Nissan has taken the initiative to make the very first pantograph style reach truck in the industry. This was because of the increased requirement for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks. Introducing the new SRX Platinum Series of reach trucks has become part of the North American market. The launch in Australia is scheduled to follow really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 different load capacities varying from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was developed due to intensive operator contribution on the design. These considerations played a huge roll to ensure its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market in the US. The following outstanding safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the machinery has been simplified because of a low step height. The model's side stance design makes driving both reverse and forward more comfortable for the operator. The unit is complete with a gently sloped floorboard which is positioned to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to provide a more enjoyable and smoother ride.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the equipment's smoothness of operation. This particular suspension on rough and uneven driving surfaces, the suspension has been made to offer much better stability during operation. The thick padding located underneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place as well. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series provide extra protection for the operator. This is particularly important when working in tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's lift trucks have been built with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands consist of lower or lift, drive, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function could be performed and executed utilizing this single handle.
