Nissan has started to build the first pantograph style reach truck within the industry. This was because of 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 within Australia 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 because of intensive operator input on the design. These considerations played a huge part to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market within the United States. The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Due to a low step height, entry and exit 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 that is positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Moreover, the SRX Platinum Series provides 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 underneath 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 rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series provide extra protection for the operator. This is especially essential when working within tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been built with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve precise 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 are capable of being performed and executed using this single handle.
