The latest X-Range counterbalanced
forklift trucks from
Nexen are designed with
operator safety as a key
consideration. They feature a
spacious, floating and vibrationisolated
driver’s cell with fully
adjustable suspension seat and
steering column – all aimed at
minimising the transmission of drive
train vibration to the operator.

In addition, a strong overhead
guard, fully isolated from the chassis,
further boosts protection. Driver
fatigue is said to be minimised due
to the low level of noise.

The Optimal versions of the range
feature DPS, a driver presence
sensing system that automatically
locks off all hydraulic functions as
well as drive to the transmission if
the operator leaves his seat.

Optimal + models go a step
further by incorporating an antirollback
system; Nexen has
developed a system for its torque
converter drive trucks which, once a
dashboard mounted switch is
pressed, will automatically apply the
brakes when the forklift stops.
