Straight-line travel when reversing out of racking
September 1st 2007 Bridging the gap between its
warehouse range and
standard four wheel
counterbalance trucks, Nissan's
three-wheel electric TX Syncro
Series incorporates a special
feature to provide straight-line
travel when reversing out of racking.
All models in the range also
have a double rear wheel as
standard for additional stability.
The AC-powered range extends
to five versions in six capacities
from 1.25 to 2t, with compact,
standard and high performance
options adding to versatility.
Safety for both the operator and
the surrounding workforce is said
to be assured through Nissan's
Risk Reduction System. This is
designed to create a cabin space
that provides good all-round
visibility and which incorporates
dedicated controls to ensure
optimum secure operation.
A mast lock system prevents
forks from being lowered or the
mast from being tilted when the
operator has left the seat. The
system automatically restricts travel
speeds and acceleration when the
truck is turning, and reduces lift
speeds at high rates of truck travel.
If the accelerator is released
when the truck is on a gradient, an
anti roll-back device ensures that
the truck can reverse only slowly. A
new style of parking brake has a
lock to prevent accidental release.
Nissan has also introduced an
AC TECH controller to provide both
performance and economy. The
controller continuously monitors
and communicates factors such as
travel speed and steering wheel
angle to the operator through the
instrument panel. More articles from Nissan Motor (GB) Limited: |
