Because of the increasing requirement for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has taken the initiative to build the first pantograph type reach truck in the industry. 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 kg to 2000. The system was developed because of intensive operator contribution on the design. These considerations played a big part to ensure its acceptance into the incredibly competitive reach truck market in the United States. The following outstanding operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Due to a low step height, exit and entry is simplified. The side stance design makes reverse and forward driving a comfortable experience for the operator. The model is complete with a gently sloped floorboard that is positioned to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. Furthermore, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to offer a more enjoyable and smoother ride.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the machines 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 located under the operator's arm further improves the total comfort factor. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place also. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series offer extra operator protection. This is particularly vital when working around racking and in tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been designed with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, which helps to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands include drive, lift and lower, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach could be executed and performed using this single handle.
