Nissan has started to make the very first pantograph type reach truck in the industry. This was due to 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 is offered in 3 capacities. These load capacities range from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was developed due to intensive operator participation on the design. These considerations played a big roll to guarantee its acceptance into the incredibly competitive reach truck market within the US. The following excellent safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The entry and exit to the machinery 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 positioned 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 provides a cushioned floor mat to provide 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 offer much better stability during operation. The thick padding located underneath the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place also. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series offer extra operator protection. This is particularly essential when working in tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been made with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands comprise drive, lower or lift, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach can be performed and executed utilizing this single handle.
