Due to the growing demand for high performing narrow aisle reach trucks, Nissan has taken the initiative to build the very first pantograph style reach truck in 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 really soon.
The SRX Platinum Series of forklifts are available in 3 various load capacities ranging from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was made thanks to intensive operator participation on the design.

The following outstanding safety and operator comfort features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.
The entry and exit to the equipment has been simplified thanks to a low step height. The unit'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 positioned to sit over 4 vibration isolators. This particular design offers a relaxed driving position for the operator during a standing shift. Moreover, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The caster design of the dual spring suspension system adds to the machines smoothness of operation. This suspension on uneven and rough driving surfaces, the suspension has been built to provide much better stability during operation. The thick padding located under the operator's arm further enhances the total comfort factor. There is a cushioned backrest and height adjustable knee pad in place as well. The rear overhead guard post and the high operator backrest on the SRX Series offer extra protection for the operator. This is especially vital when working within tight and around racking locations.
The multi-function handle and the intuitive and ergonomically designed interior of Nissan's forklifts are designed to achieve precise control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands include drive, lower or lift, horn, side-shift or other auxiliary function and reach are capable of being executed and performed using this single handle.
