Optional Equipment
Operator Comfort and Control
A spacious operator compart-ment provides generous foot, leg and head room for a variety of driver sizes. A standard full suspension, fold down seat with soft touch arm pads and hip restraints provides maximum operator comfort and enhanced safety. Its low profile design offers ample head clearance,while front to back travel adjustment allows a comfortable,customized fit for nearly any operator height.
The Platinum G04’s, tilt adjustable steering wheel helps the operator quickly find his or her ideal driving position, while its compact design offers enhanced control and handling. Hydrostatic power steering mini-mizes steer effort and operator fatigue. Hydraulic boosted brakes offer reduced pedal effort and improved brake durability.An optional swivel seat produces greater operator comfort and visibility while driving in reverse, and includes a rear assist grip with horn button to further enhance operator productivity. Automotive-style light and turn signal levers simplify repetitive actions allowing the operator to focus on the job. An optional auto tilt leveling system assists proper mast/fork positioning.
Enhanced comfort results from the Platinum G04 Series’Operator Comfort System,which includes a full suspension seat, cushion floor mat, pedals mounted to the chassis frame,and rubber shock absorbers located throughout the vehicle to reduce vibration from the engine and transmission to the operator.For additional vibration reduc-tion, Platinum G04 Series includes an automotive-type floating powertrain design,which incorporates four rubber engine/transmission supports.The G04’s chassis has been designed with a low center of gravity (CG), with the roll center of the rear axle mounted close to the CG, for enhanced stability.
The G04 features tandem hydraulic pumps, with one pumpfor lifting and one pump for the power steering and brake boost-er. A priority load sensing control valve allows the steering/brake pump to supply hydraulic oil to the lift system when not required for steering/braking.
Enhanced Work Environment
Several standard features are included in the Platinum G04 Series to deliver a more comfort-able and productive work environment for the operator and those in the surrounding area.
The Nissan engines offer extremely low noise levels at the operator’s ear during idle and at maximum travel speeds. For the TB45 engine, an optional travel speed control feature is available to control high or low maximum travel speed settings, while the optional controlled acceleration’s economy mode adjusts throttle sensitivity to increase fuel efficiency, extend drivetrain life and reduce excessive tire wear.The two-speed models feature an automatic transmission with reduced shift shock due to short-ened shift time lag and utilization of an optimized shift schedule.
The Platinum G04’s Operator Presence System, with seat-actuated power interrupt,incorporates a mast-lock which automatically locks lift and tilt operations when the operator leaves the seat, and a return to neutral feature to minimize forklift movement if the operator leaves the seat while the lift truck is still in gear. This presence system also includes audible and visual warnings if either the seat belt is not engaged, or when the parking brake has not been applied prior to the operator exiting the compartment.
For easy entry/exit from either side, welded metal assist grips,combined with a replaceable metal traction plate bolted to the truck’s wide, low entry step,provide the operator with sure,comfortable footing and grip for this often repeated task. Our own swing-down LP bracket design uses a gas spring assist to reduce operator effort during tank replacement.
Durable Design Features
The G04 Series is built for tough-ness, with a robust mast, strong frame, thick steel fenders, and 5-ton truck drive and steer axles on all models.
The G04’s superior cooling system consists of an oversized fan and wide cooling outlet, for enhanced airflow, and a heavy-duty radiator, with transmission oil cooler, rubber mounted to reduce flexing and absorb vibration for enhanced reliability. Its improved cooling capacity translates into dependable cooling efficiency under heavy usage or high ambient temperatures.
A heavy-duty steer axle, cast for improved axle strength, protects the steer cylinder from damage,while steer cylinder boot covers keep out dirt and debris. The rear axle ball joints, with dust covers for protection against dirt, include grease fittings for easy lubrication to provide longer life and steering ease.
Lift cylinders include oil return piping for reduced heat generation and extended life. The counterweight is designed to deflect cooling airflow down and away from the truck, and it features a built-in radiator protection bar. IP55 & IP65 rated control modules,combined with a wiring harness with sealed connectors, provides protection against dirt and corrosion.
Ease of Maintenance
Tilt cylinders can be greased without removing any body panels. One bolt removal allows the two-piece floor-board to be lifted off, promoting simple access to hydraulic compo-nents. Detachable side panels and a wide-open clamshell hood provide a roomy area for service technicians to perform their tasks. The five-piece reinforced overhead guard simplifies replacement of individual compo-nents if necessary, saving time and money. A window in the floor board allows for quick and easy brake fluid checks.
A multi-function LCD display includes on-board diagnostics to keep service time low, with a programmable service reminder in order to stay current with periodic maintenance needs. Its display design provides the operator with excellent visibility and understanding of warning indicators.

Electronic Fuel Injection Engine Technology
Platinum G04 Series’ LP and Dual Fuel models are powered by Nissan’s own TB45 (4.5 liter) electronic fuel injected industrial engine. Its Electronic Concen- trated Control System (ECCS) analyzes engine performance parameters and optimizes engine operation, resulting in enhanced productivity and lower fuel consumption. This system includes three main components:Engine Control Module (ECM),Vehicle Control Module (VCM), and Multi-function LCD Display.
The ECM responds to sensor input to control basic engine related functions, such as proper air/fuel ratio, torque and speed, based on the requirements of the application. The VCM monitors a number of sensors to alert the operator of changing con-ditions via a full range of warning indicators located on the truck’s LCD display. All communication among these components occurs through a Controller Area Network (CAN)system.
The TB45 industrial engine is specifically designed and tested for industrial applications in order to deliver the power and torque to meet the needs of the application. As an added safeguard for your investment,the Platinum G04’s TB45 engine includes an engine/transmission protection and warning system to reduce engine rpm in the event of excessive heat generation or loss of oil pressure.
Low Emission Engines LP/Dual Fuel
Nissan Forklift’s global commitment to preserving and protecting the environment is evident in the Platinum G04 Series’ ECCS engine, providing exceptionally low emission levels that are well below EPA Tier II and CARB requirements. Nissan Forklift is the first lift truck manufacturer to receive EPA and CARB certification for their own line-up of industrial engines,setting us apart as the world leader in clean air engine technology. The TB45’s combination of ECCS,automotive-type closed-loop design,and three-way catalytic converter provides enhanced fuel economy and lower exhaust emissions.
Diesel
The TD42 diesel industrial engine offers improved fuel consumption and near elimination of particulate matter, with emission levels well below EPA Tier III requirements. A completely new, electronically regulated, Quick Glow System results in considerably reduced glow times, providing faster engine starting in cold weather.
