CLARK fork positioners have a separate sideshift and are available in different frame widths.
-
Dual or twin tyres
The S-Series can be equipped with dual tyres on the drive axle to improve traction and stability when cornering.
This is particularly useful when transporting very wide loads. Depending on the condition of the ground, dual tyres can also be advantageous for outdoor use in winter.
-
CLARK VMS System (Vertical Mast System)
By activating this function, the tilting process of the mast stops automatically in the vertical position when tilting forward or backward.
This function can be used with the mechanical hydraulic levers as well as with mini levers.

Highlights
Powerful Kubota engine
Powerful acceleration and reliable operation are ensured by high-performance engines from Kubota. The trucks are available in diesel or LPG version.
Ergonomic driver’s seat with plenty of legroom
The ergonomic driver’s workplace offers operators plenty of headroom and legroom. Intuitive controls and hydraulic power steering ensure intuitive operation and high safety during an application.
