Nissan Fuel Injecting FLTs

Nissan is launching a range of compact, low emission engine lift trucks designed for inside working in restricted areas and outside yard operations. At less than a metre wide and able to turn in a radius of 1,735mm, they are ideal for block stacking operations.

Nissan’s new LX Series – available in 10 lifting capacities from 1.5 to 3.6 tonnes – is the first to feature Nissan’s Tri-Cat Ultra technology, which reduces potentially harmful exhaust emissions by up to 99 per cent. The system is being rolled out as standard across all Nissan’s lp gas trucks.

Nissan says its Tri-Cat Ultra catalytic converter provides the lowest emissions in the marketplace and is the only system fitted to a lift truck by a manufacturer as standard to address all three toxic substances produced when lp gas is burned – carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen.

Fuel Injection

Nissan is also introducing high performance, fuel injected engines designed and produced by the company especially for its forklift ranges. Combined with the Tri-Cat Ultra, Nissan says it provides an engine management system offering up to 26 per cent greater fuel economy than conventional fuel delivery.

In the case of a compact lift truck required to work in areas where space is restricted, good visibility is essential. Nissan has incorporated a low profile counterweight with its Optiview mast, which it says can increase forward visibility by more than 50 per cent. Its auto tilt levelling system tilts the truck’s forks to horizontal at the touch of a button, allowing the load to be positioned with greater speed, accuracy and safety.

The mast lock system prevents the forks from being lowered and the mast from being tilted when the operator has left the seat. The vehicle’s control system also automatically restricts travel speed and acceleration when the truck is turning, and reduces lift speed when travelling. If the operator leaves the seat while the truck is still in gear, the vehicle will automatically return itself to neutral within three seconds.

Nissan’s permanently engaged cushioned stability control uses a flexible damping system installed between the vehicle’s rear axle and frame, providing lateral stability and allowing for safer cornering at higher speeds. The new Nissan compact LX Series is available in both cushion tyre (1.5 to 3.6 tonne) and pneumatic profile (1.5 to 2.5 tonne) versions.
