Due to the increasing requirement for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has started to build 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 offered in 3 capacities. These load capacities vary from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made thanks to intensive operator input on the design. These factors played a big roll to guarantee its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market within the US. The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The entry and exit to the machine 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 model is complete with a gently sloped floorboard that is in place to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator throughout a standing shift. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to offer a ride that is smoother and more enjoyable.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the drive's overall smoothness. The suspension also offers a much more stable operation during use on uneven or rough driving surfaces. The thick padding situated under the operator's arm enhances the total comfort factor further. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place as well. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide additional operator protection. This is especially essential when working in tight and around racking locations.
The multi-function handle and the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior of Nissan's forklifts are made to achieve accurate control while lessening operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands comprise lower or lift, drive, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn could be performed and executed by this single handle.
