New models from Doosan

Doosan has launched the NXE Series, a range of four-wheel electric counterbalance forklift trucks suited to the needs of the small-to-medium size enterprise, or where occasional usage or light duties are the norm. This electric equivalent of Doosan's 'value' GX IC engine range offers all the advantages of electric power in a series of competitively priced four-wheel models, giving occasional users a reliable low-cost 'buy new' alternative to purchasing a second-hand or reconditioned forklift truck. The range is available in four models - B20NS, B25NS, B30NS and B35NS - across a capacity range from 2.0 to 3.5 T. Doosan stresses that electric power offers clean operating performance both inside the warehouse and outside in the yard. Standard safety features include excellent all-round visibility with a clear view forward through the mast, a low front cowl to reduce blind spots and an electronic foot brake for fast, responsive braking. The models also boast roll prevention on slopes, automatic speed control when cornering, automatic parking brake, ISO 3691 hydraulic mast locking valve and an operator sensing system that only allows the truck to operate when the driver is seated. Over the coming months, the NXE Series will be further extended with the introduction of 1.5 to 1.8 T capacity models, which, together with Doosan's new NX Plus IC engine range, will offer occasional users a wide selection of 'buy new' alternatives to second-hand and reconditioned vehicles.
