Due to the increasing demand for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has started to develop the first pantograph type reach truck within 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 vary from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed thanks to intensive operator input on the design. These considerations played a huge roll to guarantee its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market in the US. The following outstanding safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the equipment has been simplified because of a low step height. The unit's side stance design makes driving both reverse and forward more comfortable for the operator. The unit is available with a gently sloped floorboard which is positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. Moreover, the SRX Platinum Series provides 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 drive's overall smoothness. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on uneven or rough driving surfaces. The thick padding located underneath 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 extra protection for the operator. This is especially important when working within tight and around racking 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 consist of lift and lower, drive, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach are capable of being executed and performed using this single handle.
