Nissan has started to make the first pantograph style reach truck within the industry. This was due to the growing 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 launch in Australia is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series is available in 3 capacities. These load capacities vary from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made because of intensive operator contribution on the design. These factors played a big roll to ensure its acceptance into the incredibly competitive reach truck market in the United States. The following outstanding operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Because of a low step height, entry and exit is simplified. The side stance design makes forward and reverse driving a comfortable experience for the operator. The unit is available with a gently sloped floorboard which is positioned to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a more enjoyable and smoother ride.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the machines smoothness of operation. This suspension on rough and uneven driving surfaces, the suspension has been made to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding located under the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place too. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide additional operator protection. This is especially important when working in tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been made with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands consist of lower or lift, drive, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn are capable of being performed and executed by this single handle.
