Nissan has taken the initiative to develop the very first pantograph type reach truck in the industry. This was because of the growing demand 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 within Australia is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts come in 3 different load capacities varying from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was developed thanks to intensive operator participation on the design. These considerations played a big roll to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market within the US. The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The entry and exit to the machine has been simplified due to a low step height. The unit's side stance design makes driving both forward and reverse more comfortable for the operator. The unit is complete with a gently sloped floorboard which is positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. Moreover, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to offer a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the overall smoothness of the drive. The suspension also offers a much more stable operation during use on rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding situated under the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place too. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series offer extra operator protection. This is particularly essential when working within tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's lift trucks have been designed with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands include lift and lower, drive, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function can be performed and executed using this single handle.
