This guide helps warehouse operators, dealers and procurement buyers spec an electric forklift for export. Work through capacity and load centre, voltage and motor type, battery chemistry, charging setup, mast height and attachments — each decision narrows the model. HONGLI’s electric counterbalance range (1–5 t) runs 60–72V AC drive motors with brushless hydraulics and a lead-acid battery, with a lithium upgrade optional; three-wheel models add a tighter turn. Bring your duty cycle and we will turn this guide into a quoted spec.

FAQ
What capacity and load centre do I need?
Start from the heaviest load you lift at the standard 500 mm load centre, then add a margin for the attachment and for loads carried further from the heel of the forks. HONGLI’s electric counterbalance range covers 1–5 t; send the load and we confirm the rated capacity at your load centre.
What voltage and battery?
HONGLI’s electric forklifts run a 60–72V AC drive system with brushless hydraulics, which suits most indoor warehouse and handling duty. The voltage rises with capacity, and a lead-acid battery comes as standard, sized to your shift.
Lead-acid or lithium?
Lead-acid costs less up front and suits single-shift work; lithium costs more but charges faster and lasts longer, paying back on multi-shift or opportunity-charging duty. HONGLI ships lead-acid as standard with a lithium upgrade optional — tell us your shift pattern.
How do I import one?
Send your capacity, voltage, battery and mast needs with your destination port and quantity, and HONGLI quotes FOB factory-direct. Add your own freight, duty and clearance to compare the landed cost against a local-brand truck.
