CLARK SMART Telematics, a cutting-edge technology platform designed to enhance safety, productivity, and fleet management efficiency.
CLARK Material Handling Company has announced the official launch of CLARK SMART Telematics, a cutting-edge technology platform designed to enhance safety, productivity, and fleet management efficiency. Beginning July 16, CLARK SMART will be available as a factory-installed option on four of our most popular models: the GTS20-33, S20-35, S40-60, and S20-32C.
With no recurring fees and a five-year service plan included, CLARK SMART provides real-time data, remote access, and comprehensive analytics—all fully integrated into the truck’s CAN Bus system for seamless operation.
Key Features of CLARK SMART Include:
- GPS Tracking & Remote Shutdown: Instantly locate trucks, monitor hour usage, and shut down equipment in cases of unauthorized use or safety concerns.
- Real-Time Accident Alerts: Get immediate notifications when impact events occur, enabling supervisors to assess and control risk instantly.
- Automated Pre-Shift Inspections: Eliminate paper logs with digital inspections saved automatically. Non-compliant responses can trigger safe-mode operation or shutdowns until reviewed.
- Direct Messaging to Operators: Send real-time instructions or cancel tasks before time is wasted.
- Operator Access Control: Secure access via badge or PIN, with custom permissions tailored to individual users, machines, or departments.
- Service Alerts: Never miss preventive maintenance tasks again with hour- and date-based notifications.
- Rental Management Tools: Monitor rentals remotely, track hours for accurate billing, and shut down delinquent accounts—whether the truck is powered on or not.
- Web-Based Analytics and Reporting: Access on-demand reports to optimize fleet use, manage operator productivity, and reduce downtime.

“CLARK SMART puts control and insight into the hands of our customers like never before,” said Brandon Bullard, Vice President of Sales at CLARK Material Handling Company. “This solution is another example of how CLARK is driving innovation to help our dealers and customers operate safer, smarter, and more efficiently.”
