MICHIGAN / CLARK CGC70 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Michigan/Clark CGC70 forklift is a high-capacity, LPG-powered industrial vehicle designed for heavy-duty material handling in warehouses, manufacturing, and logistics environments. It features a robust 4.3L Vortec 4300LT V6 engine delivering 93 hp at 2400 rpm and 235 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpm, providing reliable power and efficient performance. The forklift supports a maximum load capacity of 15,500 lbs at a 24-inch load center, with a 3-stage mast capable of lifting loads to a maximum fork height of 14.6 ft. The lift speed is approximately 60 ft/min, while lowering speed reaches 80 ft/min, ensuring efficient vertical movement of materials. The vehicle measures 9.5 ft in length to the fork face, 5 ft in overall width, with a ground clearance of 3.8 inches, contributing to stable operation and maneuverability in confined spaces. It has a turning radius of 9 ft and a wheelbase of 6.3 ft, which enhances its agility in narrow aisles. The forklift operates at a maximum travel speed of 10.2 mph and weighs 20,859 lbs, employing cushion tires designed for smooth indoor surfaces. The mast tip angles allow an 8-degree tilt forward and rearward, optimizing load handling and placement. Structural features include lift cylinders and hydraulic components mounted inside the mast rails for improved visibility and durability, combined with cushioned hydraulic valves that reduce shock and vibration. The CGC70’s durable frame, efficient powertrain, and advanced hydraulic system ensure long-lasting performance and operator comfort, making it suited for demanding industrial tasks.
