Clark S45SL Specifications
The Clark S45SL is an LPG-powered forklift that
delivers exceptional power, durability, and efficiency for heavy-duty
operations. Its core strength lies in the robust Kubota WG3800-L-E3C LPG engine,
a four-cylinder powerplant providing substantial torque and reliability for
continuous use. The engine meets EU Stage 5 emission regulations and
incorporates ECU-controlled map ignition for more torque and electronic
controlled engine speed.
Operator comfort and safety are prioritized through features like hydrostatic
power steering eliminating steering kick-back, an auto-engaging electric parking
brake with rollback protection on gradients and ramps, and maintenance-free wet
disc service brakes. The S45SL is designed for productive operation across
various applications with low operating costs.
This model is equipped with clear-view uprights available in Standard, Hi-lo,
and Triplex versions featuring double primary cylinders on Hi-lo and Triplex
uprights for very clear visibility. The hose roller is mounted separately on the
top of the chain roller for best visibility. It rolls on heavy-duty pneumatic
tires with standard front tire size 8.25x15-16 PR and rear tire size 7.00x12-14
PR.
Available with dual tyres on the drive axle to improve traction and stability
when cornering, particularly useful when transporting very wide loads. The
distance from the centre of the drive axle to the fork face is 22.2 in (563 mm),
supported by a wheelbase of 76.8 in (1,950 mm). The total service weight of the
truck is approximately 13,930 lb (6,357 kg). When fully laden, the axle load
distribution places 21,150 lb (9,591 kg) on the front axle and 2,790 lb (1,266
kg) on the rear axle. In an unladen state, the front axle load is 5,820 lb
(2,638 kg), and the rear axle load is 8,200 lb (3,720 kg).
The Clark S45SL is powered by the Kubota WG3800-L-E3C
LPG engine, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for LPG
operation. It is a four-cylinder, overhead valve engine with a total
displacement of 230 cu in (3.8 L). This engine produces a rated power of 85.3 hp
(63.6 kW) at 2,200 rpm.
The engine meets the exhaust emission
regulations within the EU (Euro emission stage 5) and features
ECU-controlled map ignition for more torque and electronic controlled
engine speed. Lubrication is provided by a pressure-fed system ensuring
all moving components are adequately lubricated. Cooling is managed by a
liquid-cooled system designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures
even under continuous, demanding use.
The drivetrain of the S45SL is engineered for heavy
loads, precise control, and long-term durability.
Transmission: It is fitted with a single-speed, full-reversing Powershift
transaxle with high stall ratio industrial torque converter. The transmission
incorporates shift protection function to reduce the effects of gearshifts when
changing direction.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 11.2 mph (18.0 km/h)
and an unladen travel speed of 11.6 mph (18.7 km/h).
Axles: The drive axle is located at the front. The rear steer axle is robust
with pivotal bearings in mounted rubber steel mounting.
Brakes: The service brake system utilizes maintenance-free wet disc brakes
requiring up to 50 percent less effort, providing strong braking effect even in
wet or dusty environments. The brakes are power-assisted for easier operation
with more effect. An auto-engaging electric parking brake with rollback
protection on gradients and ramps prevents unintentional rolling away or back;
when the operator leaves the parked forklift, the parking brake is activated
automatically, and driving against the brake is not possible when activated.
The electrical system is engineered to reliably support
the engine, safety features, and lighting. It operates on a standard 12-volt
architecture. The interactive 5-inch colour display can be password-protected,
allowing only authorized users to change truck settings.
The on-board diagnostics allow operators to
remain informed of service needs and address any issues quickly and
efficiently. The display includes truck monitoring functions, various
hour meters, and warning indicators. The powertrain protection
monitoring system helps safeguard the truck against overheating.
The chassis provides a rigid and durable foundation,
constructed from heavy-gauge steel with fully welded frame construction to
support all major components under heavy load stress. The S-Series is
characterized by a robust ergonomic design and is built to last.
Wheels and Tires: The S45SL is fitted with heavy-duty pneumatic tires. Available
with dual tyres on the drive axle to improve traction and stability when
cornering, particularly useful when transporting very wide loads.
Front: 8.25 x 15 - 16 PR
Rear: 7.00 x 12 - 14 PR
Track Width:
Front: 45.1 in (1,145 mm) standard, up to 51.7 in (1,314 mm) with dual tyres
Rear: 44.6 in (1,134 mm)
Drive Configuration: The vehicle utilizes a 2-wheel drive configuration, with
the two front wheels serving as the driven wheels.
The steering system on the Clark S45SL is a hydrostatic power steering system
that eliminates steering kick-back. This provides the operator with
exceptionally smooth and effortless control during low-speed maneuvering and in
confined spaces. The steering axle is stable, vibration-free mounted with
pivotal bearings in mounted rubber steel mounting.
The hydraulic system is responsible for powering the
lifting, tilting, and any auxiliary functions. It utilizes a full-flow reverse
filter which filters the oil to the tank at each reverse flow. Rough particles
are filtered directly via a suction filter, thereby preventing them from
entering the oil circuit, ensuring a long service life for all hydraulic
components. A high-capacity pump provides adequate oil supply for the upright
and the hydrostatic steering.
The system operating pressure for attachments is up to 2,030 psi (140 bar). The
main hydraulic pump has a rated flow of up to 9.2 gpm (35 L/min) for
attachments. Load handling is controlled via a load sensitive-response and
precise control valve. A safety valve provides extra safety and prevents an
uncontrolled lowering of the load at all times. The mast tilts forward by 8
degrees and backward by 10 degrees.
The standard mast configuration is available as a
2-stage or 3-stage, clear-view upright design depending on application
requirements. Very clear visibility is achieved through the upright thanks to
double primary cylinders on all uprights with free lift. The hose roller is
mounted separately on the top of the chain roller for best visibility. The mast
features nested profiles, robust 6-roller fork carriage with adjustable side
rollers for durability. The tilt cylinders are mounted in spherical bearings.
Mast Height (Lowered): 88.0 in (2,234 mm). Free Lift: 6.1 in (156 mm). This
feature allows for lifting loads at low heights without increasing the overall
mast height, a valuable function when entering trailers or working under
low-clearance structures. Maximum Fork Height: 130 in (3,300 mm). Mast Height
(Extended) (with LBR): 179.2 in (4,552 mm).
