Nissan Powerlift has added to its line up of warehouse forklifts with the launch its latest reach truck, the RG Series. 
 
Years in the making, the RG Series is the product of typical Nissan Forklift attention to detail.

The company claims numerous truck operators and logistics managers have been interviewed and scientific studies on ergonomics and repetitive-strain injuries have been performed as part of its development.

“Additionally, fine-tuning has been performed with a range of customers in the toughest applications,” the company says.

“As a result, the new Nissan Forklift RG Series offers industry-leading operator comfort and safety.

ERGONOMICS

The RG Series’ operator compartment is multi adjustable for left-and-right armrests and seat position.

Even the floor height is electrically adjustable to accommodate all operator sizes, while the optional ERGO Logic joystick provides up to nine different mast-related functions.

The specially shaped seat backrest is easily switched for looking to the left or right and the slide-down and tilt-back function supports the operator while working at high-lifting heights.

Hands-free direction control, optimal LCD display placement, keyboard and (optional) writing desk all contribute to a relaxed working space, resulting in a more productive operator.

Together with the unique mini-steering wheel in-armrest, the RG Series offers industry leading ergonomics.

EFFICIENCY

The Nissan Forklift AC TECH controller provides productive, reliable and cost-effective truck operation.

With this advanced technology the options to enhance productivity are significant; including automatic horizontal fork levelling, sideshift centering, load-weight indication and double-deep storage.

The unique Level Assistance System – or Level Selector – helps the operator go to preset lifting heights in the racking at the push of a button, greatly reducing the time spent on positioning.

Other productivity options such as 360 degree steering and video camera support are also available.

“The RG Series’ performance is top notch, with drive speeds to 14.5 km/h and lift speeds to 700 mm/s and manoeuvrability in small aisles is also amongst the industry’s best,” the company says.

“Uptime is maximised by 1000 hour service intervals, long-life hydraulic fluid with 6 percent energy reduction and the HSHL® drive wheel for reduced wear.
