Clark introduced the brand new Crossover sequence to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. In line with the economic 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 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 additionally the correspondingly bigger and extra sturdy tires and better legroom for the operator. This equips the autos completely for out of doors use – particularly on uneven terrain or bumps.
The crossover vehicles additionally obtain comparable values to combustion engines when it comes to driving pace, working aisle width, turning radius and climbing skill.
Because of 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 outside in unhealthy 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 quick charging instances. Completely different battery capacities and chargers can be found relying on the ability requirement, together with an onboard charger built-in into the car. This permits quick and versatile recharging anytime and wherever – indoors or outside.
The Raider sequence (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover phase. It presents operators an environmentally pleasant and strong different to forklift vehicles with combustion engines. The autos are characterised by glorious 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 obtainable 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 driving force and permits straightforward operation with out pointless arm and shoulder actions. The totally 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 provided with a contemporary 4.3-inch LCD color show that gives info on all vital driving parameters. Three using modes can be found to adapt the using traits to the appliance: H (Excessive), S (Normal) and E (Eco). For extra security, the L25-35XE sequence is provided with the Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS mechanically 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 functions, Clark presents, 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.
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 perfect alternative for functions in combined areas the place the main target is on quiet work processes. The car 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 secure 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 presents most consolation. The slim steering column presents the operator beneficiant legroom, whereas the optimally positioned step ensures secure and cozy entry and exit. The hydraulic levers, ergonomically mounted subsequent to the driving force’s seat with built-in path change, allow intuitive and easy management. The operator enjoys glorious all-round visibility. All these options scale back further stress elements for the driving force and permit secure and environment friendly work.
The Renegade’s sensible show gives all vital 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 offered in numerous languages. The driving traits, equivalent 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 that means the driving force all the time has an outline of the route and environment, even when reversing. The non-obligatory load weight show can be proven to the driving force by way of the Good Show, rising security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive non-obligatory tools of the Renegade sequence consists of totally different cabs equivalent 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 path 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 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 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 right answer for corporations that need to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
