Chinese forklifts "TFN" are assembled at the Chinese plant Hangzhou Forklift Truck from Japanese and American components. Most of the nodes are similar to the Hangcha technique in order to simplify maintenance.

The brand has been known under its current name since 1993. It attracts consumers with a low price of equipment, spare parts and components, as well as a five-year warranty for accessories. In Russian TFN dealerships, you can repair units of any complexity, purchase equipment on lease, make a wholesale purchase of equipment.

The range includes three groups of forklift trucks:

R series;

J series;

series Y.

The Chinese concern, which emerged after the merger of 18 small enterprises in 1956, presented the world with the first forklift after almost 20 years of operation. The official status of the manufacturer of forklift trucks "Khancha" received in 1978. The demand for the products arose immediately, and 10 years later the company produced the millionth unit.

Today Hangcha produces fewer than 80,000 warehouse equipment annually, most of which are forklift trucks. They are presented in four series - R, J, XF, A.

Hangcha R models are equipped with a gasoline / diesel engine, also running on gas fuel. Carrying capacity - up to 18 tons. Series J - technology with an electric motor. It differs from analogs on liquid fuel in a minimum of vibrations, high performance, and reduced cost. Lifts loads weighing less than 5 tons.

The Hangcha XF Forklift includes advanced technical solutions. Supplied with a gas, petrol or diesel engine, however, it is inferior to the R series in terms of carrying capacity (no more than 5 tons).

Serie A rolled off the assembly line in 2014. Its carrying capacity is up to 3.8 tons, and its distinctive feature is its modern design.
