The C50SL series from CLARK marks a further development in the reliable, durable
and powerful forklift s of the premium Gen2 series. Lower operating and maintenance
costs combined with a well-designed and ergonomic operators compartment are
what makes this forklift truly unique. The sturdy „Built to last“ upright and a robust
construction with no thin metal or plastic components means these forklifts are suitable
for use under even the toughest conditions.
Driver‘s cab
The driver accesses his ergonomically designed compartment via a large, low
positioned perforated non-slip metal step. A grab handle on the drivers side of entry
makes it easy to climb up and down. A full width rubber floor covering in the footwell
prevents slippage.
The adjustable steering column (30°) with two spoke steering wheel and an easy-toadjust, yet comfortable seat together with impressive leg room allow perfect adaptation
to any driver.
Automotive style foot pedals and fully directional hood mounted control levers with
international symbols avoid confusion for any operator
The operating data is displayed in real-time on the clear TFT LCD colour display.
A low front cowl and ingenious narrow profile arrangement of the chains and hoses on
the upright ensure a wide field of vision for the driver.
Easily accessible storage compartments and an ideally positioned automotive style
hand brake, set this driver‘s cab apart.
Engine, Transmission
The CLARK C40-55s forklifts with LPG or diesel power enable excellent acceleration
and high driving performance. These extremely robust modern engines are at the top
end of the performance class. A Kubota V3800T diesel engine with 92 HP at 2400
revolutions per minute is just as impressive as the LPG propelled GM V6 with 4.3
litres. Both engine versions are connected to a proven manual two-gear transmission.
To protect your investment, the temperature of the engine and transmission is
constantly monitored and in the event of design limits being exceeded the engine is
automatically switched off. Heavy Duty flexible coupling of the engine/transmission and
drive axle reduces vibrations and noises to a minimum.
All engines comply with EU directives ensuring low noise and exhaust emissions.
Brake system
Wet disc service brakes and an independent drum parking brake ensure a reliable
high level of safety. Power assisted service brakes ensure that the work is undertaken
in a relaxed and stress free manner with full focus on the task in hand. A stress free
comfortable operator, works always at his peak ensuring optimum productivity over the
complete shift.
Steering system
The hydrostatic power steering eliminates steering Kick-Back ,makes steering easy
and reaches full lock with just a few turns of the steering wheel. The steering axle has
pivotal bearings mounted in rubber steel elements. The spherical bearing mounted
short tie rods are adjustment free and guarantee precise and continuous driving in a
straight line. The double acting steer cylinder ensures precise and direct steering. The
axle kingpins are mounted in lubricated tapered roller bearings for long service life.
Hydraulic system
A full-flow reverse filter, filters the oil to the tank at each reverse flow. Rough particles
are filtered via a suction filter, thereby preventing them from entering the oil
circuit, ensuring a long service life for all hydraulic components. With 88 litres in the
C40/C45 and 100 litres in the C50/55, there is always enough hydraulic oil available
for the highest upright and all attachments.
A high-capacity pump provides adequate oil supply for the upright and the hydrostatic
steering. A priority distributor ensures steering priority in all conditions. Load handling
is controlled via a load sensitive-response and precise control valve. A safety valve
provides extra safety and prevents an uncontrolled lowering of the load at all times.
Upright
The clear-view uprights are available in Standard, Hilo and Triplex versions. The heavy
duty interlocked narrow profiles provide high strength even under the heaviest load.
Adjustable sealed canted(Angled) rollers minimize deflection particularly when handling
off-set loads.
The tilt cylinders are mounted in spherical bearings. This consequently extends the
service life of the complete cylinder by preventing premature leaks due to cylinder rod
deflection. An integral tilt-lock valve prevents unintentional tilting of the upright when
the power is off.
The heavy duty tapered forged forks with hook or shaft mounting are adjustable and
locked by individual pins.
An hydraulic dampening system reduces impacts and vibrations during the transition
between the individual lifting sections in raising and lowering, thus protecting the
products and extending service life. The sturdy 6-roller fork carriage with adjustable
side thrust rollers enhances the durability of this design, preventing carriage “Jamming”
when handling off-set loads.
