Nissan 1F4 series

Nissan has launched a new forklift range with engines that are more efficient and produce fewer emissions.

The 1F4 series has two engine options - diesel or gasoline/LPG -both offering more power and efficiency.

The new TD42 diesel engine boasts a quick glow system to help on cold mornings by improving starting functionality.

The other engine option, the TB45 gasoline/LPG engine, has a combination of features to reduce the toxicity of exhaust fumes. The electronic concentrated control system (ECCS) and a three-way catalytic converter work together for optimal performance.

The ECCS increases maximum output and lifting speed and the eco mode reduces noise and tyre wear, and makes sure the machine's fuel usage is maximised.

The 1F4 has a new final drive design so it can be used for a variety of operations and can also be used on rough roads.

The braking system has been improved by increasing the size of the brake and the inclusion of a standard hydraulic booster, which means greater braking force with less effort.

Nissan has doubled the dust holding capacity of this new machine by using a cyclone air cleaner so the engine can operate for longer periods in dusty situations.

There are a range of optional extras to add to the comfort and operation of the 1F4 including a steering synchroniser, a fingertip control lever, an LPG swing-down bracket, double tyres and rain guards.
