Author: Le Van Thang, CEO of ICD Vietnam – distributing Xilin forklifts since 2010.
ICD Vietnam is the exclusive distributor of Xilin (Ningbo Ruyi Joint Stock Co., Ltd) material-handling equipment, a leading Chinese forklift brand built to CE and ISO 9001:2015 standards. The range covers low-profile hand pallet trucks (2-5 tonne), high-lift hand stackers (lift 1.6-5.5 m), electric forklifts (1.5-2 tonne, 8-hour battery) and hydraulic lift tables (500-2,000 kg). Every machine carries a genuine 2-year warranty with spare parts stocked in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Move loads on plastic pallets and protect them with packaging supplies.
Choose a Xilin forklift when:
- Production and logistics warehouses: low-profile hand pallet trucks move 2-3 tonne pallets fast, need no power source and cost the least to run.
- High-bay racking, multi-tier storage: high-lift hand stackers reach 5.5 m at 500-1,000 kg with precise positioning.
- High-intensity, multi-shift production: electric forklifts run 8 hours continuously and cut operator effort by up to 80%.
1. The Xilin forklift range at ICD
ICD distributes the full Xilin line, covering every warehouse need from basic horizontal transport to high-bay stacking. Pick the line by load, lift height and working environment:
| Hand Pallet Trucks | Low-Profile Hand Pallet Trucks | High-Lift Hand Pallet Trucks |
| Electric Forklifts | Hydraulic Lift Tables | Used Hand Pallet Trucks |
Quick decision framework:
- Move pallets horizontally, no lifting needed – Xilin BF-III/DF-III hand pallet trucks, 2-3 tonne, the most common warehouse choice.
- Containers, low floors, heavy long-haul loads – heavy-duty low-profile trucks 3-5 tonne, 85 mm ultra-low forks for easy container entry.
- Stack onto racking 1.6-5.5 m – SDJ/CDD high-lift stackers, 500-1,000 kg, precise tier-by-tier lift.
- Multi-shift plants, no manual effort – CBD electric forklifts, 24 V 8-hour battery, 1.5-2 tonne.
- Tight budget or seasonal need – inspected used Xilin trucks, saving 30-50%.

3. One brand, one parts supply – why that matters
Most warehouses end up running a mixed fleet: a hand truck from one source, a stacker from another, a used import from a third. The hidden cost shows up two years later, when each machine needs a different seal kit, a different wheel, a different battery connector, and no single supplier holds them all. Downtime then depends on import lead time, not on a phone call.
Running a single Xilin fleet through ICD removes that. The hydraulic seal, the polyurethane wheel and the 24 V charger are common across the BF-III, DF-III and CBD lines, so the parts that wear are the parts we stock locally in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. One brand also means one operator-training standard and one warranty contact for the whole fleet – the 2-year genuine cover applies to every machine, not just the newest one. Match the line to the job below; we size the exact model to your pallets, floor and shift pattern.
4. Which Xilin line fits your industry
| Industry | Recommended Xilin line | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Logistics / 3PL | BF-III 2-3T + CBD electric | Fast pallet moving, high intensity, low maintenance |
| Manufacturing | CBD 2T electric + SDJ stacker | Multi-shift work, less fatigue, internal rack stacking |
| Supermarket / retail | CBD 1.5T electric walkie | Narrow aisles, runs in business hours, no noise |
| Ports / export | DF-III 5T heavy-duty | Heavy pallets, containers, uneven floors |
| Cold storage / food | BF-III 3T (PU wheels) + CBD electric | PU wheels handle sub-zero, electric emits no exhaust |
| Construction / materials | DF-III 5T + BF-III 3T | Heavy loads, rough floors, no power needed |
| Pharmaceutical / medical | CBD electric + CDD stacker | Clean warehouse, no emissions, precise high-rack stacking |
5. Sizing checklist – 5 questions before you buy
1. What is the heaviest load, in kg?
The actual load should sit at least 10% below the rated capacity. A 2.7-tonne pallet means a BF-III 3T, not 2T; regular 4-5 tonne loads need the DF-III 5T.
2. How high do you need to lift?
If you only raise a pallet 15-20 cm to move it, a hand pallet truck is enough. To place goods on racking above 1 m you need a high-lift stacker (SDJ/CDD) or an electric truck.
3. How narrow is the aisle?
Measure your tightest working aisle. Reach trucks and stand-up riders work in 2-2.5 m; a 4-wheel counterbalance needs about 3.5 m. Under-measuring the aisle is the most common sizing error.
4. How many shifts and how intense?
Single day shift on flat floors – a manual or basic electric truck. Two or three continuous shifts – an electric model (lithium for opportunistic charging) pays back in saved labour.
5. Indoor or outdoor, and what floor?
Indoor, food or pharma – electric (zero exhaust). Outdoor yards and rough floors – heavy-duty manual DF-III. Match the wheel (PU for epoxy, nylon for concrete) to the surface.
6. Frequently asked questions

3. What warranty and parts support do I get?
A genuine 2-year warranty, with spare parts stocked in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for fast turnaround.
4. Do you supply used Xilin trucks?
Yes – inspected, serviced used hand pallet trucks that save 30-50% versus new, suited to tight budgets and seasonal demand.
