Clark GPS25MB Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark GPS25MB is a mid-capacity pneumatic-tire internal-combustion forklift engineered for versatile material-handling operations across mixed indoor-outdoor industrial environments. With a nominal lifting capacity of 2,500 kg (5,500 lb), the GPS25MB occupies an important position in Clark’s pneumatic-tire lineup, offering a balance of lifting power, reliable driveline performance, and stable handling on uneven operating surfaces.

The pneumatic-tire configuration provides improved vibration damping, making the forklift well suited for cracked pavement, outdoor yards, partially unpaved surfaces, and transition zones between warehouse floors and industrial loading areas.

The machine incorporates a fully welded steel chassis with reinforced structural members, a high-visibility mast designed to minimize deflection under load, and a heavy-duty driveline optimized for repetitive lifting cycles. The operator station is engineered for ergonomic comfort and intuitive control placement, supporting reduced operator fatigue during extended shifts.

The GPS25MB is widely used in manufacturing plants, fabrication yards, construction material depots, freight terminals, and multi-surface industrial zones requiring predictable hydraulic response, consistent traction, and durable daily performance.
