The partnership is dedicated to meeting the specific requirements of the Chinese market. Konecranes Lift Trucks are available in over 80 countries through both appointed distributors as well as country-specific Konecranes operations. In both cases customers have access to a full range of spare parts as well as personalised service and maintenance. Konecranes distributors are some of the most respected in the lift truck business. “Our commitment to the Chinese market started over a decade ago when we made a landmark decision in 2007 to start assembling lift trucks in Lingang, outside of Shanghai. There are now hundreds of these lift trucks in operation”, says Lars Fredin, Vice President and Head of BU Lift Trucks at Konecranes. He continues, “This new distribution agreement with Rong Shun Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd means that we now have very strong representation in China. The success and experience Jim Yu and his team bring to the cooperation is very important to Konecranes”.
