In the 1980s, China began introducing electric forklift technology, initially primarily using DC motor drives.
In 1995, Shanghai Beili Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. produced the first domestic 1.5-ton fully electric forklift.
In 2008, AC drive technology became widespread, improving equipment energy efficiency by approximately 30%.
In 2019, intelligent sensing systems began to be applied to high-end models, enabling automatic obstacle detection.
In 2022, the national standard GB/T 43974-2024 "General Specifications for Electric Material Handling Equipment" was completed, setting stricter standards for equipment safety performance.
