Overview

Anhui Heli Co., Ltd. (合力) is one of China's largest manufacturers of forklifts and industrial material-handling equipment. The company traces its roots to a state-owned machinery enterprise established in Hefei, Anhui Province, in the late 1950s, and grew into a dedicated forklift producer as China's industrial base expanded. Today it operates under the Anhui Heli Group and is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under the ticker 600761, making it one of the few publicly traded pure-play forklift makers in China. Heli's product range covers internal combustion counterbalance forklifts, electric forklifts, warehouse equipment such as reach trucks and pallet trucks, and increasingly automated handling solutions including AGVs and lithium-battery models. The company sells under the Heli (合力) brand in China and exports under the Heli name to markets across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa and Oceania. Its distribution network includes domestic sales subsidiaries and overseas dealers, and it has pursued international expansion through export growth and overseas service presence. As a Chinese industrial brand, Heli competes with global material-handling majors such as Toyota Industries, KION Group and Jungheinrich, as well as domestic rivals. Its positioning emphasizes reliability, a broad product line, domestic scale and value pricing, with growing investment in electrification and smart logistics. The company is headquartered in Hefei, Anhui, and remains closely associated with the Anhui provincial industrial base.

History

Anhui Heli's origins lie in the industrial development of Hefei, Anhui Province, in the late 1950s, when a state-owned machinery enterprise was established that would later focus on forklift production. Over the following decades, as China's manufacturing and logistics sectors expanded, the enterprise became a dedicated maker of forklifts and material-handling equipment, adopting the Heli (合力) brand. In the 1990s, like many Chinese state enterprises, the business underwent restructuring and corporatization. Anhui Heli Co., Ltd. was formed under the Anhui Heli Group, and the company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under ticker 600761, giving it access to public capital for capacity expansion and technology upgrading. This listing helped fund a broadened product line and modernization of manufacturing. Through the 2000s and 2010s, Heli expanded its domestic sales network and accelerated exports, establishing a presence in international markets and competing with global material-handling brands. The company invested in electric and warehouse equipment as Chinese and global demand shifted toward cleaner, more efficient handling solutions. It also developed lithium-battery and automated guided vehicle offerings in response to electrification and smart-logistics trends. Today Anhui Heli remains headquartered in Hefei and is one of China's best-known forklift brands, with a product portfolio spanning internal combustion and electric forklifts, warehouse equipment and related services. It continues to pursue international growth and technological upgrading in material handling.
