Marengo,

Nissan Forklift Corp.'s QX Series offers safety, efficiency and value. The QX Series of 80-volt electric lift trucks, featuring four models ranging from 4,000- to 6,000-pound capacities, use 80-volt, 100 percent AC power, resulting in fast travel and lift speeds with lower operating costs than comparably sized engine-powered forklifts.

It is supported at all four corners of the mast structure, for phenomenal torque resistance. Using "sandwich" construction, the drive unit for the SC8000 is strong, while weighing 850 lbs. The drive unit runs on 19 sets of tandem rollers, evenly spreading the loads into the mast structure through all four corners of the frame. A secondary support frame attached to the top of the drive unit provides for the massive loads and deck lengths.
