Forklift thieves have struck again, stealing four Clark forklifts at gunpoint on November 11.

The four Clark CMP 30 LPG forklifts were in transit from Laredo, Texas, to a Mexico City Clark dealership when the transport truck was stopped and robbed by thieves. The truck driver was initially kidnapped by the robbers but later released.

A second truck, carrying two Clark electric walkie forklifts, escaped. All Clark's USA dealers have been alerted to the theft, said Tom Krill, of Clark Material Handling Company.

The serial numbers of the stolen forklifts are:
CMP230L-4066-6872KF;
CMP230L-4073-6872KF;
CMP230L-4074-6872KF; and
CMP230L-4076-6872KF.

"If (Forkliftaction.com members) are offered any of these units, receive parts or service inquiries against these serial numbers, please obtain all possible details and contact tomkrill@clarkmhc.com as soon as possible," he said.
