Clark C liquefied gas truck c 40-45-50-55 s l

High durability and high performance in demanding applications

This series of trucks, the GEN2 C40-55s, is specifically designed to tackle any task. It achieves maximum engine, transmission and axle cooling in the harshest environments and most demanding applications thanks to the built-in open core radiator and finned plates.

Parking brake

To enhance machine safety, several mechanisms have been implemented to create a stable environment for the operator. The brake must be operated with a hand lever and the transmission disengages when the parking brake is engaged to prevent a locked brake run.

Oil-immersed disc brakes

Including sealed and oil-cooled for smooth, quiet operation and minimal wear for long service life. Maintenance is also greatly reduced due to less downtime. The truck is also designed with brake assist, which means that the pedal will require little effort from the operator when braking, reducing worker fatigue.

The power that moves the machine

The engine powering the machine is a GM V-6 4.3 l LPG engine, which allows for smooth and quiet operation. There is also the optional Euro stage 4 LPG version complete with 3-way muffler.

A feature of the engine is the automatic shutdown. This means it protects your investment in case of low engine oil pressure, excess engine coolant or high transmission oil temperature.

The engines comply with European exhaust and particulate emission regulations according to CE conformity.

Ease of maintenance

In addition, this model has easy access for maintenance, as the hood lifts up on both sides of the engine and the floor panel can be removed for access to hydraulic and transmission components.

Mast and chassis

Robust construction

With an I-profile mast and rails that are 55% more robust in design than conventional flat rails, better resistance to lateral deflection and longer machine life is achieved, as well as improved stability under high loads.

With the hydraulic dampening valves incorporated in the truck, a quiet sequential operation is achieved, reducing jolts and vibrations.

Included on the chassis are 6 load rollers and 4 side push rollers that together maximize load distribution and reduce backlash.

Steering axle

To prevent contamination and extend service life, the steering kingpin bearings are tapered and greaseable. Also, the connecting pivots have a double-shear design to withstand impacts without loosening or breaking.

One-piece frame

The vehicle is protected against impact damage, extending the life of the machine thanks to the high-strength, welded and formed steel plate design.

Hydraulic system

• To harness maximum power, this model uses a load-sensing flow control valve for steering to reduce power loss and heat build-up.
• Optimal attachment performance: The main hydraulic valve incorporates adjustable flow controls for tilt and auxiliary functions.
• Thanks to its sectional design, it allows for easy incorporation of additional functions, as well as simplifying maintenance.
• With its mast-mounted load lowering valve, this truck achieves controlled lowering independent of engine speed.

Operator's cab

• The CLARK safety seat has a 15 cm longitudinal adjustment, molded for greater support and retractable seat belt to make weight adjustment and full suspension available much easier.
• Operator presence sensing system (optional): when the operator leaves his seat, the hydraulic and transmission functions are deactivated.
• Thanks to the thick molded mat, vibration and noise levels are reduced and operator comfort is improved.
• The hydraulic controls on the hood are located in a specially sized area for ease of use and ergonomics.
• Visibility of the fork and load is greatly increased due to the low front end design.
• The tilt steering column can be adjusted to suit the operator for easy entry/exit.
