Clark GTS30D Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark GTS30D is a diesel-powered, counterbalanced forklift truck manufactured from approximately 2022 to 2025. This rider-seated model is engineered for demanding indoor and outdoor material handling tasks requiring a rated load capacity of 3000 kg. The machine is powered by the Yanmar 4TNE94L engine, a four-cylinder diesel unit with a displacement of 3.05 liters, meeting EU Stage IIIA emission regulations. The GTS series offers robust performance with a focus on durability and operator comfort.

The forklift includes the hydrostatic power steering that eliminates steering kick-back, making steering easy and reaching full lock with just a few turns of the steering wheel. The steering axle has pivotal bearings mounted in rubber steel elements, with spherical bearing mounted short tie rods that are adjustment free and guarantee precise and continuous driving in a straight line. The double acting steer cylinder ensures precise and direct steering.

The hydraulic system features a full-flow reverse filter that filters the oil to the tank at each reverse flow, with rough particles filtered directly via a suction filter, preventing them from entering the oil circuit and ensuring a long service life for all hydraulic components. A high-capacity pump provides adequate oil supply for the upright and the hydrostatic steering, with a priority distributor ensuring steering priority in all conditions. Load handling is controlled via a load sensitive-response and precise control valve, with a safety valve providing extra safety and preventing an uncontrolled lowering of the load at all times.

The Clark GTS30D is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 3000 kg or 6614 lb at a 500 mm or 19.7 in load centre. The nominal load at the centre of gravity is 3 t. Its design prioritises stability and manoeuvrability in demanding environments. The machine is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard, with a tyre configuration of 2x/2, indicating two wheels on the front drive axle and two wheels on the rear steer axle.

The transmission type is HY (hydrostatic). The service weight of the machine is 4270 kg or 9414 lb. Weight distribution with full load places 6340 kg or 13977 lb on the front axle and 930 kg or 2050 lb on the rear axle. Without load, weight distribution shifts to 1646 kg or 3629 lb on the front axle and 2624 kg or 5785 lb on the rear axle. The body and frame are constructed from robust steel for durability in tough operating conditions.

Engine Specs

Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the Yanmar 4TNE94L engine, a four-cylinder diesel unit meeting EU Stage IIIA emission standards. With a displacement of 3053 cc or 186 cu.in, this engine produces 34.3 kW or 46.0 hp of power at a rated speed of 2200 rpm. In other version, the forklift can equipped with HMC engine with 47.8 kW and 2.199 l displacement for different model years. The Yanmar engine is known for its durability and reliable performance in demanding applications. The maximum climbing ability is 25.2 percent.

Lubrication: The engine lubrication system is a forced-feed type, employing a gear pump to circulate oil throughout the engine block and cylinder head, ensuring all moving components are adequately lubricated for reduced friction and prolonged engine life. The system includes a full-flow oil filter to remove contaminants. The hydraulic system features a full-flow reverse filter that filters the oil to the tank at each reverse flow, with rough particles filtered directly via a suction filter, preventing them from entering the oil circuit and ensuring a long service life for all hydraulic components.

Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system. This system comprises a radiator, a water pump, a thermostat, and a cooling fan. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine jackets to absorb heat, which is then dissipated as it passes through the radiator core.

Drive Train

Transmission: The Clark GTS30D is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission (HY). This transmission type allows for smooth and efficient power delivery with infinite speed control, reducing operator fatigue during frequent shuttling. Some sources indicate torque converter transmission for specific model years.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 23.6 km/h or 14.7 mph and an unladen speed of 22.2 km/h or 13.8 mph.

Axles: The front axle is a rigid, drive axle that carries the majority of the load, while the rear axle is a robust steering axle with pivotal bearings in rubber steel mounting. The spherical bearing mounted short tie rods are adjustment free and guarantee precise and continuous driving in a straight line. The rear axle is designed to oscillate, allowing all wheels to maintain ground contact on uneven surfaces, which is crucial for stability. The wheelbase measures 1700 mm or 66.9 in. The tread width is 1029 mm or 40.5 in for the front, with alternatives of 1109 mm and 1204 mm, and 904 mm or 35.6 in for the rear.

Brakes: The service brake system is wet disc brake, providing reliable and controlled stopping power. The service brake is foot/hydraulic operated. The parking brake is mechanical, hand-operated, engaging mechanically to secure the machine when parked.

Electrical System

The electrical system operates on a 12V architecture. It includes a comprehensive wiring harness connecting all electrical components. The system encompasses a starter, an alternator to charge the battery while the engine runs. The dash-mounted instrument display provides gauges and warning indicators.

Wheels and Tires

Wheel Drive: The Clark GTS30D features a 2-wheel drive configuration, with the front wheels providing the tractive effort (2x driven wheels).

Wheels: The forklift uses a 2x/2 wheel configuration, meaning two wheels on the front axle and two on the rear. The front wheels are the driven wheels. The machine features a robust frame for enhanced durability.

Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard (type L). The tyre size for the front is 28 x 9 x 15 - 14 PR. The tyre size for the rear is 6.50 x 10 - 12 PR. Some units may be equipped with Super Elastic tyres. Optional configurations include dual or twin tyres on the drive axle with tread widths of 1109 mm and 1204 mm.

The steering system is hydrostatic power steering that eliminates steering kick-back, making manoeuvring the truck effortless for the operator and reaching full lock with just a few turns of the steering wheel. The steering axle has pivotal bearings mounted in rubber steel elements for stable, vibration-free operation. The spherical bearing mounted short tie rods are adjustment free and guarantee precise and continuous driving in a straight line. The double acting steer cylinder ensures precise and direct steering. A priority distributor ensures steering priority in all conditions.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is designed for efficient lifting and tilting operations with a high-capacity pump providing adequate oil supply for the upright and the hydrostatic steering. It operates at a maximum operating pressure for attachments of 140 bar or 2030 psi. The system pump delivers a rated flow of up to 35 L/min or 9.2 gpm for attachments.

A full-flow reverse filter filters the oil to the tank at each reverse flow, with rough particles filtered directly via a suction filter, preventing them from entering the oil circuit and ensuring a long service life for all hydraulic components. A priority distributor ensures steering priority in all conditions. Load handling is controlled via a load sensitive-response and precise control valve, with a safety valve providing extra safety and preventing an uncontrolled lowering of the load at all times.

Mast Data

The Clark GTS30D can be equipped with various mast types including standard, Hi-lo, Triplex, and Quad configurations. Specifications for a standard mast include a lowered height of 2180 mm or 85.8 in. The mast has a free lift of 110 mm or 4.3 in, allowing the forks to be raised to this height without increasing the mast's overall height. The standard lift height is 3195 mm or 125.8 in. Alternative configurations offer lift heights up to 4800 mm or 189 in for Triplex masts.

At full lift, the upright extends to a height of 4415 mm or 173.8 in with load backrest. The fork carriage is CLASS III according to DIN 15173. The fork carriage width is 1041 mm or 41.0 in, with alternatives of 1143 mm and 1549 mm. The load distance from the centreline of the front axle to the front face of forks is 460 mm or 18.1 in. The mast and fork carriage can tilt forward by 6 degrees and backward by 10 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.

Load Capacity
