Due to the increasing requirement for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has started to make the first pantograph style reach truck within the industry. 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 of forklifts are available in 3 different load capacities varying from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made because of intensive operator participation on the design. These considerations played a huge part to ensure its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market in the United States. The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The entry and exit to the machinery has been simplified due to a low step height. The unit's side stance design makes driving both reverse and forward more comfortable for the operator. The model is available with a gently sloped floorboard that is in place to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to offer a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The caster design's dual spring suspension system adds to the drive's overall smoothness. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding located under the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place also. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series provide extra operator protection. This is specially essential when working in tight and around racking locations.
The multi-function handle and the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior of Nissan's lift trucks are designed to achieve accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands include drive, lower or lift, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn can be executed and performed by this single handle.
