Clark has expanded the GEX20-30L and GEX40-50 electric forklift series to include models with an 80 volt lithium-ion battery Li-Ion, which further extends the product range in the segment of electric counterbalance trucks with Li-Ion technology. The materials handling vehicles specialist offers operators a powerful and environmentally friendly alternative to IC engine-powered trucks in both the 48 V and 80 V electric segments with load capacities from 1.6 to 5 tonnes.
The four-wheel electric forklifts GEX20-30sL and GEX40-50 with 80V Li-Ion technology are available with load capacities from 2 to 5 t and are ideal for transporting heavy loads indoors and outdoors.
Two travel motors in the parallel front drive, each with 7.8kW power on the GEX20-30L and 11.3kW on the GEX 40-50, together with the 80V three-phase current technology, guarantee rapid acceleration and high thrust. The AC motors used are designed to be wear-free and very robust. They achieve a top speed of up to 18 or 20km.
The Clark Li-Ion solution provides the customer with everything from a single source, including the Li-Ion battery, battery management system (BMS), and high-frequency charger. The battery capacity for all 80V models in the GEX series is 560Ah.
The Li-Ion battery can be intermediately charged at any time and within a very short time, when breaks occur, without damaging the battery or shortening its service life. Approximately 6.25 % of the charge quantity can be achieved in 15 minutes.
