Nissan has taken the initiative to build the very first pantograph style reach truck in the industry. This was due to the growing 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 Australian launch is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series is available in 3 capacities. These load capacities vary from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was developed thanks to intensive operator contribution on the design. These considerations played a huge roll to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market within 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 due to a low step height. The model's side stance design makes driving both reverse and forward more comfortable for the operator. The unit is available with a gently sloped floorboard which is in place to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride that is more enjoyable and smoother.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the drive's overall smoothness. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding situated underneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place also. 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 within tight and around racking 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. Several of the Operational commands comprise drive, lower or lift, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function are capable of being performed and executed utilizing this single handle.
