Extra foot space to reduce operator fatigue significantly along with a wide, non-slip step makes getting in and out easy and safe.
In addition to rubber dampers between the frame and steer axle, the engine and a fully floating power train, vibrations from the drive system are significantly reduced.
The electro-hydraulic proportional control system provides more sensitive and precise load handling. The easy to operate levers provide total load handling control and combined with an armrest, reduce fatigue.
The smaller diameter front lifting cylinders, and twin cylinder configuration, gives the operator superior forward visibility.
With suspended pedals, an easy to read LCD display, small diameter steering wheel with tilt adjustment and ergonomically designed light, turn and forward /reverse levers, the driver cell has been designed with a focus on comfort and productivity.

The Nexen FDL35 is a 3,500kg diesel forklift engineered for high-demand outdoor material handling where strength, stability, and lift height are critical. Built to British engineering standards, the FDL35 is designed to compete directly with global 3.5 ton forklift models while offering superior structural balance and long-term durability.
With a maximum lift height of 7000 mm, the FDL35 stands out in its class, making it a strong alternative to standard 3–3.5 ton forklifts that are limited in vertical reach. Its reinforced chassis and optimized counterweight configuration provide consistent load control across a wide range of applications.
Designed for professional outdoor operations, the FDL35 delivers predictable handling and stable maneuvering on uneven ground. The forklift’s operating geometry supports smooth lifting, controlled lowering, and confident travel, allowing operators to work efficiently in logistics yards, industrial sites, and loading areas.
Compared to many forklifts in the 3.5 ton segment, the FDL35 maintains better balance at height, reducing operator correction and improving cycle efficiency.
With a load capacity of 3500kg, a lift height of up to 7000mm, and a maximum travel speed of 17 km/h, the Nexen FDL35 is optimized for continuous outdoor material handling rather than short-duty cycles.
This performance profile places it among the most versatile forklifts in its category, capable of handling heavier loads at greater heights than many competing models that share the same nominal capacity but fall short in real-world operation.
The FDL35 is engineered with structural safety as a core design principle. Its low center of gravity, rigid frame construction, and stable mast configuration ensure secure load handling under full capacity, particularly when lifting to higher levels.
This focus on mechanical stability provides a safety advantage over competitors that rely heavily on electronic systems rather than fundamental structural integrity.
Designed for global sales and long-term ownership, the FDL35 features a straightforward layout that supports efficient routine servicing and reduced downtime. Proven diesel technology and accessible components make it suitable for diverse operating environments worldwide.
Backed by Nexen Lift Trucks’ UK headquarters serving the UK, Europe, and the USA, and regional operations in the UAE, Gulf countries, and Egypt, the FDL35 is supported by an international sales network capable of supplying forklifts to customers globally.
