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 the 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 better legroom for the operator. This equips the autos completely for out of doors use – particularly on uneven terrain or bumps.
The crossover vans additionally obtain comparable values to combustion engines when it comes to driving velocity, working aisle width, turning radius and climbing potential.
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 open air in dangerous climate with none issues.
The highly effective emission-free lithium-ion batteries based mostly on lithium iron phosphate expertise (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 facility requirement, together with an onboard charger built-in into the automobile. This permits quick and versatile recharging anytime and wherever – indoors or open air.
The Raider sequence (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover phase. It gives operators an environmentally pleasant and strong various to forklift vans with combustion engines. The autos 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 right away out there most torque and optimum energy supply. The sturdy Raider reaches a most driving velocity of 19km/h.
Because of 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 motive 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 supplied 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 applying: H (Excessive), S (Commonplace) and E (Eco). For added security, the L25-35XE sequence is supplied with the Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS routinely 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 command of the automobile.
To adapt the Raider to completely different functions, Clark gives, 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-Sequence. Constructed on the confirmed chassis of the S-Sequence IC engine-powered forklifts, the fashions, just like the S-Sequence Electrical, have an improved vary of security options, customisable choices and most consolation.
In response to Clark, the Renegade combines Li-ion expertise with a strong, 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 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).
Because of its versatile security features and in depth choices, the S25-35XE might be flexibly tailored to the person necessities of a variety of industries and functions. The whole ramp cease ensures protected 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 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 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 elements for the motive force and permit protected and environment friendly work.
The Renegade’s good show gives all vital driving parameters at a look. Amongst different issues, it exhibits the battery standing, error codes and working hours in a clearly structured method. The data is out there in varied languages. The driving traits, similar 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 which means the motive force all the time has an outline of the route and environment, even when reversing. The elective load weight show can also be proven to the motive force through the Good Show, rising security throughout load dealing with.
The in depth elective gear of the Renegade sequence consists of completely different cabs similar 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 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 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 answer for corporations that wish to stay aggressive in an ever-changing logistics world.”
