Less strain for the operator
December 1st 2008 Three-stage masts lifting to 10.8m
and tilting carriages that are
designed to offer a high degree of
load safety are key features of
Nissan's reach truck range which
now extends from 1.4 to 2.5t.
Believed to offer the fastest
acceleration in their class (0 to
10km in 2.5s), all models are
completely programmable
according to operator competence
and the load to be transported.
The trucks are available in cold
store, narrow aisle and three and
four directional versions. Emphasis
with the 1.4 to 2t UNS and USS
(narrow aisle) models is on operator
comfort for maximum productivity,
so the driver's workplace has been
designed to reduce unnecessary
movement and strain.
Full servo fingertip controls have
been used for pinpoint lifting and
stacking accuracy and are operated
with a gentle rearward movement.
The mini steering wheel is also
servo-assisted and mounted on a
'floating' arm rest to ensure that all
hand movements are completely
supported.
To ensure a good view of the load
at high lift heights, the seat's built-in
tilt function responds directly to
pressure from the operator to an
angle of 15°.
Access through a pin code system
enables the truck to be operated by
up to 350 drivers. More articles from Nissan Motor (GB) Limited: |
