Nissan has taken the initiative to make the very first pantograph style reach truck within the industry. This was because of the growing 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 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 participation on the design. These factors played a huge part to ensure its acceptance into the incredibly competitive reach truck market in the United States. The following outstanding safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The exit and entry to the machine 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 complete with a gently sloped floorboard which is in place to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This particular design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. In addition, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a smoother and more comfortable 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 situated underneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. 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 additional operator protection. This is specially vital when working around racking and within tight locations.
The multi-function handle and the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior of Nissan's forklifts are built to achieve accurate control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands include lift and lower, drive, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn are capable of being performed and executed by this single handle.
