CLARK Material Handling Company, the brand that started it all, announces one of the most aggressive moves in modern material handling: a 5-year/8,000-hour carriage-to-counterweight warranty, included standard with every Class 1 electric forklift.

This isn’t an incremental improvement—it’s a statement. It’s the boldest and most potent signal to the industry that it’s time to take another look at CLARK.

For over a century, CLARK has delivered the most durable lift trucks customers count on. Now, the company is reinforcing that legacy with a level of coverage that redefines confidence, reliability, and long-term value in electric material handling.

This milestone reflects CLARK’s continued commitment to durability, performance, and long-term customer value—and represents a renewed era for one of the most recognized names in industrial lift trucks.

“The Return of the Icon is here. CLARK delivers another first to the market,” said Brandon Bullard, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We’re backing every Class 1 electric forklift with a bold new 5-year warranty—carriage to counterweight—because our customers deserve absolute confidence in their equipment. Simply put, CLARK is BACK.”

CLARK’s lithium-powered forklifts already set the standard with zero emissions, whisper-quiet operation, and one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the industry. CLARK lift trucks are engineered for consistent uptime and long-term performance.

Now, with full 5-year coverage included standard, CLARK is eliminating doubt—and raising expectations.

For over a century, CLARK has delivered the durable lift trucks customers rely on every day. With this announcement, the company reinforces its leadership position while providing customers with unprecedented confidence in their electric fleet investments.
