Nissan has started to build the first pantograph type reach truck within the industry. This was due to 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 in Australia is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 various load capacities ranging from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was developed because of intensive operator input on the design. These factors played a huge roll to guarantee its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market within the United States. The following outstanding operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Because of a low step height, exit and entry is simplified. The side stance design makes reverse and forward driving a comfortable experience for the operator. The model is complete with a gently sloped floorboard which is in place to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Furthermore, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride that is smoother and more enjoyable.
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 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 offer additional protection for the operator. This is especially important when working around racking and within tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been built with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands include drive, lift and lower, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn are capable of being performed and executed utilizing this single handle.
