The Nexen FDR160-6 Diesel Forklift is a high-capacity industrial forklift designed for extreme-duty outdoor material handling applications. With a rated load capacity of 16,000 kg and a maximum lift height of 7000 mm, this model excels in environments where strength, reliability, and continuous performance are essential. Its robust engineering and advanced diesel powertrain make it ideal for use in ports, steel yards, outdoor logistics centers, large industrial sites, and construction zones.
Compared to other forklifts in the 16-ton class across the UAE, UK, and European markets, the FDR160-6 stands out for its combination of load capacity, lift height, travel speed, and structural durability. While many competitors compromise stability or uptime at high capacities, the FDR160-6 maintains consistent performance with a design optimized for demanding outdoor use. The included 2-year parts warranty reinforces Nexen’s commitment to quality and long-term reliability.
The FDR160-6 is engineered for efficient, intuitive operation with a focus on operator control and productivity. The operator station is designed to provide clear visibility in all directions, supporting safe and accurate maneuvering of heavy loads even in busy outdoor environments. Controls are positioned logically for ease of use, and the responsive hydraulic and powertrain systems deliver predictable handling.
Compared with similar 16-ton forklifts, the FDR160-6 provides smoother steering response, more precise hydraulic control, and better stability during travel and load handling. These operational advantages contribute directly to increased throughput and reduced operator fatigue in continuous shift environments.
The performance of the FDR160-6 is engineered to meet the highest demands of heavy industrial operations:
Its diesel powertrain delivers consistent torque and efficiency for continuous heavy-duty use, ensuring performance over long work cycles without frequent refueling.
With a max travel speed of 25 km/h, the forklift provides efficient movement across large outdoor facilities, supporting rapid transport of heavy loads across yards and docks.
Excellent traction and stability characteristics enable confident operation on uneven terrain, ramps, and outdoor surfaces.
The significant lift capacity and height make the FDR160-6 suitable for high stacking and multi-tier racking systems, where consistent performance under load is critical.
In direct comparison with other forklifts in this class, the FDR160-6 demonstrates higher operational uptime, more dependable load handling, and better performance in harsh outdoor environments, making it a superior choice for businesses relying on heavy material throughput.
Safety is integral to the design of the FDR160-6, supporting secure operation under heavy loads and challenging outdoor conditions:
A low center of gravity and robust chassis construction contribute to enhanced stability, reducing the risk of tipping even when lifting to maximum height.
Reinforced overhead guard and mast structures protect the operator and maintain structural integrity in demanding use.
Braking and steering systems are designed to deliver controlled, predictable response, supporting safe load travel and positioning.
Clear lines of sight through the mast and from the operator cabin improve situational awareness, a critical factor when handling large loads in outdoor settings.
Compared with other 16-ton diesel forklifts, the FDR160-6 offers improved structural safety and better stability under load, which can significantly reduce workplace incidents and improve overall site safety performance.
The FDR160-6 is engineered for ease of maintenance and high uptime, minimizing lifecycle operating costs:
Key components, including engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems, are designed for easy access, reducing the time and cost associated with routine servicing.
The diesel powertrain is built for durability and reliability, supporting long service intervals and fewer unscheduled repairs.
Simplified hydraulic layouts reduce the number of potential leak points and decrease maintenance complexity.
The inclusion of a 2-year parts warranty reinforces confidence in component longevity and reduces parts-related operating costs.
In comparison to other heavy-duty 16-ton forklifts, the FDR160-6 typically requires less frequent maintenance and provides a lower total cost of ownership, helping fleet managers maximize productivity and achieve stronger return on investment.
