The Clark HWXE/PWXE is among the forklifts of the US maker Clark, which has built forklifts and industrial trucks for decades. The Clark range includes, among others, battery-electric cushion-tyre forklifts such as the SEC20-35 series with capacities of 4,000 to 7,000 lb, and lithium-powered three- and four-wheel trucks of the STE and SE series with capacities of 3,200 to 4,000 lb.
On a forklift three figures above all decide its use: capacity, load centre distance and lift height. Capacity applies only up to the stated load centre, usually measured from the fork face; loads further forward reduce the permissible load. Lift height determines which rack level can be stacked.
Drive counts too: electric trucks run quietly and without exhaust in halls, while combustion trucks have more reserve outdoors and on uneven ground. Which of these properties fit the HWXE/PWXE is shown on the nameplate and data sheet of the individual machine.
Clark – The Inventor of the Hydraulic Forklift Truck
Eugene Clark began working for the Illinois Steel Company in 1904, gradually improving production processes; this became the Clark Equipment Company in 1916. In 1920, Clark introduced the "Truclift", the world's first internal-combustion platform lift truck to raise loads hydraulically rather than through mechanical gears and linkage. In 1928 came the "Tructractor", the first complete internal-combustion forklift truck, which likewise used hydraulics rather than chains and cables to lift loads, and is regarded as a direct forerunner of the modern forklift. From these beginnings, the company grew into one of the world's best-known makers of material-handling equipment. Listed in the register: the SEC20-35 and the STE/SE16-20 series.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
