Because of the growing demand 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 really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 various load capacities varying from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed because of intensive operator input on the design. These factors played a huge roll to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market in the US. The following excellent safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
Because of a low step height, entry and exit is simplified. The side stance design makes reverse and forward driving a comfortable experience 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 provides a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to offer a ride that is smoother and more enjoyable.
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 rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding situated beneath the operator's arm further improves the total comfort factor. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place as well. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series offer extra protection for the operator. This is particularly vital when working around racking and within tight locations.
Nissan's lift trucks have been built with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands include lift and lower, drive, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn could be executed and performed by this single handle.
