Introduction TX4 Series - 4 Wheel AC TE

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 9/7/2008

As part of a series of major new product launches this year, Nissan Forklift introduced the all-new AC powered four-wheel TX4 Series at the CeMAT 2008. This new model is a direct derivative of the very successful TX Series three-wheel. The TX4 Series deliveries will start in September 2008.

The design of the truck is based on a maximum commonality concept. This allows customers to combine easily the three-wheel TX Series and new TX4 Series in a single fleet operation. These Nissan Forklift models offer the highest possible degree of commonality in, onboard systems, operator platform, masts and parts. This benefits operators and maintenance staff, while giving owners lower training and maintenance costs as well as that all important flexibility.

The new TX4 Series will be available in 3 model versions; 1.6 tonne, 1.8 tonne and 2.0 tonne. The wheelbase originates from the longest three-wheel TX Series version; 1410 mm.

Like on its sister truck, the TX4 Series is optionally available with aBattery Roll Out system which allows change of batteries safely and quickly. There is no need for complicated and less safe hoisting systems.


The TX4's fully AC powered 48 volt system has been combined with Nissan's AC TECH controller to provide high levels of performance and efficiency, with significantly lower lifetime operating costs. The controller constantly monitors and communicates the forklift status such as travel speed, state of battery charge and performance mode through a multifunction LCD display to the operator.

A four-digit PIN code access system prevents unauthorised use of the truck and can be combined with pre-set parameters to match truck performance to the experience of the operator or to the needs of the load to be handled. Besides individual adjustment of various performance settings, it is also possible to pre-set up to five complete performance profiles to tailor the truck to meet the needs of individual operators and/or applications.
