Three's tops for straight reversing
October 1st 2007 Bridging the gap between its warehouse and standard counterbalance range, Nissan's TX Syncro three wheeler delivers manoeuvrability, stability and straight-line reversing
Nissan claims the TX Syncro's threewheel
design offers best warehouse
manoeuvrability, while a double rear
wheel delivers additional stability – vital for
smaller trucks
when travelling
unladen. The
company says
its ability to
reverse in a
straight line is
also a boon
when reversing
out of racking.
The ACpowered
range
extends to five versions and in six capacities
from 1.25 to 2.0 tonnes, with compact,
standard and High Performance options
adding to handling versatility.
Risk reduction
While Nissan claims class leading lift and
acceleration speeds, the company says safety
for both operator and surrounding workforce
is assured by its Risk Reduction System, based
around a cabin that provides high all-round
visibility and dedicated controls to ensure
optimum secure operation.
Manoeuvrability
The wedge-shaped chassis ensures optimum
manoeuvrability for the truck. Coupled to
the standard double rear wheel, an overall
width is of just 1070mm (on the smallest
models) delivers high stability and load
capacity, especially at high lift heights. Nissan
says its new AC TECH controller provides both
maximum performance and economy. Five
function keys can also be used to adjust the
truck's performance to ensure the safest
operating parameters according to the
operator's experience, the requirements of
the load or the handling conditions.
Comfort
A wide, spacious cabin with multi-adjustable
suspension seat and adjustable steering
wheel means drivers can select their
preferred driving position. Pedal layout is
automotive style and hydraulic levers are
located immediately next to the seat.
Fingertip controls are optional.
Fuzzy Logic Control aids smooth
acceleration while deceleration takes place
automatically when the opposite travel
direction is engaged or when the foot is
lifted from the accelerator pedal.
Uptime
Three regenerative braking systems, a load
sensing steering system and Auto Power Off
working through the AC TECH controller
increase working hours from each charge.
Service intervals are 1200 hours. A Built In
Test Equipment (BITE) module enables
engineers to perform diagnostics through
the instrument panel. Compact, standard
and high performance versions are
available. More articles from Nissan Motor (GB) Limited: |
