Ordering & Payment
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is 1 unit. Container loading is on request — units per 20GP / 40HQ are confirmed by model, mast, battery and packing. Mixed models can be consolidated in one shipment.
What payment terms do you accept?
Standard terms: 30% T/T deposit, 70% balance before shipment. Irrevocable L/C at sight is accepted for orders above USD 30,000. Trade Assurance or escrow can be arranged for first-time buyers who want extra protection.
How long is the production lead time?
Lead time: 30–45 working days after deposit (standard models). Custom masts, attachments, brand colors or OEM decals add 5–10 working days.
Shipping & Documents
Which shipping port and Incoterms do you use?
We ship from Qingdao Port, China, quoting FOB Qingdao, CIF, CFR and EXW. Weekly sailings serve major ports, with 15–25 days transit time.
How many forklifts fit in one container?
On request — units per 20GP / 40HQ are confirmed by model, mast, battery and packing. Masts are detached and re-secured on arrival, and we provide loading photos plus reassembly instructions with every shipment.
What export documents come with the forklifts?
Each shipment includes commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and Certificate of Origin, plus the declaration documents your customs broker requires.
Product & Application
Lithium or lead-acid battery — which should I choose?
Lithium (LiFePO4) suits multi-shift, high-temperature sites: sealed against dust and moisture, no watering, 2-hour fast charge, opportunity charging, and BMS protection up to 45 °C ambient temperature. Lead-acid suits single-shift sites that have a dedicated charging room and a lower upfront budget.
Which forklift size should I import first?
For most markets the 2.0–2.5 t class covers the majority of pallet work (see the
FS-CPD20). Add 1.5 t machines for light retail work and 3.0–3.5 t for outdoor yards. We will confirm sizing from your pallet weight, lift height and floor conditions.
Warranty & After-Sales
What warranty do you offer?
Warranty: 12 months / 2,000 hours on the machine; 5 years / 10,000 hours on lithium cells. Wear items such as tires, brake pads and filters are excluded.
How is after-sales service handled in my country?
Each order includes English manuals, operation and maintenance videos, and remote video support from our engineers. A 2–3% spare parts kit ships with the container, and wear parts are released within 48 hours of confirmation. In active markets we appoint exclusive distributors and provide technician training.
Can I inspect the forklift before shipment?
Yes. You may inspect in person, by live video call, or appoint a third-party inspection company (SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV). Every unit already passes our own 100% load test before export packing.
Partnership
Do you offer OEM or ODM service?
Yes. From 10 units we apply your brand decals, colors and manuals; from 50 units we support deeper ODM changes such as custom mast specifications and attachment integration.
Do you support distributor partnerships?
Yes. Our distributor program offers territory exclusivity, demo-unit pricing, marketing materials, spare-parts stocking plans and video-based technician training. Contact us with your market and annual volume target to apply.
