Jiangsu Shangqi Heavy Industry Shines at the 137th Canton Fair 2025: Showcasing Smart Machinery and Green Innovation
From April 2025, the 137th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) was grandly held in Guangzhou. As a core member of Jiangsu Shangqi Group, Jiangsu Shangqi Heavy Industry Technology Co., Ltd. participated prominently under the theme "Smart Driving · Green Future", presenting its star products and new energy solutions—including
lithium-ion forklifts, electric pallet trucks, low-energy internal combustion forklifts,
wheel loaders, skid steer loaders, fork trucks, reach trucks, and more. The exhibition highlighted China’s innovative prowess in compact construction machinery to global buyers.
Thirteen Years of Industry Leadership: Building a Smart Product Ecosystem
As a benchmark in China’s compact construction machinery sector, Shangqi Heavy Industry has specialized in developing efficient, intelligent, and safe equipment since its founding in 2010. Operating from a modern 400+ mu manufacturing campus, its core team of over 80 senior R&D engineers drives continuous technological upgrades, creating a diverse product lineup for agriculture, municipal works, construction, and beyond. A standout at the fair was the SSL100 skid steer loader—powered by a Kubota imported engine, this "all-rounder" features dual-control throttle technology for precise power matching, boosting efficiency by over 30% compared to conventional equipment.
Compact Design, Big Performance: Redefining Operations in Tight Spaces
Engineered for complex environments, the Shangqi SSL100 skid steer loader excels in adaptability: its micro-sized frame navigates narrow corridors and basements effortlessly, while a unique 360° zero-turn radius allows agile maneuvering in orchards, construction sites, and indoor projects—earning it the nickname "the agile dancer of confined spaces." Smart features enhance its value: an integrated intelligent display monitors key parameters in real time, supporting fault alerts and remote diagnostics; a quick-attachment system adapts to buckets, forks, brooms, and other tools, enabling "one machine, multiple uses." In one engineering case, switching attachments allowed a single unit to handle road sweeping, waste transportation, and more, cutting overall operational costs by 50%.
Lithium-Ion Technology Drives Green Manufacturing Trends
In response to global "double carbon" goals and the electrification of construction machinery, Shangqi Heavy Industry leads the new energy transition. A 2025 project to smart-enable hydrostatic and electric machinery production lines aims to add 10,000 annual electric equipment units. The R&D team is advancing lithium-battery technology and intelligent control systems, targeting 8-hour battery life and remote camera operation to meet smart human-machine interaction needs. The exhibited lithium-ion forklift features an ultra-efficient switched reluctance motor drive, significantly enhancing runtime and energy efficiency to international leading standards. By designing core components in-house, Shangqi’s new energy lineup achieves technical breakthroughs while aligning with global sustainability trends.
Global Reach, Differentiated Edge: Winning Markets Worldwide
Thanks to technological excellence and product reliability, Shangqi Heavy Industry has secured a strong global presence, exporting to over 50 countries and regions including Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Russia—with overseas revenue accounting for 35% of total earnings in 2024. Domestically, its skid steer loaders are widely used in irrigation projects, ports, and logistics hubs, becoming essential for high-efficiency operations.
At this Canton Fair, Shangqi Group not only displayed its flagship products—fork trucks, skid steer loaders, wheel loaders, and electric pallet trucks—but also offered customized solutions tailored to regional operational conditions. "We prioritize technological innovation to address niche markets with differentiated products," stated a company representative. The future will see increased investments in smart and green R&D, with the goal of becoming a global value creator in compact construction machinery.
As global infrastructure development and agricultural modernization accelerate, Jiangsu Shangqi Group uses the Canton Fair as a window to showcase China’s "Intelligent Manufacturing" strength. From traditional equipment to new energy solutions, and from single machines to integrated services, this 13-year industry veteran is writing a new chapter for China’s equipment manufacturing sector on the global high-end stage—driven by continuous innovation.
