Nexen Lift Trucks has introduced its X-Range of counterbalanced forklift trucks comprising seven models with capacities from 2.0 to 3.5 tonne. The FDX diesel 2.5, 3 and 3.5 tonne units are powered by a choice of either Kubota or Yanmar engines whilst the LPG versions in 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 tonne capacities are offered with a choice of Nissan or GM power units.

In addition, the X-Range is available in three distinct packages with a multiple choice of drivetrain configurations: Standard, Optima and Optima Plus. Optima offers a split powershift transmission as well as a controlled deceleration system, heavy-duty cooling system and modulated control for fast changes of direction. Optima Plus adds an anti rollback system, oil cooled disc brakes, an advanced inching control and soft-touch electronic hydraulics.

Nexen offers a standard 2 year, 2000 hour warranty which, as an option, can be extended to 3 or 5 years.

There are a number of interesting details on X-Range models. For example, besides opening to almost the vertical position, the entire hinged engine cover/seat assembly can be removed in less than two minutes without tools and the side panels are non-structural and designed to be repaired or replaced if necessary.

The range features a sturdy one-piece chassis and low centre of gravity for good torsional rigidity and stability. They are also equipped with ‘Smart Dash', a full engine monitoring system, which triggers both audible and visual advance warnings via a LCD display unit covering all major engine functions. This system will automatically switch off the engine if any problem is not rectified within a specified time in order to prevent damage.

User comfort comes from the use of a fully floating driver's cell, which is attached to the chassis using high quality, anti-vibration dampers. In addition, the machines are fitted with rubber-mounted steer axles.
