⚠️Side effects may include an uncontrollable urge to move something heavy.💪

From unload to final assembly, the result speaks for itself: 18,000 lbs. of heavy-duty CLARK C80D ready to go to work.

And that ending? 50 years with CLARK looks pretty damn good from up there. 🏆

Three trucks. One standard. ⚡

Innovation never stands still. Captured here at Kent Precision Foods, a valued customer, this lineup showcases CLARK’s continued evolution—from the proven TMX20, to its next-generation successor, the SE20T, and most recently, the agile SES20 stand-up counterbalance.

CLARK Material Handling Company continues to raise the bar for electric forklifts with performance, reliability, and operator-focused design. And every CLARK electric forklift is backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty, giving you the confidence to keep moving day after day.💪

Thank you, Kent Precision Foods, for your continued trust and partnership!

Before the lights come on and the first song plays, there’s a lot of heavy lifting that happens behind the scenes.

Our team was proud to have equipment on-site helping prepare for tonight’s Big A** Stadium Tour in Ames. From unloading and staging to supporting the crews making it all happen, it’s always rewarding to see our forklifts playing a small part in bringing a world-class event to Iowa.

Have an incredible time if you’re heading to the show tonight! 🤘

🏁 Our first race car just rolled into the shop… 🏁

Okay, maybe not.

This Oshkosh aircraft tug stopped by for a fresh set of industrial batteries, and our pit crew had it back on the “track” in no time.

From forklifts to powering aircraft support equipment, we’ve got the solution to keep your operation moving. 💪🔋
