Nissan has started to build the first pantograph type reach truck in the industry. This was due to the increased requirement 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 vary from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed due to intensive operator contribution on the design. These considerations played a big roll to guarantee its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market in 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 thanks to a low step height. The model's side stance design makes driving both reverse and forward more comfortable for the operator. The model is complete with a gently sloped floorboard which 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 provide a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The caster design of the dual spring suspension system adds to the machines 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 situated beneath the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a height adjustable knee pad and cushioned backrest in place also. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide extra operator protection. This is especially essential 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 accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands consist of lower or lift, drive, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach could be performed and executed using this single handle.
