Nissan has started to develop the first pantograph type reach truck within the business. 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 launch in Australia is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 various load capacities varying from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed thanks to intensive operator participation on the design. These factors played a big 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 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 model is available with a gently sloped floorboard that is positioned to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to offer a ride which is smoother and more enjoyable.
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 under 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 high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide extra operator protection. This is particularly vital when working around racking and within tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been designed with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve accurate control while lessening operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands include lower or lift, drive, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function can be performed and executed utilizing this single handle.
