I noticed Nissan's "New" Three Wheeler is strikingly similar to the TCM FTB-VII Series.
I also was suprised to discover Nissan had copied TCM's paint sceme for their Platinum Series lift. The Nissan Platinum Series Lift is also strikingly similar to the "New" Towmotor which Mitsubishi/Cat had introduced two or so years ago as their "Cheeper Version" of the Cat/Mitsubishi unit.
Hand it to Nissan, being in the car business they have incorporated things from the automobile industry to enhance the features which may help with operators who are less than professional, provided the extra wiring and numerous switches hold up. They could prove to be a maintenance issue and inhibit production given the strenous demands place on industrial equipment vs automobiles.
Being a service company and working on numerous brands, quite often fixing things dealers did not we get to see a lot and note some manufacturers have designed wear items to insure parts sales and box customers into corners due to the "Safety" designation being given by the manufacturer even if it is faulty and has a significant repair cost. Hyster and Toyota have done such and it appears Nissan may have found a new twist.

Glad to hear several are happy with the system. I guess it is just in the Southeast where they ship the duds.
It is not rumor but fact as we have had a few customers who bought them and were happy right up till the system needed repair and they got the BILL from the Toyota Dealer. Funny how it was just out of warranty.... They won't go there again.
Whats wrong with SAS? I am factory trained on the SAS and I love it. It can even be repaired without the aid of an analyser.
Just curious of the items that are faulty and given the safety title on Toyota lifts. Do your self a favor and don't say the SAS system. I am having a hard time believing some of you guys actually work on any Toyota's.This is not saying you don't work on them Liftman but I read alot about all these so called problems with SAS. Some of these comments sound like a rumor they heard and have no factual backing. You cannot be critical of something you don't understand or work on. I am just using this post to express this opinion of what I see. Your comment seems to fit the anti-change profile I see. The days of the shade tree mechanic are gone forever and that's a fact. Soon you will see dealer serviced lifts almost exclusively. It's just to hard to train and buy all the needed equipment to diagnose and repair all makes.
