The Nexen FDL55 is a heavy-duty diesel forklift engineered for demanding outdoor operations where strength, stability, and reliability are essential. With a 5,500 kg load capacity and a 6,000 mm lift height, it delivers an optimal balance between power and maneuverability, positioning it strongly within the mid-heavy forklift segment. Designed under British engineering standards, the FDL55 offers robust construction and long-term durability at a highly competitive total cost of ownership.
Built for operator efficiency, the FDL55 provides smooth handling and responsive controls, making it suitable for continuous industrial use. The compact 2245 mm closed height allows better visibility and easier access in loading yards, construction sites, and logistics hubs, outperforming bulkier alternatives in its class.
With a maximum travel speed of 24 km/h, the FDL55 ensures efficient load movement across large outdoor sites without compromising stability. Its powertrain is optimized for consistent performance under heavy loads, making it a reliable choice for material handling operations that require dependable daily output.
Safety is integrated into the FDL55’s core structure, offering stable load handling, controlled lifting, and predictable braking behavior even under full capacity. The design prioritizes operator confidence and load security during outdoor operations and uneven surface use.
The FDL55 is designed for easy access maintenance, reducing downtime and simplifying routine servicing. With proven mechanical systems and a 2-year parts warranty, it delivers reliability comparable to higher-priced market competitors, while maintaining lower operating and maintenance costs.
The Nexen FDL55 is strategically positioned within the 5–6 ton diesel forklift segment, offering a combination of British engineering standards, robust build quality, and operational efficiency that directly addresses the key limitations found in many competing models.
Compared to higher-priced premium brands, the FDL55 delivers equivalent lifting capability, comparable structural strength, and reliable outdoor performance, while maintaining a more accessible cost structure and lower long-term ownership expenses. Against lower-cost alternatives, it stands out with stronger chassis integrity, improved stability under load, and a design focused on durability rather than short-term use.
With dual operational support through the UK for Europe and the US, and the UAE for the Gulf and Middle East, Nexen provides faster parts availability, localized service understanding, and region-specific application support—advantages that many global competitors fail to offer consistently.
This positioning makes the FDL55 an ideal solution for businesses seeking a heavy-duty diesel forklift that delivers dependable performance, strong resale value, and long-term reliability without the premium-brand price tag.
