Following the launch of new electric low-lift pallet trucks, industrial truck specialist Clark is now bringing to market a completely new range of electric high-lift pallet trucks featuring state-of-the-art lithium-ion (Li-Ion) technology. Clark is represented in South Africa by Kempston Material Handling.
Six new models offer load capacities ranging from 1200 to 1600 kg for the transport of pallets, as well as storage and retrieval operations in industry, retail and logistics and can be tailored precisely to different customer requirements.
Five manoeuvrable walk-behind models are available, as well as a model variant with a fold-out driver’s platform for longer transport distances. For use on uneven surfaces or on ramps, Clark also offers the high-lift trucks with an initial lift function. This provides additional ground clearance and enables efficient double-deck transport for the simultaneous loading and transport of two loads.
For controlled access and protection against unauthorised use, a modern PIN code activation system is available as an option, depending on the model. All models in the new series are fitted with proportional lift as standard. This enables sensitive lifting and lowering of loads. This protects delicate goods and facilitates precise positioning at any lift height – particularly when positioning tall loads accurately between shelf beams.
The manoeuvrable BST12E high-lift truck, with a load capacity of 1200 kg, is an entry-level model ideal for light, occasional stacking and transport tasks. Thanks to its compact design and small turning radius, it can be manoeuvred safely even in confined spaces
The BST12 and BST12i walk-behind high-lift trucks are designed for daily use in warehouses, production facilities and goods distribution centres, and are ideal for precise work in confined spaces.
The robust WSE16 and WSE16i high-lift forklift models (pic above) are designed for demanding industrial applications and high handling capacity. These powerhouses offer fast work cycles, precise manoeuvrability and lift heights ranging from 2500 mm to 5600 mm.
As the flagship of the new series, the RSE16 electric high-lift truck, which has been specially developed for comfortable ride-on operation over longer transport distances. The RSE16 ensures a high level of operator comfort thanks to its optimally cushioned operator platform with a low step height of 175 mm, which effectively minimises vibrations and makes it easier to get on and off.
