dangerous climate with none issues.
The highly effective emission-free lithium-ion batteries based mostly on lithium iron phosphate expertise (Li-FePO4) additionally guarantee a strong drive with lengthy working occasions and quick charging occasions. Totally different battery capacities and chargers can be found relying on the ability requirement, together with an onboard charger built-in into the automobile. This permits quick and versatile recharging anytime and anyplace – indoors or outdoor.
The Raider collection (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover phase. It gives operators an environmentally pleasant and stable various to forklift vehicles 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 right away accessible most torque and optimum energy supply. The strong 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 motive force and permits simple operation with out pointless arm and shoulder actions. The totally suspended snug 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 info 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 added security, the L25-35XE collection is provided with the Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS mechanically switches off the hydraulic and drive capabilities when the operator leaves the motive force’s seat. The truck can solely be moved when the operator is seated and answerable for the automobile.
To adapt the Raider to completely different functions, Clark gives, for instance, completely different driver’s seats, blue LED warning lights as a visible reversing warning, further hydraulic capabilities 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 response to Clark, the Renegade combines Li-ion expertise with a strong, ergonomically optimised automobile body and tried-and-tested elevate masts from our personal manufacturing with 6-roller fork carriage. Its emission-free and low-noise operation makes the Renegade the best alternative for functions in combined areas the place the main target is on quiet work processes. The automobile achieves a sound stress stage on the driver’s ear of lower than 65 dB(A).
Because of its versatile security capabilities and intensive choices, the S25-35XE might 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 automobile is incessantly used for truck loading. The roll-back safety prompts the automated parking brake and thus prevents the automobile from rolling backwards.
The ergonomic driver’s office gives most consolation. The slim steering column gives the operator beneficiant legroom, whereas the optimally positioned step ensures protected and cozy entry and exit. The hydraulic levers, ergonomically mounted subsequent to the motive 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 elements for the motive force and permit protected and environment friendly work.
The Renegade’s good 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 out there in numerous languages. The driving traits, similar to acceleration and braking behaviour, might be individually tailored to the operator’s necessities by way of the 5-inch color show. When utilizing a reversing digital camera, the picture is transmitted on to the color show which means the motive force at all times has an summary of the route and environment, even when reversing. The optionally available load weight show can also be proven to the motive force by way of the Sensible Show, growing security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive optionally available tools of the Renegade collection consists of completely different cabs similar to 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 digital camera, load weight show, Clark VMS system, USB charging port for charging cell units, attachments and extra security choices.
“We’re delighted to launch the Raider and Renegade crossover electrical forklift ranges, which not solely considerably improve 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 vehicles are the proper resolution for firms that need to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
