Find the perfect Hangcha forklift for your needs
Hangcha Forklift Categories
Hangcha has 8 different forklift categories designed to suit different operations. All forklifts are not the same and not every forklift will work for every application. The main things that you need to consider when choosing the best forklift include:
The Load Capacity: The load capacity is the recommended maximum weight that your forklift is designed to carry. You should know the weight of the loads that you want your forklift to be moving and lifting when you are purchasing your forklift. Lifting above the recommended capacity of your forklift is dangerous and will damage your machine.
Where Your Forklift Will Be Used: Where you plan to use your forklift (indoors, outdoors, or both) will affect the type that you choose.
The Dimensions of Your Facility: The dimensions of your facility including the height, width, and turning radius of your aisles will play a large role in your selection of the best forklift for your needs.
The Type of Power You Want: You can choose from electric, electric with lithium-ion batteries, or propane-powered Hangcha Forklifts depending on your situation.
Taking all of the above into consideration before you buy will help to ensure that you make the right choice.
Load capacity, the power you want, the size of your facility, and where you want to use your Hangcha forklift will determine the type you choose
Electric Hangcha Forklift
Great for Indoor Applications: Electric forklifts are your perfect choice for indoor applications as they don't give off harmful emissions, this makes them safe for indoor use.
Safe for Working Around Food: In addition, if your warehouse stores food products, then electric forklifts are your only option as they won't give off the harmful emissions that are dangerous for food.
3,000 - 10,000lb Capacities: Hangcha electric forklifts come in a range of lifting capacities from lighter-duty models that lift 4,000lbs to larger pneumatic ones that can lift up to 10,000lbs.
Cushion or Pneumatic Tires: You will want to choose an electric forklift with cushion tires if you want to use your forklift indoors as they work well on smooth surfaces and one with pneumatic tires for outdoor applications as they are designed for rough, uneven surfaces.

Narrow Aisle Hangcha Forklift
Great for Warehouses: Hangcha's selection of narrow aisle forklifts are the perfect choice for warehouse applications.
Perfect for Small Spaces: It's no good getting a forklift that is too big to fit comfortably into your facility. If your aisles are narrow, then you need to purchase a narrow-aisle model.
In addition to how wide your aisles are, you need to also look at how much space you have at the ends to make sure that the forklift you choose will navigate easily around those corners.
Great for High Racks: Roof and rack heights vary between facilities. You want to purchase a forklift that is going to be able to reach high enough to accommodate your highest racking. Hancha has a great selection of reach trucks and order pickers that can help you get to those hard-to-reach areas.

Hangcha Electric Pallet Jack & Stacker
Great for Smaller Loads: Hangcha pallet jacks and stackers are a perfect choice if you need to move smaller loads across shorter distances. They are less expensive and easier to operate than a full-size forklift. If you don't need to reach the lifting capacity of a forklift, then this is a great alternative.
Many Applications: Pallet jacks work well in warehouses, construction sites, and retail operations where you need to move pallets from one location to the next.

IC Cushion Hangcha Forklift
More Power: If you need more power in your forklift, then an internal combustion engine (IC) can provide that for you.
Good for Indoor Use: An IC cushion forklift can be used indoors if you are not storing food products. Hangcha offers a great selection of Propane powered IC cushion forklifts. However, you do need to follow safety procedures to make sure that there is no risk of your workers being exposed to high concentrations of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. When using propane forklifts indoors:
Make sure that your facility has proper ventilation
Make sure that you keep your propane forklift engines well maintained
Make sure that you change the propane tanks outside or in a well-ventilated area away from anything that could ignite the gas
Only allow trained individuals to handle, refill, and store the liquid propane fuel
Cleaner Fuel: Propane is a cleaner-burning and usually less expensive fuel than gas or diesel.

IC Pneumatic Hangcha Forklift
Great for Outdoor Applications: The larger pneumatic tires of the Hangcha IC pneumatic forklift will give you the extra traction required for moving over rugged surfaces found outdoors and particularly on construction sites.
Designed for Heavier Loads: Hangcha's IC Pneumatic forklift will give you the extra power and lifting capacities that you need for tackling heavier loads.
Cleaner Fuel: Propane is a cleaner-burning and usually less expensive fuel than gas or diesel.
Pneumatic tires are better for outdoor applications
Rough Terrain Hangcha Forklift
Perfect for Rough Terrains: If you need your forklift to operate on rough terrains, then choose a rough terrain Hangcha forklift. These rugged machines are perfect for the uneven ground found at construction sites, railway yards, and shipyards.
