Due to the growing demand for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has taken the initiative to develop the very first pantograph style reach truck in the business. Introducing the new SRX Platinum Series of reach trucks has become part of the North American market. The Australian launch is scheduled to follow really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series is offered in 3 capacities. These load capacities vary from 1360 kg to 2000. The system was made because of intensive operator participation on the design. These factors played a big roll to ensure its acceptance into the hugely competitive reach truck market within the US. The following excellent 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 available 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. In addition, 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 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 enhances the total comfort factor. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place also. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series provide additional operator protection. This is especially important when working around racking and within tight locations.
The multi-function handle and the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior of Nissan's lift trucks are made to achieve precise control while lessening operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands include lift and lower, drive, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach could be performed and executed by this single handle.
