Compact and powerful forklifts
Clark has redesigned the robust CGC series LPG forklift, which is said to be particularly well-suited for lifting heavy loads in confined spaces.
The cushion tyre forklifts range from 4.0 to 7.0 tons and have a very tight turning radius.
The models are designed for distribution, manufacturing and warehousing of all types including the paper and pulp industries, and are said to be suited for the toughest applications.
The trucks have hydrostatic power steering, and with only four turns, the operator can completely turn the truck. For comparison: The Clark C40 LPG 4.0 ton forklift with either super-elastic or pneumatic tyres has a turning radius of 2,843 mm, while the CGC70 7.0 ton forklift has a turning radius of 2,728 mm. This means that the CGC70 can lift 3 tons more with nearly the same turning radius. When it comes to the aisle width, the CGC70 with a width of 4,425 mm also tops the C40, which has an aisle width of 4,816 mm.
With its solid construction and stable mast design, there is a large residual load capacity at greater lift heights.
The CGC series was developed according to the Clark concept “Built to Last”. The one-piece vehicle frame consists of heavy-duty welded sectional steel sheets that protect the vehicle and driver against impact damage and aim to ensure the forklift has a long service life. The protective driver overhead guard protects against falling loads and gives the driver an excellent skyward view to safely move the load into and out of racking areas.
The trucks are driven by the PSI six-cylinder LPG (4.3 l) 82 kW rated engine. This is equipped with a regulated 3-way catalytic converter, which satisfies strict future exhaust emission controls effective from 2019.
