What is the difference between SKD and CKD?

SKD ships semi-knocked-down (partly assembled); CKD ships completely knocked down for full local assembly. Both cut freight and can lower import duty.

Which models are available as kits?

The diesel and electric forklift ranges and the wheeled and tracked skid-steer loader ranges.

Q: Do you support local assembly?

Yes — assembly support, parts planning, packing guidance and technical documentation are included.

HONGLI ships forklifts and loaders as SKD (semi-knocked-down) and CKD (completely-knocked-down) kits for partners who assemble locally. Knock-down kits cut freight volume and, in many markets, lower import duty versus fully built units. HONGLI provides the kit, assembly support, dealer spare-parts planning, packing guidance and technical documentation so your team can build to spec. Kits are available across the diesel and electric forklift ranges and the skid-steer loader range, shipped factory-direct from Tai'an, Shandong, with a 12-month warranty. Tell us your destination and assembly capability for a kit plan.
