Because of the increasing 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 very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series is available in 3 capacities. These load capacities vary from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made thanks to intensive operator input on the design. These factors played a big roll to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market in the US. The following excellent safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the machinery has been simplified thanks to a low step height. The model's side stance design makes driving both forward and reverse more comfortable for the operator. The unit is complete with a gently sloped floorboard that is in place to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. Moreover, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride which is more enjoyable and smoother.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the overall smoothness of the drive. The suspension also offers a much more stable operation during use on rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding located beneath the operator's arm further improves the total comfort factor. 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 provide additional protection for the operator. This is especially vital when working within tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been made with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands consist of drive, lift and lower, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach are capable of being executed and performed by this single handle.
