The Nexen FDL40 is a 4,000kg diesel forklift engineered to dominate the mid-capacity outdoor material handling segment. Designed to British engineering standards, it combines industrial-grade durability, structural stability, and cost-efficient ownership, positioning it as a stronger alternative to both budget imports and overpriced premium brands.
Unlike many 4-ton forklifts that compromise on frame strength, the FDL40 features a reinforced chassis and optimized counterweight balance, ensuring consistent performance in logistics yards, warehouses, ports, and construction-related operations.
Built for daily outdoor operation, the FDL40 delivers smooth and predictable handling across uneven surfaces. Responsive steering, stable mast movement, and excellent operator visibility allow precise load control, reducing operational errors and improving cycle times compared to lighter-duty competitors in the same class.
With a load capacity of 4000kg, a maximum lift height of 6000mm, and a top speed of 24 km/h, the FDL40 is optimized for high-throughput material handling. It outperforms many competing diesel forklifts in its segment by maintaining load stability at height, rather than focusing solely on headline capacity figures.
This makes the FDL40 a preferred choice for businesses searching for a reliable 4 ton diesel forklift for outdoor use, capable of sustained operation without performance degradation.
The FDL40 prioritizes structural safety and load control, using a low center of gravity and rigid frame construction to ensure safe operation under full load. Its stability-focused design offers greater confidence in busy outdoor environments where safety margins matter more than electronic add-ons.
Engineered for low downtime and straightforward servicing, the FDL40 provides easy access to key components and proven diesel technology. Supported by Nexen Lift Trucks’ UK headquarters for Europe and the USA, and its UAE hub for the Gulf and Middle East, customers benefit from faster parts availability, regional technical support, and long-term operational reliability—an advantage that many global competitors cannot consistently match.
