Dealing with CLARK Material Handling can be an uplifting experience. Founded in 1917 to make material-handling trucks, CLARK has produced more than one million forklifts. Selling through its global network of 300 dealers, the company's line of forklifts includes internal combustion trucks, electric riders, narrow-aisle stackers, and hand trucks. CLARK also supplies aftermarket parts, as well as Totalift-brand parts to fit other manufacturers' forklifts. Citicorp Venture Capital controls the company. Citing huge debt, CLARK filed for bankruptcy in 2000. The company ceased its manufacturing operations in Lexington, Kentucky, moving those operations to its plants in Alabama, Germany, and Korea.
