Because of the growing requirement for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has started to make 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 really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series is offered in 3 capacities. These load capacities range from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made because of intensive operator participation on the design. These considerations played a huge part to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market within the US. The following excellent safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the equipment has been simplified due 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 which is in place to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to offer a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the overall smoothness of the drive. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on uneven or rough driving surfaces. The thick padding situated beneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest 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 intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands comprise drive, lower or lift, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function can be performed and executed using this single handle.
