Clark offered the brand new Crossover sequence to the general public for the primary time at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. In response to the economic truck specialist, the Crossover fashions mix some great benefits of environmentally pleasant electrical forklift vans with the robustness of conventional diesel and LPG forklift vans.
The 2 new crossover sequence 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 vans. This has the benefit that the crossover electrical forklift vans not solely have the excessive floor clearance of IC vans, but additionally the correspondingly bigger and extra sturdy tires and larger legroom for the operator. This equips the autos completely for outside use – particularly on uneven terrain or bumps.
The crossover vans additionally obtain comparable values to combustion engines by way of driving velocity, working aisle width, turning radius and climbing potential.
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 know-how (Li-FePO4) additionally guarantee a strong drive with lengthy working instances and quick charging instances. 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 allows quick and versatile recharging anytime and wherever – indoors or open air.
The Raider sequence (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover phase. It affords operators an environmentally pleasant and strong different to forklift vans 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 velocity 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 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 sequence is provided with a contemporary 4.3-inch LCD color show that gives data on all vital driving parameters. Three driving modes can be found to adapt the driving traits to the appliance: H (Excessive), S (Customary) 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 features when the operator leaves the motive force’s seat. The truck can solely be moved when the operator is seated and in charge of the automobile.
To adapt the Raider to completely different functions, Clark affords, for instance, completely different driver’s seats, blue LED warning lights as a visible reversing warning, extra 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 response to Clark, the Renegade combines Li-ion know-how with a sturdy, 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 selection for functions in combined areas the place the main focus is on quiet work processes. The automobile achieves a sound strain stage on the driver’s ear of lower than 65 dB(A).
Due to its versatile security features and intensive choices, the S25-35XE may 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 automobile is often 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 comfy entry and exit. The hydraulic levers, ergonomically mounted subsequent to the motive 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 extra stress components 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 obtainable in varied languages. The driving traits, resembling acceleration and braking behaviour, may be individually tailored to the operator’s necessities through the 5-inch color show. When utilizing a reversing digicam, 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 non-compulsory load weight show can also be proven to the motive force through the Sensible Show, rising security throughout load dealing with.
The intensive non-compulsory gear of the Renegade sequence contains completely 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 path 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 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 vans are the proper resolution for firms that wish to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
