Tcmgirl is exactly right. All major OEM's have a factory based in China to manufacture product for the Asian market. It just wouldn't make sense to make forklifts in the US and float them to China to sell. However, US manufacturers such as Toyota, Crown, Komatsu and TCM do NOT import any product manufactured in China. All forklifts sold in the US are manufactured in the US or Japan except for maybe counterweights which can sometimes be imported from the Chinese factories due to the exceptionally low cost of the castings.
