Because of the increasing requirement for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has taken the initiative to build the very 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 launch in Australia is scheduled to follow really 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 input on the design. These considerations played a big roll to guarantee its acceptance into the incredibly 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 machinery has been simplified due to a low step height. The unit's side stance design makes driving both forward and reverse more comfortable for the operator. The model is complete 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 during a standing shift. Furthermore, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to offer a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the equipment's smoothness of operation. This particular suspension on rough and uneven driving surfaces, the suspension has been built to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding located beneath the operator's arm further improves the total comfort factor. 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 offer extra operator protection. This is particularly important when working around racking and within tight locations.
Nissan's lift trucks have been made with the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands consist of drive, lift and lower, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach are capable of being executed and performed by this single handle.
