Forklift Telematics for Any Make or Model | Clark SMART

#1 You like solving mysteries, such as:

How long has that dent been there?
Why didn’t the operators mention this truck needs service?
Where is my XYZ forklift?

#2 You Like Doing Things The Old Fashioned Way
Collecting data manually is time-consuming, and it doesn’t give you the full picture. A telematics system puts equipment data at your fingertips and delivers insights into driver behavior you can’t get any other way.

#3 Your Equipment Isn't Equipped with Telematic Devices
Clark’s SMART telematics can be installed on any forklift, regardless of make, model, or age. It can even be used on mixed fleets across multiple locations. Here’s what the platform includes:

Clark SMART Telematics

Clark SMART includes:

Driver Behavior Reports
Performance Metrics
GPS Tracking
Equipment Utilization Reports
Service History
Maintenance Notifications
Impact Alerts

Every Clark SMART unit can use both cellular (mobile data) and WiFi. Get real time updates on your:

Smartphone
Tablet
Laptop
or Desktop Computer

Clark SMART telematic units can be attached to virtually any forklift or material handling equipment — even electric pallet jacks. There are no monthly fees, and installation takes two hours or less.

As mentioned above, Clark SMART can be used on mixed fleets across multiple locations. The system is very easy to use, but our team will make sure you have everything set up just the way you want it.

The Clark SMART system also integrates seamlessly with an AI camera system. Advanced sensors detect reflective tape on high-visibility safety gear, transforming standard high-vis vests into an active pedestrian detection solution for forklifts and other mobile equipment.
