In recent years, Wuzhong District has been steadfast in attracting investment, projects, talent, and innovation, always adhering to the service philosophy of "responding to every call and closing the loop on every matter," and continuously creating the optimal business environment with maximum effort, sincerity, and practical measures to provide precise and efficient full-lifecycle services for enterprises to take root and grow stronger in Wuzhong. A special column focusing on quality enterprises has been established to highlight the vivid practices of innovative development among outstanding enterprises in Wuzhong.
Recently, Suzhou Pioneer Logistics Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. (Zowell Intelligent Forklift), an enterprise based in Wuzhong, received three industry standard drafting certificates for narrow aisle industrial vehicles issued by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Vehicles. According to the National Standards Information Public Service Platform, the industry standards JB/T 15163-2025 "Three-Way Stacking Forklifts," JB/T 15162-2025 "Bi-Directional and Multi-Directional Operating Forklifts," and JB/T 15091-2025 "Forklift Attachments — Three-Way Attachments," for which Zowell Intelligent Forklift served as one of the participating drafting units, were officially released in 2025 and will be implemented successively from 2025 to March 2026.
As one of the drafting units for the above three standards, Zowell actively provided professional technical support for the formulation of the standards, fully contributing its years of frontline project experience in the narrow aisle forklift sector to help promote the safe and orderly development of the industry. The acquisition of these three industry standard drafting certificates represents solid recognition of the company's technical strength by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Vehicles and industry experts.
The two complete vehicle industry standards, "Three-Way Stacking Forklifts" and "Bi-Directional and Multi-Directional Operating Forklifts," both belong to the narrow aisle forklift product family. Their release and implementation will further standardize the basic parameters, technical requirements, and test methods for the manufacturing of corresponding forklift categories, while also specifying inspection rules, markings, accompanying documents, and transportation and storage requirements, providing authoritative basis for user selection and quality evaluation. "Forklift Attachments — Three-Way Attachments" focuses on the core component of three-way stacking forklifts — the three-way attachment — and establishes unified specifications for the technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and markings of attachments, further solidifying the safety and quality foundation of narrow aisle equipment from the component level.
In the field of logistics equipment, narrow aisle forklifts were once a technical challenge. In the past, narrow aisle forklifts had extremely high technical content and process requirements, and the domestic market long relied on imports from Europe and America. This situation not only limited the development of the domestic logistics industry but also left enterprises constrained in terms of cost and supply. Zowell Intelligent Forklift has deeply cultivated the narrow aisle forklift track for many years, having completed multiple technological accumulations and series product layouts. The company's VNA narrow aisle forklift series products not only hold a leading position in the domestic market but have also achieved a lifting height of 18 meters for narrow aisle forklifts, making it the first domestic enterprise to raise the lifting height of man-up three-way forklifts to over 18 meters. The independently developed high-strength mast structure, intelligent anti-sway system, and high-precision control technology ensure that the equipment maintains stability at heights above 18 meters, completely breaking through foreign technological barriers, greatly improving warehouse space utilization, and solving industry pain points such as low storage space utilization and low operational efficiency. It has become a benchmark product in its niche segment, earning a place for China's logistics equipment industry in the international market.
In addition, Zowell's launch of the first domestic multi-directional reach forklift suitable for 5-ton and the recently launched 8-ton heavy-duty long material handling models also achieved a major leap in the narrow aisle track with multiple innovative patented technologies, resolving logistics pain points such as indoor and outdoor transfer of extra-long and heavy materials, significant safety hazards, and low efficiency. To date, Zowell's various products and solutions have been exported to more than 120 countries and regions worldwide. Not long ago, Zowell's narrow aisle forklift combination solution was successfully implemented in a logistics warehouse in Southeast Asia. Four VUE units serve a large warehouse with 12 aisles, and one RRE unit serves an independent small warehouse. After the new equipment was put into operation, the warehouse capacity in the same area increased from 3,500 pallets to 5,000 pallets, a growth of approximately 40%, while inventory management and picking efficiency for multi-category goods were systematically improved.
The successive implementation of the three industry standards marks another important milestone for Zowell Intelligent Forklift on its standardization path. The company will continue to base itself on intelligent logistics equipment, leverage its rich experience in the logistics industry, and with its technical talent team as the cornerstone, deeply explore innovative technologies in the forklift industry and actively participate in standardization work, continuously empowering the maintenance of industry order and the promotion of high-quality development in the industrial vehicle industry.
