Designed for safety

Suffolk-based Nexen has designed its latest X-Range of counterbalanced forklift trucks with health and safety considerations taking as much priority as reliability and performance.

All models have a spacious, fully floating and vibration isolated driver's cell with adjustable suspension seat and steering column. In addition, a strong overhead guard, fully isolated from the chassis, is said to ensure maximum protection, while driver fatigue is minimised thanks partly to low noise levels.

The Optimal version of the XRange features DPS, a driver presence sensing system, which automatically locks off all hydraulic functions and drive to the transmission if the operator leaves his seat.
