Nissan has taken the initiative to make the first pantograph type reach truck within the industry. This was due to the increased 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 Australian launch is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 various load capacities varying from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made because of intensive operator input on the design. These factors played a huge part to guarantee its acceptance into the incredibly competitive reach truck market in the US. The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Due to a low step height, exit and entry is simplified. The side stance design makes forward and reverse driving a comfortable experience for the operator. The model is complete with a gently sloped floorboard which is positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to offer a ride that is smoother and more enjoyable.
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 rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding located underneath the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place too. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series provide additional protection for the operator. This is specially important when working within tight and around racking locations.
The multi-function handle and the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior of Nissan's forklifts are designed to achieve accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands comprise drive, lift and lower, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn are capable of being executed and performed by this single handle.
