Clark offered the brand new Crossover collection to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. Based on the commercial truck specialist, the Crossover fashions mix some great benefits of environmentally pleasant electrical forklift vehicles with the robustness of conventional diesel and LPG forklift vehicles.
The 2 new crossover collection L25-35XE, generally known as Raider, and S25-35XE, generally known 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 sturdy tires and higher legroom for the operator. This equips the automobiles completely for out of doors 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 capacity.
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 outside in dangerous 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 strong drive with lengthy working occasions and quick 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 automobile. This permits quick and versatile recharging anytime and anyplace – indoors or outside.
The Raider collection (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover phase. It affords 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 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, secure operation is assured. The clever association of the controls reduces the bodily pressure on the motive force and permits straightforward operation with out pointless arm and shoulder actions. The totally suspended snug seat absorbs shocks and vibrations on uneven floor. The ramp operate prevents unintentional acceleration or rolling backwards on ramps and inclines.
The Raider collection is supplied 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 appliance: H (Excessive), S (Customary) and E (Eco). For extra security, the L25-35XE collection is supplied with the Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS mechanically switches off the hydraulic and drive features when the operator leaves the motive force’s seat. The truck can solely be moved when the operator is seated and accountable for the automobile.
To adapt the Raider to completely different purposes, 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 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 sturdy, ergonomically optimised automobile 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 best alternative for purposes in combined areas the place the main target is on quiet work processes. The automobile achieves a sound strain 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 purposes. The entire ramp cease ensures secure 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 affords most consolation. The slim steering column affords the operator beneficiant legroom, whereas the optimally positioned step ensures secure and cozy entry and exit. The hydraulic levers, ergonomically mounted subsequent to the motive force’s seat with built-in route change, allow intuitive and easy management. The operator enjoys wonderful all-round visibility. All these options cut back further stress components for the motive force and permit secure and environment friendly work.
The Renegade’s good show supplies all necessary driving parameters at a look. Amongst different issues, it reveals the battery standing, error codes and working hours in a clearly structured method. The knowledge is on the market in numerous languages. The driving traits, corresponding to acceleration and braking behaviour, could 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 that means the motive force all the time has an summary of the route and environment, even when reversing. The non-obligatory load weight show can be proven to the motive force by way of the Sensible Show, growing security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive non-obligatory gear of the Renegade collection consists of completely different cabs corresponding 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 route 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 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 proper resolution for firms that need to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
