Nissan has taken the initiative to develop the very first pantograph type reach truck in 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 Australian launch is scheduled to follow really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts come in 3 different load capacities ranging from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed because of intensive operator input on the design. These considerations played a huge roll to ensure 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.
Because of 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 available 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 provide a smoother and more comfortable ride.
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 situated under the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place too. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series offer extra operator protection. This is specially important when working in tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been designed with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands consist of lift and lower, drive, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function are capable of being performed and executed using this single handle.
