The Evolution of Nissan Forklift Throughout the Years
Initial Beginnings in Japan
In 1957, Nissan manufactured their very first industrial forklift truck. Forklifts were first manufactured in large quantities by Nissan’s Shinnikkokukogyo Co. Ltd. in 1961. This was accomplished by installing an assembly line at Japan’s company’s Totsuka Plant. In 1965, Nissan began producing its forklifts for distribution in the United States. Barrett Industrial Trucks Inc., based in the United States, was purchased in 1988 to begin domestic production of its forklifts in the US. Nissan Motor Ibercia S.A. was established in 1989 to facilitate the company’s international expansion of its forklift business.
North American Production
In 1993, Nissan Forklift Corp. in North America formally opened its doors, marking the beginning of a merger between the company’s forklift production and sales operations. The Nissan YM01 forklift was a very popular model. After it had separated from Nissan Motor Iberica in 1995, the company established a new Spanish firm for its forklift business under the name Nissan Forklift Espana S.A.
Nissan Partner with Mitsubishi
A circumstance somewhat similar to this one was the impetus for the founding of Nissan Forklift Europe B.V., which occurred when the company severed its ties with Nissan Europe N.V. In the year 2000, Nissan made public their intention to form a strategic partnership with another major Japanese manufacturer, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In addition, Nissan Forklift was established in Shanghai, China, in the year 2002. Atlet AB of Sweden became a member of the Nissan Group in October of 2007. In addition to the Nissan YM01, Nissan made many other forklifts and material handlers.

Nissan Manuals
With several different systems at work, there are numerous Nissan forklift manuals for YM01 to help mechanics addressing an issue. Depending on the problem, the repair could require a service manual, parts catalog, wiring diagram or even a hydraulic schematic, if there are issues at the fork. The mechanic should always refer to a factory approved manual direct from Nissan to ensure a complete repair done right.
