Against the backdrop of continuous iteration of the global construction equipment market, the performance requirements of European and American regions for diesel forklift for construction are moving towards refinement and compliance. According to the 2025 Diesel Forklift Technology Trend White Paper released by Off-Highway Research, the demand for functions such as low-noise design and quick tire change systems is growing significantly, becoming core factors affecting procurement decisions. As an equipment supplier deeply rooted in the global market, our diesel forklift for construction has passed CE/UL dual certification, perfectly adapting to strict European and American standards. The following is an analysis of the five trends and solutions.
I. Low-noise design: A compliance necessity for construction sites in residential areas
In European urban construction, 70% of construction sites are less than 500 meters away from residential areas, making noise control of diesel forklift for construction a hard indicator. Data from Off-Highway Research shows that in 2025, European procurement demand for low-noise diesel forklifts will increase by 22% year-on-year, and countries such as Germany and the Netherlands clearly require equipment noise ≤75 decibels. For example, a municipal project in Amsterdam was fined 23,000 euros for excessive equipment noise, a case that has promoted the attention to low-noise equipment across Europe.
Our diesel forklift for construction adopts triple noise reduction technology: the engine compartment is equipped with sound-absorbing cotton (reducing noise by 8 decibels), the hydraulic system integrates a muffler (reducing hydraulic impact noise by 5 decibels), and the surface of solid tires is optimized (reducing road friction noise by 3 decibels). The comprehensive noise is controlled below 72 decibels, fully meeting the EU Stage V environmental standards.
II. Quick tire change system: Efficiency revolution at North American construction sites
In the North American construction market, the tire wear rate of diesel forklift for construction is 3 times that of ordinary working conditions. The current situation that traditional tire change takes 90 minutes can no longer meet the needs of efficient construction. A survey by Off-Highway Research shows that in 2025, the demand for quick tire change systems in North America will increase by 28%. A shale oil construction site in Texas shortened annual downtime by 2,000 hours through this system, directly creating additional revenue of 120,000 US dollars.
Our solution is equipped with a patented hydraulic locking mechanism, which can complete the separation/locking of tires and wheels within 10 seconds. Combined with an intelligent tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), it can early warn of abnormal tire temperature. Test data shows that this design can reduce the time for a single tire change to 35 minutes, increasing equipment attendance by 40%.
III. Ergonomic seat: An invisible investment in operator health
Statistics from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) show that the lumbar pressure of diesel forklift for construction operators working 8 hours a day is equivalent to walking 10 kilometers with a load of 20kg, resulting in an absenteeism rate of up to 15%. In 2025, the demand for seats with dynamic support functions in European and American markets will increase by 30%. A highway project in Italy reduced the monthly sick leave rate of operators from 12% to 3% by replacing intelligent seats.
The seat of our diesel forklift for construction adopts a bionic S-shaped frame, and the memory foam cushion has a built-in temperature sensing module (automatically adjusting air permeability from -5℃ to 40℃). The armrest integrates a multi-functional operating handle (reducing arm movement distance by 40%). Certified by TÜV Germany, this seat can reduce the operator's fatigue accumulation rate by 37%, especially suitable for mining scenarios with 12-hour continuous shifts.
IV. Explosion-proof certification: Access pass for chemical industry zones
With the upgrading of safety standards in the European and American chemical industries, diesel forklift for construction with ATEX/IECEx certification has become a necessity for oil depots and chemical plants. Data from Off-Highway Research shows that in 2025, the procurement volume of explosion-proof forklifts in European chemical zones will increase by 35% year-on-year. A project in the Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, was delayed by 6 weeks because the equipment failed to pass the IIB T4 certification.
Our full range of diesel forklift for construction has passed CE/UL explosion-proof certification: the engine compartment adopts a positive pressure ventilation design (preventing flammable gases from entering), the electrical system integrates a spark arrester (energy release ≤0.2mJ), and the hydraulic pipeline is covered with conductive rubber (eliminating static accumulation). In a field test at a refinery in Spain, the equipment still operated stably in an environment with a methane concentration of 1.2%, and its explosion-proof performance exceeded the industry standard by 15%.
V. CE/UL dual certification: "Passport" to open the global market
Facing the strict access barriers in Europe and America, our diesel forklift for construction has completed CE (EU) and UL (US) dual certification, becoming one of the few Asian brands that meet the regulations of both regions. For example, in response to the EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards in the North American market, we have integrated DPF (diesel particulate filter) and SCR (selective catalytic reduction) dual modules in the engine after-treatment system, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by 90% compared with the previous generation.
In an iron mine project in Minas Gerais, our diesel forklift for construction successfully passed Brazil's INMETRO mandatory certification with CE certification, and its failure rate was 50% lower than that of local mainstream brands. This confirms the effectiveness of the "global certification + localized adaptation" strategy — our equipment maintains an attendance rate of more than 98% in extreme environments such as European alpine regions (-30℃ cold start), Middle Eastern high-temperature deserts (55℃ continuous operation), and Southeast Asian rainforests (95% humidity).
Global certification + localized service: Our equipment adapts to construction sites in 180 countries
As a member unit of China Construction Machinery Industry Association, our diesel forklift for construction has passed more than ten certifications such as ISO, EU CE, and BV France, and our products are sold in more than 180 countries and regions around the world. For the European and American markets, we have set up a spare parts center in Germany (4-hour response) and a technical service station in the United States (covering 50 states) to ensure that the equipment operates stably in environments with -30℃ extreme cold or 55℃ high temperature.
