Nissan has taken the initiative to make the very first pantograph type reach truck within the industry. This was because of the growing 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 in Australia 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 thanks to intensive operator contribution on the design. These factors played a big roll to ensure its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market within the United States. 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 forward and reverse driving a comfortable experience for the operator. The model is available with a gently sloped floorboard which is in place to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series offers 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 drive's overall smoothness. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on uneven or rough driving surfaces. The thick padding situated underneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. 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 provide extra operator protection. This is specially important when working within tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been designed with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve accurate control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands include lift and lower, drive, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn are capable of being executed and performed using this single handle.
