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 FGL18 is a 1.8-ton diesel forklift designed for compact, high-efficiency industrial lifting in warehouses, distribution centers, and rental fleets in the UK, Europe, USA, GCC, and beyond. It combines extra foot space, suspended pedals, and an adjustable steering wheel for maximum operator comfort. Optional electro-hydraulic proportional control delivers precision and responsiveness for delicate or heavy loads. The fully floating powertrain and advanced vibration damping system minimize stress on components, extending service life and reliability. The twin-cylinder mast and reduced diameter lifting cylinders provide unmatched forward visibility. The ergonomically designed driver cell includes an intuitive LCD display, easy-to-reach forward/reverse and lifting controls, and an armrest, making long shifts effortless while maintaining peak productivity. Nexen combines these innovations with global industrial standards and performance levels comparable to Toyota, Hyster, Mitsubishi, Jungheinrich, Linde, Still, Clark, and Yale, establishing the FGL18 as a forklift with global recognition and unmatched operational excellence.
Engineered for seamless indoor and outdoor performance, the FGL18 navigates tight warehouse aisles, rental operations, and industrial yards with precision and stability. Its compact frame allows agile maneuvering while the responsive hydraulics, vibration-absorbing chassis, and precision steering provide smooth and predictable load handling. Operators experience maximum confidence during lifting, placement, and transport of loads up to 1.8 tons, ensuring efficiency across all international markets where Nexen forklifts operate.
The FGL18 delivers robust lifting capabilities up to 7 meters while maintaining safety, balance, and control. Its 18 km/h travel speed is optimized for safe and productive operation. Industrial-grade construction, precision-engineered drivetrain, and long-lasting diesel engine allow continuous operation in warehouses, logistics centers, ports, and rental fleets globally. The forklift’s performance consistency, low maintenance requirements, and durability make it a preferred solution for professionals who demand global-standard industrial equipment.
Safety is embedded in the FGL18 through a low center of gravity, stable mast design, and precise hydraulic control. Operator-focused features such as wide non-slip steps, ergonomic seating, and superior forward visibility minimize risk during lifting and movement. These integrated safety elements ensure operators and managers can rely on the FGL18 in high-demand industrial and rental applications worldwide.
Nexen designed the FGL18 for minimal downtime and simplified maintenance, with accessible components, durable materials, and long-life industrial-grade systems. Predictive maintenance options and globally supported after-sales service across Europe, UK, USA, and GCC ensure rapid parts availability and expert support. Operators and rental fleets benefit from cost-effective, reliable, and productive equipment, making the FGL18 the ultimate choice for global material handling.
