Hangcha Australia is the official Australian branch of Hangcha Group, building forklifts since 1956. We supply lithium electric, diesel and LPG forklift trucks from 0.6 to 48 tonnes, plus reach trucks, pallet jacks and scissor lifts, from warehouses in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, backed by local parts, service and a national dealer network.
Looking for a new forklift for sale in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or elsewhere in Australia? Hangcha covers almost every major forklift type, all backed by genuine parts, nationwide service and a full manufacturer warranty.
1.3 to 18 tonne capacity across 3-wheel and 4-wheel models. Fast charging and low-maintenance lithium packs keep trucks running through long and multi-shift hours.
Scissor lifts with lift heights from 5.9 to 13.8 metres, and articulated booms reaching up to 28 metres. For maintenance, installation and work at height, indoors and out.
Reach trucks lifting up to 3 tonnes and 13 metres, order pickers, and turret trucks for aisles under 1.6 metres. Fit more pallets into the warehouse you already have.
Side loaders for long loads, container stackers handling up to 45 tonnes, tow tractors and AGVs. Specialised trucks for jobs a standard forklift can't do.
The right forklift comes down to three questions: what you lift, where you drive and how long you run. Match capacity and lift height to your heaviest load and highest beam, choose lithium electric for sealed indoor floors or diesel and LPG for yards and slopes, then tell us your site and we'll recommend a model.
Not sure which fits? Tell us your load, site and hours, and we will recommend a model and connect you with your nearest dealer.
A forklift is only as good as the support behind it. Hangcha Australia backs every truck with genuine spare parts stocked locally, scheduled and breakdown servicing through our dealer network, flexible service contracts, and operator familiarisation training. Warranty claims are handled directly through our Australian service portal, not an offshore call centre.

Forklift FAQs
Should I buy an electric or diesel forklift?
For indoor work on sealed floors, electric is now the better buy for most operations. It offers lower running costs, no emissions and less maintenance. Diesel remains the right choice for outdoor yards, rough ground and heavy capacities above 5 tonnes.
Do you sell direct or through dealers?
Hangcha forklifts are sold and serviced through authorised dealers across Australia, backed by our national warehouses and support team. Contact us and we’ll connect you with your nearest dealer.
Do I need a licence to operate a forklift in Australia?
Yes. Operating a counterbalance forklift requires an LF high risk work licence. Order pickers and turret trucks with an elevating operator platform require an LO licence, issued by your state’s WorkSafe or SafeWork authority.
How much does a forklift cost in Australia?
Forklift prices depend on lifting capacity, power type, mast height, attachments and battery choice, so a compact lithium electric truck and a heavy-duty diesel model are priced very differently. Lithium electric forklifts usually cost more upfront but less to run, while diesel and LPG forklifts have a lower purchase price but higher fuel and servicing costs. Tell us your load, lift height and site and we will arrange a quote through your nearest authorised Hangcha dealer.
Do you have forklifts in stock in Australia?
Yes. Hangcha Australia holds forklift stock and genuine spare parts in our warehouses in Dandenong South (VIC), Smeaton Grange (NSW) and Meadowbrook (QLD). Availability varies by model and configuration, so contact us or your local dealer for current stock and delivery times.
What warranty comes with a Hangcha forklift?
Every new Hangcha forklift comes with a factory-backed manufacturer warranty. Warranty claims are handled directly through our Australian service portal and authorised dealer network, not an offshore call centre. Your dealer will confirm the warranty terms for your specific model.
