I don't want to be a party pooper, but let's not let things get out of hand here. Keep in mind we're an international forum and language barriers are a real thing.

No, just saying, keep things on track with the spirit of Heavy Equipment Forums or I'll shut this thread down.

Well chinese heavy equipment....had never been a big hit in north america...they are way behind in their technology...and in there safety equipment....for instance they do not have counter balance valves in the lift system. No chain ratings...and no csa rating on electrical...so i am not against trying chinese equipment for low time/ budget minded places....but as front line equipment...chinese manufacturing has a way too go....it is not just labor costs that make american equipment expensive...it is safety stuff...parts networks...service networks...litigation...and most importantly reliability...

Folks - Chinese forklifts are NOT equal to North American trucks. The Hancha truck (5000# LPG model) does have a Nissan engine...but it has a Hangcha transmission, Hangcha mast (using Chinese steel), Hangcha steer axles using Chinese steel, and Chinese wearables (bearings, bushings, cylinders, etc.). These components on other Chinese trucks have failed prematurely, over and over again. If someone wants a new truck to work a couple of times a week, ok, then buy one, or buy a used main brand unit from a long-time dealer. Simply put, Chinese trucks will not match North American equipment for performance over time, reliability, and lowest cost of ownership. Low capital price is always a trap that does not end well.

Used Chinese forklifts here are scrap value - but a 50 year old Clark or Yale forklift still brings good money. That speaks volumes for old Clark and Yale build quality and design.

The problem with Chinese forklifts have been outlined well by rondig. I could add Chinese bearings are also part of their problems. Steel quality and hardness is seriously lacking in Chinese bearings.

Then there's the failure to provide good quality operation and repair manuals written in excellent English. Surely the forklift companies in China can afford to get these produced and checked for accuracy and quality?

This is a thread from 2019 but with user name Hangaforklift123, my guess is it's someone affiliated with Hanga fork lifts looking for (hopefully positive) feedback.
