Clark CMP25L Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark CMP25L is a mid-capacity LPG-powered pneumatic-tire forklift engineered for mixed indoor-outdoor industrial operations requiring dependable performance, efficient fuel consumption, excellent maneuverability, and simplified servicing. With a nominal lifting capacity of approximately 2,500 kg (5,500 lb), the CMP25L is designed for warehousing, logistics centers, light-to-medium construction support, agricultural processing, manufacturing plants, distribution yards, and freight-handling operations.

As part of Clark’s CMP-series LPG forklifts, the CMP25L integrates a fuel-efficient internal-combustion powertrain, a reinforced steel chassis, balanced hydraulic performance, and a durable drivetrain suited for continuous cycles.

This model is known for smooth operator controls, low vibration, clean-burning LPG power, strong components, and accessibility that enables fast service intervals. Operators benefit from clear forward visibility, ergonomic hydraulic levers, a low step-in height, predictable steering feedback, and stable load handling.

Maintenance personnel appreciate the well-organized engine bay, the straightforward routing of hydraulic and electrical systems, industrial-grade filters, and reliable component designs. The CMP25L remains one of Clark’s widely deployed compact LPG pneumatic-tire trucks because of its stable performance, ruggedness, and low total cost of ownership.
