Nissan has started to build the very first pantograph style reach truck within the industry. This was due to the increased 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 launch in Australia 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 made because of intensive operator input 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 outstanding operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry 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 model is available with a gently sloped floorboard that is in place to sit on top of 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 offer a more enjoyable and smoother ride.
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 designed to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding located beneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place also. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide additional protection for the operator. This is particularly vital when working around racking and within tight locations.
The multi-function handle and the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior of Nissan's forklifts are designed to achieve precise control while reducing 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 utilizing this single handle.
