Nissan has taken the initiative to develop the first pantograph style reach truck within the industry. This was due to the increased 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 really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts come in 3 various load capacities ranging from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed because of intensive operator contribution on the design. These factors played a big part to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market within the US. The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the equipment 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 unit is complete with a gently sloped floorboard which is positioned to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride that is smoother and more enjoyable.
The caster design's dual spring suspension system adds to the overall smoothness of the drive. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding located beneath the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. 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 extra operator protection. This is particularly essential when working around racking and within tight locations.
Nissan's lift trucks 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. Several of the Operational commands include drive, lift and lower, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn are capable of being executed and performed utilizing this single handle.
