The Niuli FDN Electric Forklift is a seat-operated electric counterweight forklift available in two capacity ratings — 1,600 kg (FDN16) and 2,000 kg (FDN20) — with a maximum lifting height of 6,000 mm. Designed for medium and light-duty warehouse and logistics applications, the FDN series combines quiet AC motor technology, a low center of gravity, and flexible battery options to deliver reliable, efficient performance across indoor environments.
This page covers the full product overview, key features, technical specifications, and frequently asked questions for the Niuli FDN Electric Forklift series.
The FDN Electric Forklift is Niuli's electric counterweight forklift series, engineered for operations that require clean, low-noise material handling without sacrificing lifting capacity or maneuverability. Building on proven counterweight forklift design principles, the FDN series integrates electric drivetrain advantages — including zero direct emissions and reduced maintenance — to meet the demands of modern warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution environments.
The FDN series is best suited for facilities seeking a quieter, lower-emission alternative to diesel forklifts, while operations requiring heavier lifting capacity or rough-terrain performance may be better served by Niuli's diesel forklift range.
AC Maintenance-Free Drive Motor — The FDN series uses an AC traction motor (7 kW, S2 60-min work system), eliminating brush maintenance and reducing long-term service costs.
Quiet, Low-Vibration Design — Engineered for indoor use, the FDN operates at a noise level of just 72 dB, creating a more comfortable working environment for operators and nearby staff.
Side-Extraction Battery — The battery can be removed from the side of the truck, simplifying battery swaps and reducing downtime in multi-shift operations.
Safer Electromagnetic Brake — The electromagnetic parking brake provides reliable, consistent stopping force, enhancing operator safety.
Low Center of Gravity — The FDN's low center of gravity improves stability when carrying loads, particularly at elevated lift heights.
Flexible Battery Options — Both lead-acid and lithium battery configurations are available, allowing operators to choose based on their operational cycle and budget requirements.
Superelastic Tyres — Front and rear superelastic tyres (18×7-8 front; 15×4½-8 rear) provide durability and smooth travel on warehouse floors.

The FDN Electric Counterweight Forklift is well suited for:
Warehouses and distribution centers that require quiet, emission-free indoor operation
Manufacturing facilities handling medium-weight loads (up to 2,000 kg) across flat, hard-surface floors
Multi-shift operations where side-extraction battery access reduces changeover time
Businesses transitioning away from diesel that need a counterweight forklift with familiar ergonomics and proven load stability
The FDN16 is the preferred option for lighter load cycles and narrower aisles, while the FDN20 is better suited for heavier payloads and applications where the additional 400 kg of rated capacity is regularly needed.
Q: What is the maximum lifting height of the FDN Electric Forklift?
A: The Niuli FDN Electric Forklift supports a maximum lifting height of 6,000 mm. The standard lift height is 3,000 mm, with the mast extending to 3,990 mm when the lifting frame is raised.
Q: Does the FDN Electric Forklift support lithium batteries?
A: Yes. Both the FDN16 and FDN20 are compatible with lithium battery packs in 48V/200Ah, 48V/300Ah, and 48V/400Ah configurations, in addition to standard lead-acid battery options. Lithium batteries are particularly suited to multi-shift operations due to faster charging and longer cycle life.
Q: What is the difference between the FDN16 and FDN20?
A: The FDN16 has a rated lifting capacity of 1,600 kg and a self-weight of 2,940 kg, while the FDN20 is rated at 2,000 kg with a self-weight of 3,180 kg. Fork sizes also differ — the FDN16 uses 920×100×35 mm forks, while the FDN20 uses larger 1,070×120×40 mm forks. Both models share the same AC drive system, tyre size, and electrical architecture.
Q: What aisle width does the FDN Electric Forklift require?
A: For standard 1,000×1,200 mm pallets loaded transversally, the FDN16 requires a minimum aisle width of 3,571 mm and the FDN20 requires 3,576 mm. For 800×1,200 mm pallets loaded longitudinally, the required aisle widths are 3,771 mm and 3,776 mm respectively.
Q: How loud is the FDN Electric Forklift during operation?
A: Both the FDN16 and FDN20 operate at a noise level of 72 dB, making them suitable for noise-sensitive indoor environments such as warehouses, cold storage facilities, and manufacturing plants.
Q: Can the FDN forklift be used with attachments?
A: Yes. The FDN series supports forklift attachments with an oil flow volume of 30 L/min and an operating pressure of 14.5 MPa. Contact Niuli to confirm attachment compatibility for your specific application.
