Nissan has taken the initiative to develop the first pantograph type reach truck in the business. This was due to 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 varying from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed due to 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 safety and operator comfort 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 available with a gently sloped floorboard which is positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to offer a ride which is smoother and more enjoyable.
The caster design of the dual spring suspension system adds to the equipment's smoothness of operation. This particular suspension on rough and uneven driving surfaces, the suspension has been designed to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding situated beneath the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place too. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series offer extra protection for the operator. This is specially vital 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. Several of the Operational commands consist of drive, lift and lower, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function can be performed and executed using this single handle.
