Forklift maker Clark has responded to its final shortlisting for the 2019 IFOY Awards, to be held later this Spring. The company said:

“The S-Series consists of the S20-35 diesel and LPG forklifts with superelastic or pneumatic tyres and the S20C-32C LPG forklifts with cushion tyres. The trucks are available with load capacities from 2 to 3.5 tonnes and are the first choice wherever high handling performance and availability are decisive  such as in tough multi-shift applications in industry, trade and distribution.

In addition to proven system components, the Clark S-Series for the first time uses active safety systems and a new smart information system. In addition, the driver’s workplace has been completely redesigned. Operators benefit from robust trucks in this series that guarantee reliable and safe operation even under the toughest operating conditions with low total cost of ownership (TCO). Drivers can look forward to significantly greater comfort, which ensures fatigue-free working throughout the entire shift. Clark’s aim is to increase safety and efficiency when using forklifts and at the same time reduce material handling costs while maintaining a very good price-performance ratio. The truck nominated for the IFOY Award is the S25 gas forklift of the S-Series 20-35 with a load capacity of 2.5 tonnes.”

 

The IFOY Awards will be judged in early March with the final to be held at Vienna’s Hofburg Palace in late April.

Toyota has added features to its BT Levio & BT Staxio pedestrian W-models, which it says offer even more fit for (un)loading, stacking and horizontal transport in confined areas.

The stackers can be equipped with low-noise hydraulics as option, for a lower noise level. This makes these trucks ideal for working in noise-sensitive and quiet environments such as supermarkets, shops and on-board lorries during night-time deliveries.

The BT Staxio W-series is now also available with a weight indicator that displays an estimation of the load weight on the forks. This prevents the lifting of too heavy loads, as well as overloading lorries, elevators and loading docks.

The BT Staxio SWE080L-140L stackers with initial lift can transport two pallet loads at the same time (one on the support arms and one on the forks), while the BT Staxio SWE200D is designed specifically for double stacking. The ability to transport two loads at the same time contributes to higher productivity.

The battery lid cover and motor cover of all BT Levio & Staxio W-models have been updated for improved robustness, aligning the design with the rest of the product family.

Both W-series can be equipped with speed reduction when cornering, making them ideal to handle tall and unstable loads. This improved stability prevents damages and injuries from happening, for enhanced safety in the workplace.

Lithium-ion battery power and Toyota telematics come as standard.
