NISSAN CL55 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Nissan CL55 is a compact, gas-LPG powered forklift engineered for efficient material handling in confined warehouse and industrial spaces. This cushion-tired model delivers a 5,500-pound load capacity at a 24-inch load center, making it suitable for standard pallet operations and general cargo management. Powered by a 55 horsepower engine operating at 2,700 RPM, the CL55 provides reliable performance with the flexibility of dual-fuel capability, allowing operators to switch between gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas for operational cost optimization. The forklift features a responsive hydraulic lift system capable of raising loads at 94.5 feet per minute, enabling productivity in high-volume environments. Its compact dimensions—7.9 feet in length to fork face, 6.9 feet overall height with mast lowered, and 3.6 feet in width—facilitate maneuverability through narrow aisles and tight storage areas. The 6.7-foot turning radius further enhances agility in congested workspaces. Equipped with four cushion wheels (two front, two rear), this configuration provides smooth operation on finished floors while reducing noise and vibration compared to pneumatic alternatives. The vehicle achieves a maximum travel speed of 10.6 mph, balancing productivity with operator control. The 8.2-foot right-angle stack height and integrated mast design enable efficient vertical storage utilization. The CL55's robust construction and straightforward control systems make it an economical choice for small to mid-sized operations requiring dependable load handling without the complexity of larger industrial equipment.
