Clark CGP40 Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark CGP40 is a mid-to-high capacity pneumatic-tire internal-combustion forklift engineered for industrial operations requiring dependable outdoor performance, strong lifting capability, and rugged mechanical durability.

With a nominal lifting capacity of approximately 4,000 kg (8,800 lb), the CGP40 is well suited for lumber processing facilities, steel fabrication operations, construction-material yards, agricultural processing depots, manufacturing plants, freight terminals, and general industrial sectors requiring reliable mid-heavy lifting in mixed terrain environments.

The CGP40 integrates a high-traction pneumatic-tire chassis, a reinforced mast structure, durable industrial internal-combustion engines, and a powershift transmission designed for repetitive direction changes and high-load cycles. Operators benefit from an ergonomic cabin layout with clear mast visibility, balanced steering, stable load behavior, and minimized vibration transmission.

Maintenance personnel value the straightforward engine access, simplified hydraulic routing, protected hose pathways, durable drivetrain, and minimal electronic complexity. The forklift is engineered to deliver stable load handling, consistent outdoor traction, reliable performance under harsh environmental conditions, and long operational service life with proper maintenance.
