Because of the growing demand for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has taken the initiative to build the first pantograph style reach truck within the business. 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 really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 different load capacities ranging from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made due to intensive operator input on the design. These factors played a huge roll to ensure its acceptance into the hugely 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 forward and reverse more comfortable for the operator. The unit is available with a gently sloped floorboard that is positioned to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride that is smoother and more enjoyable.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the equipment's smoothness of operation. This suspension on rough and uneven driving surfaces, the suspension has been made to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding situated underneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place as well. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series offer additional operator protection. This is specially essential when working within tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been built with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands comprise lift and lower, drive, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach can be executed and performed utilizing this single handle.
