If you manage a warehouse or distribution center, you know even small productivity gains can increase profits and give you a competitive edge. When you're ready to invest in new material handling equipment and take your productivity to the next level, here’s what we recommend:

Boost Productivity in Your Warehouse or Distribution Center

Whether you have a wee warehouse in Wenatchee or a big daddy distribution center in Kent, the Clark equipment below will help you boost efficiency and productivity.

Sit-Down Forklift: Clark GEX 20/25/30

Clark GEX Sit-Down Forklift

Clark's electric pneumatic forklift GEX is a go-anywhere indoor-outdoor forklift. Its solid pneumatic tires work well in wet environments, and the zero turning radius allows the GEX to maneuver in narrow aisles and other places other forklifts can't. Check out this video clip.

Clark GEX Forklift Specs

  • 4000 / 5000 / 6000 / 6500 lb capacity
  • 80-Volt 100% enclosed, brushless AC motor
  • Same motor for E and EE-rated applications
  • Zero-turn steer axle and dual-reversing drive motors
  • Inside wheel power reverses in tight turns to prevent scuffing
  • Pneumatic tires for wet or uneven terrain
  • Thermal and stall protection 
  • Regen, wet disc brakes

Why it’s great for distribution and warehouse applications:
The GEX’s 80-volt 100% AC motor provides travel speeds you’d expect from an internal combustion engine - up to 9.7 mph loaded, 10.3 mph unloaded. In an industry where speed and efficiency are a competitive advantage, Clark’s GEX is a triple win. You get:

  • Minimal downtime - electric forklifts require less maintenance
  • Indoor/outdoor capability - with the GEX’s solid pneumatic tires
  • Low cost of ownership - electric forklifts have fewer parts to replace

Order Picker: Clark OSX15/20

Clark OSX Order Picker

Clark’s OSX order picker has some of the best standard features in its class and provides quiet, responsive, low-effort operation. Eight rail rollers and four side thrust rollers maximize weight distribution and reduce free play. Exacting controls allow the operator to easily maneuver the platform exactly where they need it.

Clark OSX Order Picker Specs:

  • 100% AC Electric 24 or 36-Volt
  • 3000 lb. capacity
  • LCD dash display w/ drive wheel direction indicator 
  • Advanced on-board diagnostics
  • Electronic power steering with auto centering
  • Secure grab point - to increase operator confidence

Why it’s great for distribution and warehouse applications:
The wide range pallet clamp easily accommodates different pallet stringer widths - up to 5” wide. Electronic power steering with auto centering make the OSX easy to maneuver and articulating load wheels ensure it never loses contact with the floor, even when traveling over cracks or expansion joints.

Stand Up Forklift: Reach Truck Clark NPX

Clark NPX Stand Up Forklift

Clark’s NPX narrow aisle stand-up forklift combines excellent visibility and high-speed operation with superior operator comfort and control. It’s also reliable and easy to maintain. 

The video above highlights many features of the Clark NPX. Here are a few additional specs.

Clark NPX 15/17/20/22 Specs

  • Electric 24 or 36-Volt
  • 3000 / 3500 / 4000 / 4500 lb. capacity
  • Heavy-duty drive and hydraulic motors
  • Fully-enclosed 100% AC motors and controllers
  • Electro-mechanical brake
  • Electronic, speed-sensitive power steering
  • High-efficiency hydraulic system
  • Heavy-duty battery rollers
  • Battery retainers

Why it’s great for distribution and warehouse applications:
The NPX is a reliable machine that doesn’t cost a lot to maintain. It’s also designed with operator productivity in mind. For example, the cylinder and hose routing provides an open field of vision, and the silent-staging upright reduces shock and vibration.

Another big selling point is the true multi-function control with integrated mini thumbstick. It allows simultaneous operation of travel, lift or lower and one additional hydraulic function.

Walkie Pallet Stacker: Clark HWXE 30/40

Clark HWXE Walkie Pallet Stackers

Whether you call it a pallet rider or a walkie pallet stacker, Clark’s HWXE is a durable, dependable piece of equipment. It’s extremely low-maintenance, there are no routine brush changes, and you don’t have to pull the motor to turn and undercut the commutator.

Clark HWXE Walkie Rider Specs

  • Electric 24-volt
  • 6000 / 8000 lb. capacity
  • 3-way regenerative braking
  • Spring-loaded stability casters maintain contact on uneven surfaces
  • Fully-enclosed AC drive motor/control
  • Keeps out dust and contaminants
  • Wet environment? Not a problem
  • Well-suited for food processing
  • Quiet, low maintenance operation

Why it’s great for distribution and warehouse applications:
In a word - rugged. Clark’s HWXE is designed with heavy-duty ball bearings to endure high shock, and it has advanced thermal protection to prevent heat damage to the motor and control. Adjustable pull rods allow you to maintain proper fork height over time, and entry/exit rollers and tapered forks improve material handling efficiency.
