About the UniCarriers Nomad®
The uniquely flexible UniCarriers Nomad® is a great choice when you need an indoor/outdoor lift truck. Built on a smaller frame, the compact chassis provides tight handling in confined warehouse spaces and rides on solid pneumatic tires that enable it to traverse on paved outdoor surfaces.
The Nomad® is available in 3,000, 3,500 and 5,000-pound capacities and works on a variety of surfaces, from warehouse floor to loading dock to service yard. It is powered by the Nissan K21 industrial engine, a low-emission engine that runs on LPG, with an optional gas/LP dual-fuel system.
The Nomad®’s seamless indoor/outdoor capability eliminates the need to set up staging areas and transfer loads, maximizing the productivity of your operation. The highly agile hybrid combines the best of both cushioned tire and pneumatic tire models for easy maneuvering in tight spaces.
This rugged forklift features a spacious operator compartment that incorporates a seat with weight adjustment, lumbar support and excellent visibility, as well as a seat-actuated Operator Presence System for driver and vehicle security. It can also be customized to meet your specific applications.
Sit-Down or Stand-Up Forklifts?
Choosing the right forklift is important for your business. It can affect everything from productivity and stock management to operation costs. Royal Forklift can help you decide which option best suits your budget.
The traditional sit-down forklift is a common choice, but there are some factors to consider before making a decision.
- What will the work environment be for your forklift? Will the equipment be working on smooth or rough surfaces? Will it be used inside, outside, or both?
- Will operators be required to maneuver the forklifts through narrow aisles or around sharp corners?
- Will the forklift be used for long periods of time? How often does the operator need to get on and off of the machine?
- What percentage of time will the forklift be used for long distance trips versus small, hop on/hop off trips in which the operator is constantly moving on and off the lift?
- Would a stand-up forklift or a sit-down forklift increase your productivity?
In sit-down forklifts, drivers are typically positioned face-forward and need to twist their back and shoulders for reverse travel. Stand-up forklifts, on the other hand, allow the operator to easily turn his or her body in many directions.
Depending on the workload, a stand-up forklift could make operations more efficient, but it may require operators who are accustomed to traditional sit-down forklifts to undergo some simple training on the safe and efficient operation of stand-up forklifts.
At Royal Forklift, we recommend going over your needs and comparing them to the operational characteristics of each forklift. Our knowledgeable team will be more than happy to answer your questions and help steer you in the right direction.
