Because of the increasing demand for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has started to build the first pantograph type reach truck within the industry. 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 made because of 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 US. The following outstanding operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Because of 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 that is positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride that is more enjoyable and smoother.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the equipment's smoothness of operation. This suspension on uneven and rough driving surfaces, the suspension has been designed 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 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 provide extra operator protection. This is especially essential when working around racking and in tight locations.
Nissan's lift trucks have been designed with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands consist of lift and lower, drive, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach could be executed and performed using this single handle.
