Our History
Hangcha Group was founded in 1956 in the Zhejiang Province. We initially
began as a tool machining plant that provided repair services to local industries. Two years later,
we started manufacturing equipment for the metallurgical and mining industries. In 1974,
Hangcha Group completed the trial production run of our first forklift, the CZ3. By 1983, Hangcha Group
manufactured over 10,000 forklifts. Since then, Hangcha Group has developed a full line of forklifts,
become the top forklift manufacturer in China, and is ranked 8th on the
list of global material handling manufacturers.
