Heli continues its move up the global forklift rankings

Heli Americas is pleased to report that Anhui Heli has once again made a significant move up the global listing of Forklift manufacturers and is now ranked number nine in the world for 2012. Previously ranked number eleven by the same dhf-intralogistik's survey this move represents a 25.4% sales growth from 2011 to 2012. Other industry rankings for 2012 include Anhui Heli as number eight as shown by Modern Materials Handling based on their August 1, 2012 issue. This impressive growth by the number one supplier in China, Anhui Heli is fueled by their growth in both the world and US markets. Modern Materials Handling had ranked Anhui Heli number ten in 2011. Revenues have grown from $815 million to $1 Billion in 2011 per dhf-intralogistik's survey in ForkliftAction.com. dfh also showed Anhui Heli manufacturing 100,000 units in 2012. With this move to the position of the number nine global manufacturer Anhui Heli ties Nissan and passes Komatsu, Clark and Doosan in this important ranking.

Heli Americas, based in Memphis, Tennessee, was created in 2007 to provide both Material Handling Dealers and their customers with a top quality product. The Heli forklift line is rugged in both design and componentry, without the complex technology (and its associated acquisition and repair costs) that has become all too prevalent in the material handling industry today.

Heli Americas has retained Bruce Pelynio as President/CEO and partner to direct the growth of Heli Americas. Bruce brings 32 years of experience in the material handling industry with manufactures including Allis Chalmers, Toyota and Yale.
