This versatile lithium-ion forklift has the power to keep up with any high-activity enterprise and the durability to handle all four seasons, indoors and out. Read on to learn everything you need to know about the Clark SE25.
The Clark SE25 S-series electric forklift has a lot to offer. However, three features make it stand out.

Safety was clearly a top design requirement when Clark created the SE25. This model features low-maintenance wet disc brakes with an automatic parking brake, which self-activates whenever the fork truck stops or the operator adjusts the seat. The nested I-beam mast features a two-primary-cylinder design, which offers a wider field of view compared to many other forklifts of this size. In addition to the zero-turn steering axle and turtle mode, the SE25 has a curve cutback feature that automatically slows the truck during turns, making it even safer to maneuver.
A forklift only works as often as the operator. To ensure operator comfort, Clark added a suite of standard ergonomic features to their S-series forklifts. A vinyl, full-suspension seat with integrated lumbar support comes standard on the SE25. This pairs with a padded, wide-profile hip restraint to reduce fatigue.
The floor is 4 inches wider than other models to accommodate a variety of body types and improve comfort. Finally, hood-mounted control levers allow the driver to operate the truck without leaning or stretching, further reducing fatigue and ease of use.
A fully welded heavy gauge frame forms the core of the SE25. A six-roller carriage with standard side thrust rollers helps ensure stability and prevents mast deflection during lifting. Likewise, S-series forklifts have a wider, low-profile design with a lower center of gravity to maximize stability during lifting and traveling. Finally, the Clark Nested I-Beam mast has endured rigorous testing to ensure reliability and longevity.
While this Clark electric forklift design allows both indoor and outdoor applications, it is not equipped for off-road usage. The low clearance chassis prevents the SE25 from tackling the ruts and ridges of more rugged applications. As such, we recommend driving the SE25 on asphalt, concrete, or similarly smooth operating surfaces.
The SE25 is the lightest-duty of the S-series family. Its maximum lifting capacity tops out at 5,000 lbs, making it unsuited for heavy-duty lifting. If your industry calls for lifting heavier loads, the SE25 may not be the forklift for you. In that case, you may consider the SE35, which has a maximum lifting capacity of 7,000 lbs.
