Headquartered in Tlalnepantla de Baz, Estado de México, the company offers a comprehensive material handling equipment portfolio covering electric lithium-battery forklifts (capacities from 0.8 to 18 tonnes), internal combustion forklifts (1 to 46 tonnes), narrow-aisle reach trucks, AGVs, reach stackers, towing tractors, order pickers, aerial work platforms, and telescopic handlers. Sales are diversified across 21 industry verticals — including automotive, food and beverage, mining, maritime ports, petrochemical, aerospace, government and military, and renewable energy — with stated nationwide service coverage across all Mexican states and emergency support from a Tlalnepantla-based parts and warehouse facility.

The underlying technology backbone rests on Heli's lithium-ion battery platform with a 5-year warranty, opportunity and fast charging enabling three-shift operation, and sealed maintenance-free cells; the proprietary Heli Fleet Management telematics system for operator identification, usage tracking, and accident reporting; automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for smart factory and warehouse applications; EX-series explosion-proof equipment for hazardous environments; and hydrogen fuel cell forklifts for renewable energy operations. Anhui Heli holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and CE certifications. Parts are sourced from the Heli factory in Hefei, China and the Heli parts warehouse in Atlanta, USA, then distributed nationally from Tlalnepantla.

The business model combines one-time equipment sales with recurring parts supply, preventive and corrective maintenance under customized fleet policies, DC3 operator certification training authorized by Mexico's Secretariat of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS), and logistics consulting. Pricing is fully quote-based with no public list prices. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a growing sub-distributor network, with a sales team providing personalized equipment selection advisory. End customers range from maquiladoras and automotive assembly plants to the Mexican Army, state-owned enterprises, ports, and large multinational manufacturers operating across Mexico's industrial corridors.
