As goods manufactured in China’s industrial parks become increasingly innovative, so are the machines operating within these zones. Improved material-handling technology in particular has given rise to new ideas and better industrial equipment. Due to the increased demand for these machines, new companies providing innovative and up-to-date technology have emerged.
BX50 Series Forklift
Komatsu

In industrial parks, forklifts are commonly used to move heavy loads. The new Komatsu BX50 Forklift, a highly reliable and fuel-efficient series, is built for longevity to reduce lifetime costs.
Although the BX50 series uses an internal combustion engine for power, its environmentally friendly design has reduced exhaust emissions to levels lower than standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At the same time, the trucks meet standard specifications with a load capacity of 3.5 tons and masts that can reach up to 6 meters, depending on the model.
The BX50’s design emphasizes safety and ease of use. A trademark characteristic of Komatsu’s forklifts is the structure of the mast, which has a window and low profile dash display, giving the operator an unrestricted view of the fork tips to prevent accidents. The forklift is also designed with a cushion mount to isolate and protect the operator from floor and engine vibrations. It can detect when no one is operating the vehicle and will automatically lock for safety.
CBD20H Pallet Truck
Lonking Forklift

Pallet trucks are now ubiquitous in China’s industrial parks because they are compact yet able to lift loads up to 2000 kilograms. The small and sturdy CBD20H Pallet Truck is energy efficient and easy to maneuver.
This model comes with improved safety features including an innovative auto-brake control system, an emergency reversing device and a pressure relief valve to protect the truck in case it is overloaded. However, because some of the electronic components are imported, its price is higher compared to previous models. Buyers must pay for an added sense of security.
An electrically powered vehicle, the CBD20H runs on a high-performance battery, albeit a 140 kg one. However, a clever side-rollout design makes the battery easier to replace than previous models.
TSP (Turret Stockpicker) 6000 Series
Crown Equipment

Space is a valuable commodity when aisles between storage racks may be only about 1 m wide, which isn’t enough room for the majority of lift trucks.
Moving and storing products is complicated, especially when racks reach heights over 10 m. Before the creation of the Crown TSP 6000, companies had to buy two separate machines: a turret truck to reach higher items on racks and an order stock picker to fit in narrow aisles to reach lower level goods.
The TSP model has the ability to reach up to a height just over 12 m and has a load capacity of 1360 kg. Its small design allows it to maneuver through narrow aisles, and the TSP is able to reach lower level items even in spaces that are only a few centimeters wider than the machine itself.
The rail of the driver cab tapers off near the front instead of extending across the entire width of the cab, creating space for the driver to move into the aisle unhindered. As companies try to increase production efficiency and reduce costs, the TSP 6000’s multitasking ability makes it useful for logistics handling in industrial parks.
XGS560 Sideloader Lift Truck

As opposed to a more traditional front-loading forklift, sideloaders specialize in carrying long items such as logs and steel rods that are hard to transport because of their irregular shape.
The XGS560 Sideloader is one of XGMA’s trademark machines and is widely used in industrial applications. Its sleek design gives the truck a clean and modern appearance.
Compared to previous models, the new sideloader is able to carry loads of up to 6 tons to a height of almost 3.5 m, making most tasks easy for an operator to manage.
One of the more innovative aspects of the truck’s design is the structure of its lift platform. It is adjustable and the angle of the mast can be tilted a few degrees up and down. This allows more mobility for the driver to maneuver the lift in order to handle different products. The sideloader’s sheer force and power makes it a sound option for companies looking for a way to transport long and heavy materials in bulk.
With improved efficiency, more safety features and higher specifications, the newer XGS560 model allows operators to work confidently. At the same time, the truck runs on a powerful diesel engine. Still, there are concerns that the truck’s emissions are dangerous.
QUY100 Crawler Crane
Sinoway Industrial

Although they are typically used on construction sites, cranes are now widely used in the transport industry for lifting freight that is otherwise too heavy or large for normal lift trucks to handle. By using a fully hydraulic system, the QUY100 Crawler Crane has a lift capacity of 100 tons, allowing it to move most loads with ease. This model also has a reach of up to 73 m, and along with its full 360 degree rotation, can cover a wide area in order to lift and drop from one point to another efficiently.
With cranes, there are concerns about mobility and the fuss of assembly, which the QUY100 improves upon to some extent. A crawler, the crane runs on treads and its base is built almost like a tank so that it can move while holding a load and is unlikely to tip over when unbalanced. It is also easy to assemble and disassemble, posing only a minor hassle for operators.
The crane uses a top-of-the-line diesel powered Cummins engine. With improved rigidity and stronger steel cables to support more weight, the QUY100 model is designed for power and convenience.
