Clark CMP40D Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark CMP40D is a mid-to-heavy capacity diesel-powered pneumatic-tire forklift engineered for demanding industrial environments that require stable load handling, rugged traction capability, powerful engine performance, and simplified maintenance.

With a nominal lifting capacity of approximately 4,000 kg (8,800 lb), the CMP40D is designed for outdoor material-handling operations in lumber yards, metal fabrication facilities, construction-material depots, agricultural processing yards, manufacturing plants, ports, logistics terminals, and high-duty distribution operations.

The CMP40D integrates a reinforced welded-steel chassis, high-traction pneumatic tires, a durable diesel engine, and a powershift transmission optimized for consistent torque delivery. Operators benefit from clear sight lines, balanced weight distribution, a well-designed operator compartment, ergonomic control levers, and predictable hydrostatic steering performance.

Maintenance personnel appreciate the open engine access, straightforward hydraulic routing, durable brake systems, and logical component organization. The CMP40D is built for long service life with a focus on reliability, ease of service, and low total lifecycle cost.
