Discussion:
Hangcha, Maximal, UN

There are a lot of Chinese/Asian forklift manufacturers, looking to gain entry into the US market/ITA. What are your thoughts on Hangcha, Maximal and UN Forklift? Anyone have any experience with any of the three? I'd be interested in hearing your opinions...

Hangcha is a old chinese forklift manufactuer in China, now ranked no.8 worldwide.This means the quality is steady,the thought maybe old, and they did not care about small customers a lot. Maximal and UN forklift are new one, only have several years manufacture experiences. The design and idea is new and updated, the quality is also ok, but the service is better than Hangcha, as well as the delivery time, more short.

No pain, no gain.
Hi Tampa2 Ive had the misfortune to come across a few different makes of Chinese forklifts not a pleasant experience lol.
Plus points price they are cheap
minus points unreliable, very badly put together and abysmal quality control, parts backup just about non existent, tech support from the manufacturer about as good as parts backup.
People point out that European manufactures are now having trucks built in china true but with European quality control. take my advice steer well away form any of the 3 names you mentioned above also Heli and any others made in China
