Because of the increasing demand for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has taken the initiative to build the very first pantograph style 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 range from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed because of intensive operator contribution on the design. These considerations played a huge roll to guarantee its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market within the United States. The following outstanding 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 forward and reverse driving a comfortable experience for the operator. The model is complete with a gently sloped floorboard that is positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Furthermore, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to provide a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The caster design's dual spring suspension system adds to the drive's overall smoothness. The suspension also provides a much more stable operation during use on rough or uneven driving surfaces. The thick padding situated underneath the operator's arm further improves the total comfort factor. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place too. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide extra operator protection. This is particularly important when working around racking and in tight locations.
Nissan's forklifts have been built with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Several of the Operational commands include drive, lift and lower, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach are capable of being performed and executed by this single handle.
