In recent years, domestic forklift industry developed at a fast rate. As the key product, internal combustion engine forklifts had always been ranked at the top in terms of sales and marketing. Along with the calls for environmental protection, electric forklifts that were green and eco-friendly attracted more attentions and became the developing tendency of forklift industry in the future. The fast growth of logistics industry and the upgrade of manufacturing industry in China impelled more and more foreign trades on forklift manufacturing. After DEMO and Eoslift had entered electric forklift manufacturing industry, Shanghai Gather-power Industry Co., Ltd. as another exporter focusing on foreign trade also announced in October 2012 that they would be officially engaged in electric forklift manufacturing, injecting new power into the forklift industry.

General Manager Liu from Shanghai Gather-power told Chinaforklift.com (www.chinaforklift.com, English version: www.forkliftnet.com) that the company held the idea of beginning the manufacturing of electric forklifts several years ago while last year, they actually put this idea into practice. After sufficient preparation in no more than half a year, the company completed the initial investment of 15 million Yuan. In October, Shanghai Gather-power gained the national production license, and started to produce electric warehouse trucks.

While forklift industry in China experienced fast development, the competition on the market was increasingly fierce. Together with the more opening of production technology and clear way of market development, the concentration of forklift industry was enhanced. Forklifts from sole-funded and co-funded manufacturers as well as imported forklifts kept the dominant position on high-quality forklift market, while quality forklifts were still highly demanded. Domestic forklift manufacturers should improve their competitive forces to stand steadily on the market.

Shanghai Gather-power has several years’ experiences in the field of selling forklifts, and it was expected that they would go further in this industry.
