Clark Forklift – the pioneer behind the C-code for diesel and LPG
Clark is regarded as one of the inventors of the modern forklift: in 1917 the company built the "Tructractor", one of the first motorised load-carrying vehicles, followed in 1924 by the first truck with a hydraulic lifting mechanism. By 1997 Clark had built over a million units; since 2003 the company, now based in Dallas, has belonged to South Korea's Young An Hat Company.

The type code of classic Clark trucks starts with "C", followed by a model/size number and a letter for the power source — "D" for diesel, "L" for LPG. Unlike some competitors, that number is not a direct capacity figure in kilograms but a series/size designation: C15D and C17L, for instance, share the same rated capacity but differ in power source.
Models recorded in the database span capacities of 1,361 to 7,484 kg, lift heights of 3,290 to 4,800 mm, and displacement of 1,999 to 4,391 cm³ across 4 to 6 cylinders — a classic mid-size counterbalance programme, represented by models such as C15D, C16L, C17D or C18L.
For a used older Clark, beyond the usual mast and axle check, spare parts are the key question: after several changes of brand ownership, it's worth verifying whether original parts are still available for the specific size class, or only aftermarket substitutes.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
