ZOWELL Participates in Drafting Three Industry Standards for Narrow-Aisle Industrial Trucks   Contributing to Industry Standardization Through Technical Expertise and Innovation ZOWELL Intelligent Forklift has recently received three certificates recognizing its participation in the drafting of industry standards for narrow-aisle industrial trucks, issued by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Trucks. According to China's National Public Service Platform for Standards Information, the following three industry standards, with ZOWELL listed as one of the participating drafting organizations, were officially published in 2025 and have been implemented successively between 2025 and 2026:   JB/T 15163-2025 – Three-Way Stacker Trucks JB/T 15162-2025 – Bidirectional and Multidirectional Trucks JB/T 15091-2025 – Forklift Attachments: Three-Way Attachments The publication and implementation of these standards represent further progress in establishing a standardized framework for narrow-aisle industrial trucks and their key attachments in China. As one of the participating drafting organizations, ZOWELL contributed its technical expertise and practical experience gained through years of research, development, manufacturing, and application of narrow-aisle material handling equipment. Active Participation in Industry Standard Development   On July 12–14, 2023, an expert review meeting for the draft standards of Three-Way Stacker Trucks and Bidirectional and Multidirectional Trucks was held in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Entrusted by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Trucks, ZOWELL undertook the organization and coordination of the meeting, supporting the experts throughout the review process and facilitating technical discussions and standard evaluation. Following multiple rounds of discussion, review, and revision, all three standards were officially published and subsequently implemented. ZOWELL is listed as the fourth drafting organization in both the Three-Way Stacker Trucks and Bidirectional and Multidirectional Trucks standards. This reflects the company's accumulated technical expertise and practical experience in the narrow-aisle forklift sector, as well as its contribution to the development of industry standards. Through its participation, ZOWELL shared valuable insights from product development, manufacturing, and real-world applications, helping translate industry experience into standardized technical requirements. The two standards covering complete vehicles establish requirements for basic parameters, technical specifications, test methods, inspection rules, markings, accompanying documentation, transportation, and storage. They provide important technical references for product development and manufacturing, as well as for equipment selection and quality evaluation by end users. In addition to the two complete-vehicle standards, ZOWEL...

Recently, ZOWELL Intelligent Forklift Co., Ltd. received three certificates of participation in industry standard drafting from the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Trucks. This recognition highlights ZOWELL’s technical expertise and continued commitment to standardization in the narrow-aisle forklift industry. According to China’s National Public Service Platform for Standards Information, all three standards have been officially published and implemented: JB/T 15163-2025, Three-Way Stacking Forklifts; JB/T 15162-2025, Bidirectional and Multidirectional Forklifts; and JB/T 15091-2025, Forklift Attachments — Three-Way Attachments. ZOWELL ranks fourth among the drafting organizations for both complete-vehicle standards. Covering both narrow-aisle forklifts and their key attachments, the three standards establish requirements for basic parameters, technical specifications, testing methods, inspection rules, product marking, accompanying documentation, transportation, and storage. The standards provide a consistent technical basis for product manufacturing, quality evaluation, and equipment selection, while the three-way attachment standard further strengthens technical requirements at the component level. In July 2023, ZOWELL was entrusted by the standardization committee to organize and host the expert review meeting for the draft versions of the two complete-vehicle standards in Suzhou. As one of the drafting organizations, ZOWELL contributed practical experience accumulated through years of narrow-aisle forklift development and real-world applications. Today, ZOWELL’s man-up three-way forklifts can achieve lifting heights of up to 18 meters, demonstrating the company’s continued efforts to advance high-density warehousing technology. Technical innovation and standardization work reinforce each other, supporting safer and more efficient narrow-aisle operations. Receiving these three certificates marks another milestone in ZOWELL’s commitment to technological innovation and industry standardization. Looking ahead, ZOWELL will continue to advance narrow-aisle forklift technology and intelligent material-handling solutions, actively contribute to industry standards, and support the high-quality development of the industrial truck industry.

In October 2026, Suzhou welcomed a group of young footballers from the Czech Republic for an international youth football tournament. During their stay, ZOWELL Intelligent Forklift was delighted to help make their visit to China a memorable experience, bringing together sport, cultural exchange, and industrial innovation.   Discovering the Charm of Suzhou Beyond the football pitch, the visit offered the young players an opportunity to experience the culture and modern development of Suzhou. The ZOWELL team accompanied the Czech visitors on a tour of the city, including the iconic Gate of the Orient and Jinji Lake. They also explored the historic Shantang Street, enjoyed a traditional boat ride, and experienced the unique atmosphere of this city where Chinese heritage meets modern urban life. These shared moments created opportunities for cultural exchange, friendship, and a deeper understanding of life in China.   From the Football Pitch to the Factory Floor On October 21, ZOWELL welcomed Mary, a member of the Czech delegation, to visit the company's facilities and learn more about its electric material handling equipment. During the visit, Mary had the opportunity to see ZOWELL's forklift products up close, including the VUE16 man-up VNA forklift. He also helped capture photos and videos of the equipment, providing a closer look at the machines and their practical features. The visit offered a glimpse into ZOWELL's commitment to developing electric forklift solutions for demanding warehouse applications, including narrow-aisle operations where efficient space utilization and safe handling are essential. For ZOWELL, it was also a valuable opportunity to connect its international business relationships with a more personal exchange, allowing a younger generation to see Chinese manufacturing firsthand.   More Than Business: Building Lasting Connections At ZOWELL, international cooperation is about more than products and transactions. Trust is built through communication, mutual respect, and shared experiences. Welcoming the Czech football delegation to Suzhou was a small but meaningful example of how connections between people can bring countries, cultures, and industries closer together. As ZOWELL continues to serve customers and partners around the world, we remain committed to building long-term relationships through reliable electric material handling solutions, professional support, and a spirit of openness and cooperation. Different countries, shared passion, lasting connections. ZOWELL Intelligent Forklift looks forward to creating more opportunities for international exchange and cooperation in the future.

In August 2026, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on the surging overseas demand for Chinese-made material handling equipment under the headline "Domestic forklifts go global, orders extend into Q4." Behind the heat lies a clear thread: global warehousing and logistics customers are shifting from "buying a forklift that works" to "buying a solution that saves space, runs clean and fits their own operation." For Zowell, a manufacturer built around narrow-aisle electric forklifts, that thread matches the direction it has long pursued.   The Numbers: Demand Is Upgrading, Not Just Growing According to CCTV, in the first seven months of 2026 China's forklift sales reached 1,009,773 units, up 17.7% year on year, while exports rose 22% to more than 380,000 units. The footage showed production lines running at full capacity: in Zhejiang, several manufacturers hold orders into the fourth quarter, and one electric pallet-truck line rolls out a unit every two minutes, with around 90% bound for overseas markets across nearly 100 countries and regions. China now accounts for more than 35% of the global electric forklift market — the world's largest single market for electric models. CCTV framed the growth as an upgrade in demand: Chinese forklifts are moving from internal combustion to electric, and from simple handling to intelligent decision-making. Analysts cited by the report attribute the momentum to strong cost-performance, energy efficiency and rising overseas appetite for low-carbon equipment. As buyers abroad write "electric, space-saving and customizable" into their specifications, the basis of competition has changed.   Narrow-Aisle: Helping Customers Store More, Spend Less Real competitiveness was never about the lowest price — it is about helping customers get value from every square meter. In conventional wide-aisle warehouses, much of the floor is given to operating aisles rather than usable storage, persistently dragging down space utilization. With Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) forklifts at its core, Zowell narrows the aisle width to reclaim wasted floor, raise storage density and improve space utilization — without expanding the building footprint. As land and labor costs keep climbing, this translates directly into a lower cost per stored unit. For distributors, manufacturers and third-party logistics operators, narrow-aisle electric handling is no longer a niche choice but a practical response to cost pressure: store more in the same area, move goods more smoothly at the same volume.   Electric and Clean: Built for Low Carbon from the Ground Up Zowell's narrow-aisle products are developed as electric platforms from the start, not retrofitted from combustion models. Low emissions and low operating cost meet the environmental and energy expectations overseas customers now treat as baseline; in settings where every vertical meter carries a cost, the electric high-density approach answers both "save space" and...
