Charlotte, NC: On April 27th, 2023, HC Forklift America Corporation (HCFA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hangcha Group, will discontinue our Lead Acid powered product line.  Following Hangcha’s “New Energy” initiative, HC Forklift America will focus on promoting our lithium-ion and fuel cell powered equipment in the material handling industry. Our new energy initiative does not affect our line of I.C. powered equipment. Instead, our line of new energy powered equipment is meant to provide an alternative to I.C. powered equipment for customers looking to go green.

Although we are discontinuing lead acid powered equipment, HC Forklift America Corporation is still committed to providing our existing lead acid powered forklift customers with comprehensive service, aftermarket support, and a 10-year cycle with the parts supply.

Hangcha is committed to developing quality material handling equipment and building a green tomorrow in the United States. Driven by science and technological innovation, Hangcha is making a strategic adjustment away from traditionally powered product and moving towards new and innovative powered material handling equipment. 

“We’re going GREEN!” says Frank Russo, Vice President of Sales and Dealer Development, “Let’s embrace the change and enjoy the benefits from this new technology. It’s our tomorrow, today.”
