Clark presents new S-Series Electric at LogiMAT

With the SE25-35 electric four-wheel forklift trucks with load capacities of 2.5 to 3.5 tonnes, Clark Europe is launching the first generation of electric forklift trucks that, like their IC engine counterparts, are characterised by the attributes Smart, Strong and Safe.

With their sporty performance, high safety standards and excellent ergonomics, the SE25-35 electric counterbalance trucks keep logistics processes moving, as required by industry, distribution and the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, without causing harmful emissions. The electric forklift trucks are designed for high handling performance with low operating costs over their entire life cycle, making them another highly efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to Clark’s IC engine-powered forklift trucks.

Smart – Flexible battery solution with reliable performance

With its advanced smart display with integrated reversing camera, active safety systems and extensive additional equipment, the SE25-35 series is ideal for intensive indoor and outdoor use. A particular highlight are the new lifting masts, which offer excellent mast visibility thanks to the double primary cylinders. In addition to a service-friendly and robust design, many clever ideas for improving operation and ergonomics have been incorporated into the design of the forklift trucks, such as the intuitive direction change integrated into the hydraulic levers or mini levers and the electric parking brake, which prevents the vehicle from unintentionally accelerating or rolling backwards.

Another highlight: operators have the option of changing the vehicle’s energy source and adapting the software accordingly without any major additional effort if the application requirements change. The operator can operate the forklift truck with the classic lead-acid battery or, if required, switch to the high-performance Clark lithium-ion technology, which is particularly effective in multi-shift applications. Thanks to this smart battery solution, the electric forklift trucks are predestined for almost all applications.

Strong – electric power for peak performance

The models in the SE25-35 series are equipped with two low-noise AC traction motors, each with 9.0 kW and 80-volt three-phase AC technology, which enable rapid acceleration and high thrust. The wear-free, powerful AC motors reach a top speed of up to 19 and 20 km/h respectively. Three individually programmable driving modes are available for energy-efficient utilisation of the truck. Wear-free regenerative braking with the engine brake and automatic speed reduction when cornering can also be set as required. Safe use on sloping terrain or ramps is guaranteed by the automatically engaging electric parking brake. This prevents the truck from unintentionally accelerating or rolling backwards and ensures that the operator always has the vehicle under control.

As you would expect from Clark, the S-Series Electric is also designed according to the Built to Last concept. This requires a solid construction with high-quality and durable components: In the S-Series Electric, this includes wet, maintenance-free multi-disc brakes, a durable and electronically protected gearbox, a stable, vibration-free steering axle, tried and tested lift masts from our own production with 6-roller fork carriage, a solid steering axle and the fully welded frames that are standard at Clark.

The maintenance-free multi-disc brakes with oil cooling, for example, also prove their worth on wet or dusty surfaces thanks to their powerful braking effect. The long maintenance intervals and low operating and maintenance costs should also be emphasised. In the event of maintenance, all relevant components are easily accessible for the service technician, minimising downtimes.
