Nissan has started to develop the first pantograph type reach truck within the business. 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 launch within Australia is scheduled to follow very 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 huge roll to guarantee its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market in the United States. The following outstanding safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the machine has been simplified because of a low step height. The unit'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 particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to offer a ride which is more enjoyable and smoother.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the machines smoothness of operation. This particular suspension on uneven and rough driving surfaces, the suspension has been designed to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding situated 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 high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide additional protection for the operator. This is particularly important when working around racking and within tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been made with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands comprise lift and lower, drive, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function can be performed and executed using this single handle.
