Nissan has taken the initiative to develop the first pantograph type reach truck in the industry. This was because of the increased 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 Australian launch is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 different load capacities ranging from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was developed due to intensive operator participation on the design. These factors played a huge roll to ensure its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market within the United States. The following excellent safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the machinery has been simplified because of a low step height. The model's side stance design makes driving both forward and reverse 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 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 smoother and more comfortable ride.
The caster design of the dual spring suspension system adds to the equipment's smoothness of operation. This particular suspension on uneven and rough driving surfaces, the suspension has been built to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding located beneath the operator's arm further improves the total comfort factor. 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 offer additional protection for the operator. This is specially vital when working around racking and within tight locations.
The multi-function handle and the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior of Nissan's lift trucks are made to achieve accurate control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands consist of drive, lower or lift, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach could be performed and executed by this single handle.
