Nissan's initial steps in forklift truck production were taken in 1957 in response to the requirement within the company's own manufacturing operations. From 1965 on units were exported, initially to the USA, and from 1967 into Europe.

Nowadays Nissan has its own dedicated forklift plants in Japan, Spain and the USA. Nissan sells and services forklifts in more than 75 countries around the world.

Nissan's impressive fork truck range includes internal combustion diesel and gas forklifts, 3 and 4 wheel electric counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, pallet stackers and order pickers.

When you are investigating nissan fx5 50 (fx5 series) 5000kg counterbalance forklift in and around scotland bear in mind that in the forklift trade, as in the motorcar industry, there is a “grey market”. This is the sale of forklifts imported into the UK from foreign markets. The main problem with these units is that they look the same as UK models but most dealers can’t support them as parts are different to those on UK models and are therefore difficult and expensive to source.
