Latest lift trucks focus on ease of maintenance

Built to exacting standards using premium quality components, and featuring the signature Nexen 'X' range fully floating cabin, the machines are said to provide exceptional operator comfort and ergonomics to help reduce driver fatigue.

The complete range incorporates high capacity DIN-STD batteries for multiple shift operations with fast and easy side entry battery removal. In pre-launch application tests the trucks exceeded all design expectations, for stability, reliability, driver comfort, performance and energy efficiency.

The new electric-powered 'X' range has been designed with high emphasis on ease of maintenance and features easy accessibility to all serviceable parts, including the control panel which is removable in less than 2 minutes. Nexen will be offering a service exchange programme to ensure any downtime is kept to a minimum.

The FBXT and FBX machines feature regenerative braking promoting longer battery life, and improved energy efficiency. The automatic parking brake ensures no adjustments are required, again reducing equipment maintenance requirements. 

Nexen worked closely with the Curtis Wright Corporation whose new rotary position sensor has been specified for use on Nexen’s British-designed and manufactured forklift trucks using a Nexen purpose-designed steering axle. Both three and four wheel models benefit from bespoke versions of Curtis Wright’s sensors, which are being used to detect steering, position and direction. The feedback from the sensor is then displayed to the operator via the on-board diagnostic display, thus the outputs can enter into safe pre-defined status should an internal sensor error be detected.
