For the toughest low level picking jobs
April 1st 2007 Nissan has launched a heavy duty version of its PP series of low level order pickers. With basic capacity of 2.5 tonnes, the new PPL and PPD models feature heavy-duty fork carriages, with load sensors providing automatic control of vehicle speed according to the weight carried. Extreme manoeuvrability and a new suspension system for optimum safety and traction provide major benefits to the range, while modular-build format enables users to specify an order picker tailored exactly to the requirements of their application – from fixed operator position and low lift forks to rising operator platform and high lift forks. Features available for optimum productivity include an advanced steering system and the option of increased stability to override hazardous manoeuvres automatically. For maximum operational versatility, all models within the series will operate in temperatures from -35°c to +40°c. With its significant focus on operator comfort for greater productivity, the non-slip platform on the Nissan PP is especially spacious (690mm x 430mm) and features free-floating vibration damping to reduce fatigue. Diagnostics built in to the Nissan PP's truck computer enable rapid fault finding to reduce downtime. Both in motion and while stationary, the Nissan PP is designed for greatest operator safety. Its Friction Force system imparts excellent stability, with smooth braking from its regenerative AC motor and emergency brake.In operation, ground clearance of just 55mm minimises the risk of foot injury, with robust guard rails on rising platform models and an integral safety switch to prevent the platform from moving unless the operator is on board.
