Clark CGC25 Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark CGC25 is a compact, cushion-tire, internal-combustion forklift engineered for indoor warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, packaging operations, automotive production lines, and general industrial environments requiring refined maneuverability and strong mid-capacity lifting performance.

With a nominal load capacity of 2,268 kg (5,000 lb), the CGC25 provides a balance of power, turning agility, low-emission operation, ergonomic comfort, and long-term mechanical durability. Powered typically by an industrial LPG engine such as the Mitsubishi S4S, Mazda M4G, or GM/PSI 2.4/2.0L LPG engines (depending on production year and region), the CGC25 offers smooth throttle response, stable torque delivery, and clean combustion well-suited for indoor use.

Cushion tires provide reduced turning radius, improved aisle maneuvering, and smooth operation on concrete warehouse floors. The welded-steel chassis, reinforced mast structure, and balanced counterweight arrangement ensure stable lifting performance with excellent forward visibility.

Technicians appreciate the organized mechanical layout, protected routing of hydraulic lines, easily accessible filters, and long-life components. The CGC25 remains one of Clark’s most popular indoor cushion-tire models, delivering reliable performance, efficient energy use, strong serviceability, and proven long-term value in fleet operations.
