In the first half of 2018, the forklift industry again a new record

The forklift industry in 2018 can be described as ups and downs, because in the first half of the year, under the international environment, trade friction and anti-dumping between China and the United States pointed to China, and on the other hand, our domestic manufacturing industry was also in a difficult situation due to environmental protection, safety and other measures.

However, we can see from the sales situation of the first half of 2018 announced by the industrial vehicle Association of the national construction machinery industry association that the total sales of forklifts in the first half of 2018 reached 307577, breaking 300000, once again breaking a new record. There is no doubt that it will once again become the first country in the production and sales of forklifts. Among them, the sales of new energy forklifts continues to rise. The sales volume of domestic independent brands reached a new high. For example, heli forklift and Hangzhou forklift continue to lead the whole industry, and their share in the international market is also increasing.

From what we have learned from the forklift market this year, most enterprises maintain an optimistic attitude towards the forklift market in the second half of the year. We can not change the external environment. What enterprises can do is to make the best of their products and do their own business.
