Clark S30L Specifications

Basic Information

The Clark S30L is a versatile, rider-seated forklift built to handle loads up to 3000 kg (6000 lb) with a 500 mm (20 in) load centre. As part of Clark's S-Series, it is powered by a 2.3 L to 2.5 L, 4-cylinder MMC-PSI or Ford LPG engine, delivering 52.4 kW (69.7 hp) at 2500 rpm and featuring ECU-controlled ignition timing for increased torque. The truck is recognised for its sturdy fully welded heavy gauge frame, reliable powertrain with transmission protection, and a focus on operator safety and efficiency with features like hydrostatic power steering, oil-cooled wet disc brakes, and clear-view masts with angled rollers.

Fitted with pneumatic tyres, it is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor improved surfaces, with optional dual rear tyres for added stability. With a laden travel speed of 19.5 km/h (12.1 mph) and a gradeability of 20-25 percent, it provides efficient performance in industrial settings. The Clark S30L incorporates advanced features including a full-flow filtration hydraulic system with power failure protection, 6-roller fork carriage with hook suspension, and various mast configurations up to Quad.
