Clark C25L Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark C25L is an LPG-powered forklift that delivers a compelling balance of power, efficiency, and versatility for general material handling operations. Its core strength lies in the proven Mitsubishi 4G64 engine, a four-cylinder powerplant providing dependable torque and reliability for continuous use. The machine rolls on pneumatic tires, offering excellent traction and shock absorption for uneven surfaces and outdoor terrain.

Operator control is facilitated through features like hydrostatic power steering and a fully-welded, heavy-gauge frame for stability. The C25L is equipped with a range of lifting systems including standard, Hilo, Triplex, and Quad configurations, designed for productive operation across various applications.

This model is equipped with clear-view uprights available in Standard, Hilo, Triplex, and Quad versions, featuring extra-wide masts, narrow center cylinders, and optimized mast design for excellent visibility. It rolls on pneumatic tires, offering excellent stability and traction for outdoor use. The distance from the centre of the drive axle to the fork face is 17.9 in (455 mm). The wheelbase is 63.8 in (1,620 mm).

The total service weight of the truck is 8,390 lb (3,805 kg). When fully laden, the axle load distribution places 12,350 lb (5,599 kg) on the front axle and 1,560 lb (706 kg) on the rear axle. In an unladen state, the front axle load 3,580 lb (1,625 kg), and the rear axle load 4,810 lb (2,180 kg). The overhead guard height is 85.2 in (2,165 mm). The seat height is 44.8 in (1,139 mm). The coupling height is 16.1 in (410 mm).

Engine Specs

The Clark C25L is powered by the Mitsubishi 4G64 LPG engine, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for industrial operation. It is a four-cylinder engine with overhead camshafts and a total displacement of 143 cu in (2,350 cc).

This engine produces a rated power of 74 hp (55 kW) at 2,600 rpm. ECU-controlled ignition timing provides increased torque. Lubrication is provided by a pressure-fed system ensuring all moving components are adequately lubricated. Cooling is managed by a liquid-cooled system designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures. An electronic tachometer is standard equipment.

Drive Train

The drivetrain of the C25L is engineered for precise control and long-term durability.
Transmission: It is fitted with a two-gear automatic transmission with gearbox oil cooling. The transmission type is designated as W.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 13.3 mph (21.4 km/h) and an unladen travel speed of 13.7 mph (22.0 km/h).
Axles: The drive axle is located at the front. The rear steer axle is robust with proven steer axle design.
Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic.

Electrical System

The electrical system is engineered to reliably support the engine, safety features, and lighting. It operates on a standard 12-volt architecture. The system powers the starter motor, engine control systems, and all essential lighting components for safe operation. Increased safety is provided through power failure protection to prevent uncontrolled lowering of loads.

Wheels and Tires

The chassis provides a rigid and durable foundation, constructed from heavy-gauge steel with fully welded frame construction to support all major components under load stress. Wheels and Tires: The C25L is fitted with pneumatic tires. Available with dual tyres on the drive axle to improve traction and stability.

Front: 7.00 x 12 - 14 PR
Rear: 6.00 x 9 - 10 PR

Track Width:
Front: 39.1 in (994 mm) standard, up to 42.3 in (1,074 mm) with dual tyres.
Rear: 35.6 in (904 mm)

Drive Configuration: The vehicle utilizes a 2-wheel drive configuration, with the two front wheels serving as the driven wheels.

Steering: The steering system on the Clark C25L is a hydrostatic power steering system that provides smooth and effortless control during low-speed maneuvering and in confined spaces. The double acting steer cylinder ensures precise and direct steering. A priority distributor in the hydraulic system ensures steering priority in all conditions.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is responsible for powering the lifting, tilting, and any auxiliary functions. It utilizes a full-flow reverse filter which filters the oil to the tank at each reverse flow. Rough particles are filtered directly via a suction filter, thereby preventing them from entering the oil circuit, ensuring a long service life for all hydraulic components. A high-capacity pump provides adequate oil supply for the upright and the hydrostatic steering. A large 12.4 gal (47 L) hydraulic oil tank allows the use of numerous attachments. The system operating pressure for attachments is up to 2,030 psi (140 bar). The hydraulic system capacity is 12.4 gal (47 L).

The main hydraulic pump has a rated flow of up to 9.2 gpm (35 L/min) for attachments. 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. The mast tilts forward by 8 degrees and backward by 10 degrees. Tilt cylinders are mounted in pendulum bearings with an integrated tilt lock valve that prevents excessively rapid or unintentional forward tilting of the lifting system.

Mast Data

The standard mast configuration is available as a 2-stage (Standard), Hilo, Triplex, or Quad upright design depending on application requirements. Excellent visibility is provided by extra-wide masts, narrow center cylinders, and optimized mast design. Angled mast rollers and a robust 6-roller fork carriage with hook suspension ensure durability.

Mast Height (Lowered): 85.2 in (2,165 mm). Free Lift: 4.3 in (110 mm). This feature allows for lifting loads at low heights without increasing the overall mast height, a valuable function when entering trailers or working under low-clearance structures. Maximum Fork Height: 130 in (3,300 mm). Mast Height (Extended) (with LBR): 153.5 in (3,900 mm).

Maintenance Data

Daily (8-10 hours) checks include visual inspection of the truck and its major components, checking for obvious damage and leaks, condition of tires and wheels, engine oil level, engine coolant level, transmission fluid level, hydraulic oil level, warning lights and hour meter, overhead guard condition and bolts, horn operation, steering operation, directional and speed controls, upright and lift chains, carriage and forks.

50-250 hours maintenance includes checking the tightening torque of critical fastening elements, greasing tilt cylinder bearings, greasing steering tie rods and steering knuckle, oiling lift chains, cleaning, checking and lubricating the upright inside rails, rollers and side loader, checking tension of lift chains, checking the air intake system for leaks, and replacing engine oil.

900 hours / yearly maintenance includes cleaning or replacing engine air filter, replacing hydraulic sump oil filter and hydraulic tank air breather, exchanging diaphragms, seals and valves in the LPG system, checking drive axle mounting and fasteners, replacing fuel filter element, checking valve clearance and setting if necessary, checking that crankcase ventilation is free, and replacing transmission oil and transmission oil filter.
