1. The main forklift manufacturers in India are Godrej, Voltas, Swaraj, McNeil and Jost. But there are many Distributors in India who import foreign forklifts and supply spares and services from here. Infact we are importers for Nichiyu Forklifts of Japan for the past year or so, Nichiyu only makes electric Forklifts and we have already sold about 30 forklifts with in the past eight months and there are many inquiries in the pipe line.
