Clark offered the brand new Crossover sequence to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. In keeping with 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 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 sturdy tires and better 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 when it comes to driving pace, working aisle width, turning radius and climbing capacity.
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 open air in dangerous climate with none issues.
The highly effective emission-free lithium-ion batteries primarily based on lithium iron phosphate expertise (Li-FePO4) additionally guarantee a robust drive with lengthy working occasions and brief charging occasions. Totally 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 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 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 out there most torque and optimum energy supply. The sturdy Raider reaches a most driving pace of 19km/h.
Due to 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 allows simple operation with out pointless arm and shoulder actions. The absolutely 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 sequence is supplied 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 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 answerable for the car.
To adapt the Raider to completely different functions, Clark presents, 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-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 keeping with Clark, the Renegade combines Li-ion expertise with a sturdy, ergonomically optimised car 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 selection for functions in blended 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).
Due to its versatile security features and intensive choices, the S25-35XE might be flexibly tailored to the person necessities of a variety of industries and functions. The whole ramp cease ensures secure use on ramps, for instance if the car is regularly 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 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 secure and environment friendly work.
The Renegade’s good show offers 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 data is offered in varied languages. The driving traits, corresponding to acceleration and braking behaviour, might be individually tailored to the operator’s necessities through 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 at all times has an outline of the route and environment, even when reversing. The non-obligatory load weight show can be proven to the motive force through the Sensible Show, rising security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive non-obligatory gear of the Renegade sequence contains 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 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 cellular units, 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 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.”
