DJJ Equipment received the Annual Forklift Top Seller Award and Rising Star Award at Hangcha's 4th Global Dealers Conference in Hangzhou, China.
Held on 10-11 November 2026, the conference brought together Hangcha's international dealer network as the manufacturer celebrated its 70th anniversary. DJJ Equipment CEO Terry Du represented the company and shared its experience of developing the Australian business in partnership with Hangcha.
For DJJ, the awards are a welcome recognition of the work carried out by its team, the trust of its customers and the support of its manufacturing partner.
Two Awards Recognise DJJ Equipment's Progress
The Annual Forklift Top Seller Award and Rising Star Award mark an important milestone for DJJ Equipment.
As an authorised Hangcha dealer in Australia, DJJ has continued to expand its presence, develop its capabilities and support customers with equipment and local service.
Reflecting on the recognition, Terry thanked the people who have contributed to that progress.
"A sincere thank you to our customers for their trust, to the DJJ team for their dedication, and to Hangcha for their continued support and partnership," he said in his reflection on the conference.
"These awards are an encouraging recognition of what we've achieved together, but we believe we're still at the beginning of our journey."
Sharing Australian Market Experience with Global Dealers
The conference gave dealers an opportunity to exchange experiences from their local markets. Hangcha also recognised its partners' achievements in sales and customer service.
In his address, Terry described DJJ's approach to growth: acting quickly, learning continuously and building with the long term in mind.
He also outlined what DJJ values in a manufacturing partnership. Competitive products are essential, but so are reliable people, responsive communication and a shared commitment to supporting the market.
For a dealer working directly with customers, the ability to discuss challenges and find practical solutions matters. Close cooperation allows local feedback to reach the manufacturer and helps the dealer better understand the products it supplies.
Terry's message was that both sides have a role to play. Hangcha contributes manufacturing and product development capabilities, while DJJ brings Australian customer understanding, practical feedback and continued investment in the local market.
Strengthening Local Forklift Sales and Service in Australia
DJJ's Australian operations bring together equipment sales, hire, servicing and parts support through its teams in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
During his address, Terry explained that developing the business involves more than increasing equipment sales or opening additional locations. It also means building teams that take responsibility and provide consistent support.
Customers need an equipment supplier they can turn to after delivery. Advice on operation, access to parts and forklift servicing and repairs all contribute to that relationship.
As DJJ prepares for further expansion, developing those local capabilities remains a priority. The aim is to support growth with people, knowledge and service arrangements that customers can continue to rely on.
Exploring Electric Forklifts and Intelligent Material Handling
Factory tours and product demonstrations gave conference participants a closer look at Hangcha's latest developments.
The programme included new electric counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks and the LINGTRA range of intelligent forklift robots.
These developments connect with opportunities Terry discussed in his address, including electrification, smarter equipment and wider market coverage in Australia.
His focus was on how technology performs in practice. New equipment needs to suit the customer's application and be supported by the knowledge and service required to use it effectively. That applies across DJJ's new electric forklifts, which run from compact 3-wheel models at 0.6 t to XH Series high-voltage trucks rated up to 48 t.
For DJJ, understanding these developments is part of preparing for future customer needs and continuing the exchange of information between manufacturer and dealer.
Continuing to Invest in the Australian Business
Looking ahead, DJJ Equipment plans to continue expanding its Australian network and investing in equipment rental and after-sales service.
The awards provide encouragement for that work. They also offer an opportunity to thank the customers, employees and partners who have helped the business move forward.
DJJ will continue building its relationship with Hangcha while developing the local teams and capabilities needed to support Australian customers.
Its operations are supported by branches in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, providing equipment sales, hire, servicing and parts support.
