Because of the growing requirement for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has started to develop the very first pantograph type reach truck in the business. Introducing the new SRX Platinum Series of reach trucks has become part of the North American market. The launch in Australia is scheduled to follow really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 different load capacities varying from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed due to intensive operator input on the design. These considerations played a huge part to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market in the US. The following outstanding safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Because of 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 unit is complete with a gently sloped floorboard that is in place to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. Furthermore, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride which is more enjoyable and smoother.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the overall smoothness of the drive. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on uneven or rough driving surfaces. The thick padding located under the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place as well. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series offer extra operator protection. This is specially important when working around racking and in tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been made with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve accurate control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands consist of lower or lift, drive, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function can be performed and executed utilizing this single handle.
