Chinaforklift.com: From the aspect of the whole industry, Heli is deemed to make indelible contributions to the development of the industrial vehicle sector. What is your opinion on the tendency of the industry in the future?

Li Hao: I think the development of industrial vehicle industry in China has been keeping a relatively fast rate and there is a large market demand on industrial vehicles. We will continue to perform better from two aspects: on one hand, we have to further improve the product quality so as to accord with the requirements of customers on the delivery; on the other hand, we need to develop innovative products tailored for different applications on the market. Working on these two aspects, we can better meet the demands of the market, better satisfy the requirements of the customers, and earn more marketing shares in future.

Chinaforklift.com: Thank you for receiving our review, Mr. Li. We believe Heli will march forward and become a stronger national brand on the international stage.

Notes:

Heli has a prospective future on the export of heavy duty forklift, which has become the new economic increasing point in the company. With innovative design, compact structure and elegant appearance, the heavy duty forklifts in Heli were applied with the standard configuration and advanced technology, stating in the leading position in China and reaching the first-level in the world. Heli made reasonable optimizations on the key components such as engine, transmission, driving axle, hydraulic system and breaking system. The transmission was installed with Engine Control Unit (ECU) system, convenient and easy to be controlled. The forklifts were equipped with the fault code indicator, making the maintenance and repair more convenient. The hydraulic system on 14-18 ton forklifts was devised with variable control system, featured with energy saving, no overflow loss, high efficiency and effective reduction of oil temperature. The emission of the forklifts was complied with the latest standard, realizing the eco-friendly concept.
　
In the recent three years, lots of changes happened in the field of heavy duty forklifts. Heli accumulated mature technology of product design and development, and continued to develop innovative products on this basis. Heli insisted in the principle of offering customer-oriented service by taking the demands of the customers as the guide for sales service, and explored an independent and innovative development model to launch diversified products according to different demands of the market.

We are confident with Heli’s future. Wish the heavy duty forklift department in Heli march to a much wider development space to undertake the mission as the leading enterprise in the forklift enterprise in China to make more contributions to the development of national industrial vehicle industry.
