The Nexen FDR160-12 Diesel Forklift is engineered for high-capacity outdoor industrial material handling, combining exceptional strength, durability, and performance in a forklift designed to meet the most demanding workloads. With a load capacity of 16,000 kg and robust build quality, this model is suited for heavy industrial environments including ports, steel fabrication yards, transshipment terminals, bulk handling facilities, and large distribution hubs.
What separates the FDR160-12 from other forklifts in the 16-ton class across UAE, UK, and European markets is its focus on outdoor optimization and operational consistency. While many competitors in this segment offer similar rated capacities, the FDR160-12 delivers enhanced structural rigidity, superior load control, and extended uptime, making it a leader in its category. Supported by a 2-year parts-only warranty, it delivers confidence and long-term cost predictability for fleet operators.
Key Features:
Rated load capacity of 16,000 kg for high-demand industrial lifting
Purpose-built outdoor durability for heavy terrain and rough surface operations
Reinforced mast and chassis engineered for continuous heavy-load cycles
Warranty coverage that underscores component reliability and quality
The operational design of the FDR160-12 prioritizes operator control, consistency, and ease of use. The driver’s station is engineered to promote clear visibility, intuitive control engagement, and sustained performance over long shifts.
Operators benefit from a well-arranged control layout that supports smooth lift and steer coordination, even under full rated load. The responsive hydraulic system improves material placement accuracy, while the diesel powertrain delivers predictable torque and speed control required for outdoor operations. In contrast to many forklifts in its class, the FDR160-12’s design minimizes operator strain during extended use, which contributes to higher throughput and fewer operational errors.
Compared with other 16-ton outdoor diesel forklifts, the FDR160-12 provides a balanced combination of operational control and ergonomic design, directly supporting increased productivity in heavy industrial environments.
Performance for the FDR160-12 is engineered to match the needs of continuous heavy industrial use while maintaining reliable service life and consistent output.
The robust diesel powertrain delivers stable torque and fuel-efficient power delivery, ensuring responsiveness under full load without excessive fuel consumption. Reliable travel and lifting performance allow the forklift to handle heavy loads throughout demanding schedules without frequent downtime. Because the FDR160-12 is optimized for outdoor environments, it maintains traction and stability across uneven surfaces and industrial yards.
When benchmarked against similar 16-ton diesel forklifts in the UAE, UK, and European markets, the FDR160-12 demonstrates competitive operational uptime, dependable load handling, and continuous performance in harsh outdoor conditions, giving fleet operators confidence in both efficiency and long-term reliability.
The design of the FDR160-12 incorporates safety features that support secure handling of heavy loads in robust environments.
Stability is enhanced through a low center of gravity, reinforced mast frame, and heavy-duty chassis structure, particularly important at full rated capacity. The forklift’s reliable braking and predictable steering behavior assist operators in maintaining control during both loaded and unloaded operations. Large sightlines through the mast structure and well-designed operator compartment improve visibility, reducing the risk of collisions and positioning errors.
Compared with other 16-ton forklifts, the FDR160-12’s focus on structural stability and operator visibility supports safer operation and helps reduce incident rates across outdoor industrial settings.
The FDR160-12 is designed for efficient serviceability and extended operational life, supporting reduced maintenance costs and consistent uptime.
Engine, transmission, and hydraulic components are positioned for straightforward access during routine servicing, reducing labor time and maintenance interruptions. The diesel powertrain and simplified hydraulic layout contribute to fewer potential failure points, supporting longer service intervals and lower lifecycle costs.
The 2-year parts-only warranty emphasizes Nexen’s confidence in component quality and durability. When compared to other heavy-duty forklifts in the 16-ton class, the FDR160-12 typically requires less frequent servicing and lower long-term maintenance investment, enabling fleet managers to achieve higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership.
