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 of forklifts come in 3 various load capacities varying from 1360 kilograms to 2000. The system was developed because of intensive operator contribution on the design.

The following excellent operator comfort and safety features have resulted for the Nissan trucks.

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. Additionally, the SRX Platinum Series offers a cushioned floor mat to provide a smoother and more comfortable ride.
The dual spring suspension system in the caster design adds to the machines smoothness of operation. This particular suspension on uneven and rough driving surfaces, the suspension has been made 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 also. The high operator backrest and the rear overhead guard post on the SRX Series offer extra protection for the operator. This is particularly essential when working within tight and around racking locations.
Nissan's lift trucks have been made with the ergonomically and intuitive designed interior with a multi-function handle, that helps to achieve accurate control while reducing operator comfort. Some of the Operational commands include drive, lower or lift, reach, horn and the side-shift or other auxiliary function are capable of being executed and performed using this single handle.
