Nissan has started to build the first pantograph style reach truck in 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 Australian launch is scheduled to follow really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts come in 3 different load capacities ranging from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made due to intensive operator contribution on the design. These considerations 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.
Due to 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 provides a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to offer a more enjoyable and smoother ride.
The caster design's dual spring suspension system 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 further enhances 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 provide extra operator protection. This is specially important when working within tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's lift trucks have been designed with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands include lift and lower, drive, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn are capable of being executed and performed by this single handle.
