Let’s Walk Through the WPL40 Main Features
Pin-Wheeling
The WPL40 can pinwheel in place with the handle in the fully upright position. Maneuver the pallet jack in and out of tight spaces using a smaller, tighter turn radius with loads up to 4,000 lbs.
Hydraulics
The permanent magnet DC pump motor and chrome-plated lifting cylinder delivers smooth and efficient lifting and greater durability.
Brakes
The electromagnetic brake, mounted on the motor armature shaft, multiplies the braking power through the transmission and provides good stopping power when the control tiller is raised to the full vertical position or lowered to a fully horizontal position beyond the operating range. Additionally, the armature-mounted brake design:
- Keeps the braking mechanism clear from dirt and debris
- Automatically engages the parking brake when the truck stops and the handle is released
- Features an anti-rollback and neutral braking system for improved safety in operation
Ergonomic Steer/Control Handle
The CLARK WPL40 comes standard with an ergonomic handle, designed to allow operators access to all controls without lifting their hand from the handle, reducing fatigue. Angled grips allow operators to switch hands with ease.
CLARK has a handle on function:
- Solid steel tubing control tiller arm and control handles outlast cast aluminum or plastic designs
- Angled control handle grips allowing easy operation with either hand
- An emergency reversing switch, thumb control, and horn — all standard
- The low-mounted tiller arm supports minimum steering effort for greater operator comfort
- The gas-assisted spring gently returns the control tiller arm to a vertical position
- Crawl speed switch enables the operator greater-ease-of-use in tight spaces
Fork Design with Tapered Tips
The new WPL40’s fork construction and pallet entry slide system provide easy pallet access by allowing the forks to lift up and over the bottom board. The forks, at 27” OAW x 46.0 OAL, can achieve a maximum elevation of over 7.5”. The shape of the load wheel housing or toe box ensures pallet entry and exit can occur without the need for wearable rollers.
48-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery Power Output
The powerful 48-Volt Lithium-Ion battery maintains consistent power output through the charge cycle. Lithium-Ion batteries have no maintenance, longer run times, and charge more efficiently. A great alternative to lead-acid batteries, the 48V lithium-ion battery is standard on the WPL40.
Electrical Componentry
The water-resistant connectors and shrouded wiring harness supply power reliably to key components. The WPL40 system includes a key switch, emergency power disconnect, and onboard dock for Easy Exchange Battery.
Serviceability
The removable covers and the modular design of the WPL40’s components provide for easy maintenance with simple hand tools. And the two-piece drive wheel reduces the complexity of tire changes.
Gear Technology
The state-of-the-art optimized gear technology supplies advantages such as low noise level, high efficiency, and high performance.
Maintenance
The fully adjustable pull rods and torsion bar extend the WPL40 operating life in delivery truck and dock use applications. The WPL40 goes further with easily accessible grease zerks for easier maintenance.
