Clark GPX20 Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark GPX20 is a compact pneumatic-tire internal-combustion forklift engineered for versatile outdoor and indoor material-handling operations requiring maneuverability, stable load control, and long-term reliability under demanding multi-shift conditions.

With a nominal rated lift capacity of 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) at a 610 mm (24 in) load center, the GPX20 occupies the lower mid-capacity class of pneumatic-tire Clark forklifts, optimized for industrial yards, dock operations, agricultural facilities, construction supply areas, and general commercial sites where both traction and comfort are needed on mixed surfaces. The pneumatic-tire configuration provides improved shock absorption, enhanced operator comfort, and better performance on gravel, asphalt, and uneven surfaces compared to cushion-tire models.

The GPX20 is offered with two industrial engine options: the Mitsubishi 2.6-liter LPG/Gasoline engine and the Continental TM27 2.7-liter LPG/Gasoline engine. Both powerplants deliver smooth torque output, low vibration, and reliable fuel performance across the typical operating ranges of material-handling tasks. The GPX20 incorporates a heavy-duty powershift transmission, cast-steel drive axle, hydrostatic steering system, and a high-visibility mast structure designed for precise load manipulation and long service intervals.

Reinforced frame construction, protected hydraulic routing, and operator-friendly controls contribute to dependable daily operation. Full-floating powertrain mounts minimize vibration transmitted to the operator compartment. The unit is built for ease of service with tool-accessible filter locations, simplified cooling components, and durable industrial fasteners.

Engine Specs

The Clark GPX20 is equipped with either the Mitsubishi 2.6-liter or Continental TM27 2.7-liter industrial engines. Both engines are designed for LPG or gasoline operation, supporting emissions-compliant industrial applications. They feature cast-iron architecture for long service life, conservative RPM limits, industrial-grade piston rings, heavy-duty bearings, and torque characteristics optimized for low-speed power delivery.
