Nissan has started to make the 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 very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series is available in 3 capacities. These load capacities range from 1360 kilograms 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 incredibly competitive reach truck market within the US. The following excellent safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The entry and exit to the equipment 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 model is available with a gently sloped floorboard which is in place to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride which is more enjoyable and smoother.
The caster design's dual spring suspension system adds to the overall smoothness of the drive. The suspension also offers a much more stable operation during use on uneven or rough driving surfaces. The thick padding located under the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place as well. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series offer additional protection for the operator. This is specially vital when working around racking and in tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been built with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve accurate control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands comprise lift and lower, drive, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn can be performed and executed using this single handle.
