Due to the growing demand for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has started to make 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 launch in Australia is scheduled to follow very soon.
The SRX Platinum Series is offered 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 roll to ensure its acceptance into the extremely competitive reach truck market in the US. The following outstanding safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The entry and exit to the equipment has been simplified due to a low step height. The model'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 positioned to sit on top of 4 vibration isolators. This design provides a relaxed driving position for the operator in a standing shift. Furthermore, the SRX Platinum Series provides a cushioned floor mat to provide a ride which is smoother and more enjoyable.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the machines smoothness of operation. This suspension on uneven and rough driving surfaces, the suspension has been built to offer much better stability during operation. The thick padding situated underneath 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 protection for the operator. This is particularly important when working around racking and within tight locations.
The multi-function handle and the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior of Nissan's forklifts are designed to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands consist of drive, lower or lift, side-shift or other auxiliary function, reach, and the horn could be executed and performed by this single handle.
