The top 10 is as follows:
1. Toyota (including BT, Cesab and Raymond)
2. Kion (including Linde, Fenwick, Still, OM, Baoli, Voltas and Egemin Automation)
3. Jungheinrich
4. Nacco (including Hyster, Yale and Utilev)

8. UniCarriers (including Atlet, Nissan, TCM)

List not exhaustive
The full list comprises 31 brands, but does not include all forklift truck suppliers. This is because DHF Intralogistik only includes suppliers with a minimum turnover of 10 million euros. Furthermore, some manufacturers do not disclose their figures, which means they are also excluded from the list.
