Clark launches new electric four-wheel forklift trucks

Clark has launched a new range of electric four-wheel forklift trucks. This is designed to compete with IC engine-powered forklifts not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of cost.

The EPXi's acquisition costs are on a par with those of a combustion engine. The electric forklift truck is therefore a quiet and environmentally friendly alternative for customers who have previously decided against an electric vehicle.

According to the company, electric forklift trucks are now at least as efficient in many areas of application that were once considered to be the domain of combustion engines alone. The vehicle should be equipped with exactly as much solid technology as is necessary for high turnover, ergonomic and safe use.

All-rounder for indoor and outdoor use

The counterbalance trucks in the EPX20i-32i series are available with load capacities from 2.0 to 3.2 tons. As environmentally friendly all-rounders, they are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, wherever high availability is required, such as in logistics. The electric forklifts have very good ground clearance thanks to their larger front wheels. This is particularly advantageous when operating on uneven floors, hall transitions or ramps. The EPXi is also a suitable solution in confined spaces thanks to its compact dimensions and optimum steering geometry.

A 15 kW traction motor ensures reliable operation. The 48 V three-phase AC technology ensures good acceleration and a high top speed of up to 18 km/h. Clark offers its customers two different battery capacities for 48 V batteries for the EPXi: The EPXi20i, 22i and 25i have a battery capacity of 650 Ah and the EXP30i and 32i have a battery capacity of 780 Ah. Accordingly, the smaller models have a wheelbase of 1,475 mm and the larger models have a wheelbase of 1,600 mm.

Two individually programmable operating modes enable adaptation to the respective application. The control unit with ZAPI AC3 inverter features MOSFET and CAN bus technology and is well protected against damage in the counterweight.
