Applications

The Clark C500 series is one of Clark's long-running lines of internal combustion counterbalance forklifts, designed for general warehouse, distribution, and light industrial material handling. LP propane forklifts like the C500-30 were widely adopted in facilities that needed indoor/outdoor flexibility, since propane engines produce lower carbon monoxide emissions than gasoline and don't require charging infrastructure like electric lifts. The 3,000 lb (Class III) capacity puts this unit in the most common range for standard pallet handling — moving product on and off dock, staging warehouse inventory, and loading freight. The Clark C500 series was produced over several decades and parts remain available through Clark dealers and the aftermarket. This unit is best suited as a parts donor, a rebuild project, or a yard forklift for a shop with the mechanical resources to return it to service.
