Forklift manufacturer Clark Material Handling has launched its new WPL33 electric pallet jack which has a lift capacity of 3,300 lbs. (1,497 kg).

The WPL33 is powered by a 24V lithium-ion battery which Clark says provides “the same power output at 10% as it does at 100%”, can achieve a maximum elevation of 7.75 inch (197 cm) and is designed for use with a standard 48 inch (1.22 m) pallet.

The WPL33 has electromechanical brakes, an ergonomic handle and a low-mounted tiller arm.

“The internal components are covered by water resistant connectors and a shrouded wiring harness, which provides continuous, reliable power to the components,” Clark states. “The system includes a key switch, emergency power disconnect, and an on-board dock for easy exchange of the battery when charging.”

Brandon Bullard, Clark’s vice president of sales adds: “Whether you’re unloading or moving product or manoeuvring in tight spaces, this pallet jack has the tight turn radius, powerful battery, and ergonomic design to keep you and your operation moving forward”.
