Japan's Pioneer in Electric Forklift
NICHIYU ASIALIFT PHILIPPINES, INC.
Our History
Nichiyu invented the Platter reach forklift truck, our flagship product,
in Japan in 1937.
The Platter was named because it was commonly used on train
station platforms in the years following its development.
This name has been adopted throughout Japan as the generic
name for the reach forklift truck.
Nichiyu boosts a wide assortment of models with capacities ranging from
0.9 to 4 metric tons. It is available in numerous variations including a
side-loading model, multidirectional model, and a cold environment specification. Sales exceed 170,000 units during the 50 years
this product has been in production.
We began exporting the Platter around 1965. It has long been a top-selling product and has been widely adopted in many countries, primarily in Asia, as the optimal truck for handling
cargo inside warehouses.
Nichiyu developed Japan's first explosion-proof electric forklift in 1965.
In 1965, Nichiyu utilized its experience in the manufacture of explosion-proof electric locomotives for mines to develop Japan's first explosion-proof reach forklift truck.
While demonstrating the same class of function as Nichiyu's standard reach forklift trucks, this explosion-proof electric forklift featured an electrical system incorporating parts that met the explosion test requirements of the Industrial Safety Institute of the Ministry of Labor in effect at that time. This innovation enhanced the safety of material handling operations at sites in which forklift trucks handled explosive gases and flammable liquids.
The introduction of explosion-proof forklift trucks contributed significantly to the rationalization of material handling operations at sites where forklifts could not previously be used to handle propane and other explosive gases.
