Clark introduced the brand new Crossover sequence to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. Based on the economic 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 sequence 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 in addition the correspondingly bigger and extra strong tires and larger legroom for the operator. This equips the automobiles 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 capability.
Due to water-protected parts, 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 know-how (Li-FePO4) additionally guarantee a robust drive with lengthy working instances and brief charging instances. Totally different battery capacities and chargers can be found relying on the ability requirement, together with an onboard charger built-in into the car. This allows quick and versatile recharging anytime and wherever – indoors or outdoor.
The Raider sequence (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover phase. It gives operators an environmentally pleasant and strong different to forklift vehicles with combustion engines. The automobiles are characterised by wonderful all-round visibility, predictable dealing with and an ergonomic driver’s seat with beneficiant foot house.
The electrical drive ensures highly effective acceleration thanks to instantly accessible most torque and optimum energy supply. The strong Raider reaches a most driving pace of 19km/h.
Due to 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 allows simple operation with out pointless arm and shoulder actions. The absolutely suspended comfy seat absorbs shocks and vibrations on uneven floor. The ramp operate prevents unintentional acceleration or rolling backwards on ramps and inclines.
The Raider sequence is supplied with a contemporary 4.3-inch LCD color show that gives info on all necessary driving parameters. Three driving modes can be found to adapt the driving traits to the applying: H (Excessive), S (Customary) and E (Eco). For added security, the L25-35XE sequence is supplied with the Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS robotically switches off the hydraulic and drive capabilities when the operator leaves the driving force’s seat. The truck can solely be moved when the operator is seated and in command of the car.
To adapt the Raider to totally different purposes, Clark gives, for instance, totally different driver’s seats, blue LED warning lights as a visible reversing warning, further hydraulic capabilities for attachments, fork positioners with sideshift operate.
The Clark Renegade (S25-35XE) is designed for operators who need the advantages of the Clark S-Collection. Constructed on the confirmed chassis of the S-Collection IC engine-powered forklifts, the fashions, just like the S-Collection Electrical, have an improved vary of security options, customisable choices and most consolation.
Based on Clark, the Renegade combines Li-ion know-how with a strong, ergonomically optimised car body and tried-and-tested carry masts from our personal manufacturing with 6-roller fork carriage. Its emission-free and low-noise operation makes the Renegade the perfect alternative for purposes in combined areas the place the main focus is on quiet work processes. The car achieves a sound strain stage on the driver’s ear of lower than 65 dB(A).
Due to its versatile security capabilities and intensive choices, the S25-35XE might be flexibly tailored to the person necessities of a variety of industries and purposes. The entire ramp cease ensures protected use on ramps, for instance if the car is continuously 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 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 driving force’s seat with built-in route 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 good show supplies 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 knowledge is accessible in numerous languages. The driving traits, resembling 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 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 non-compulsory load weight show can also be proven to the driving force by way of the Good Show, rising security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive non-compulsory tools of the Renegade sequence contains totally 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 route 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 improve effectivity, but in addition 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 right resolution for firms that need to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
