Nissan has taken the initiative to build the very first pantograph type reach truck within the industry. This was due to the increased 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 Australian launch is scheduled to follow really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts come in 3 various load capacities ranging from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was developed thanks to intensive operator contribution on the design. These factors played a huge roll to guarantee its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market in the United States. The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the equipment has been simplified because of a low step height. The model's side stance design makes driving both forward and reverse more comfortable for the operator. The model is available with a gently sloped floorboard that is in place to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. Furthermore, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to provide 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 located under the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place as well. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide extra protection for the operator. This is specially essential when working around racking and in tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been designed with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands comprise drive, lift and lower, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function are capable of being executed and performed utilizing this single handle.
