The fork lift market is mainly going to be between Japanese and Chinese manufactures.This is why the Japanese government who were major shareholder s in unicarrier got Mitsubishi to purchase them instead of selling to KION who are now seen as a chinese company,a lot of management decisions on KION are now made in China.the Two big Japanese manufactures of Toyota and now Mitsubishi will continually grow their business at the expense of smaller manufactures.Companies like Hoist will survive from having deals like. Hoist have already done with Toyota wich is a good deal for Hoist.companies like Kalmar,Sany,konecranesTerex new co will survive as special maufactures of low number special machines like container handling equipment and high capacity fork lifts.Other companies will have to look at ever local markets or having something different to offer to survive in this new environment in five to ten years time the number of manufactures will be greatly lower
