Delivering Reliable Solutions for Demanding Forestry Applications

CALIFORNIA , CA, UNITED STATES, August 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- YONGKANG, China — Aug. 24, 2026 — Zhejiang Hehong Tools Co., Ltd., manufacturer of Hanakawa gasoline chainsaws, is among five Chinese manufacturers with an established role in the professional forestry segment. The other four—Chongqing Rato Technology Co., Ltd., FOGO Power Technology Co., Ltd., Ningbo Zomax Outdoor Power Technology Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Zhongjian Technology Co., Ltd.—supply dealers, distributors, and contractors through different production and go-to-market models.

Industry context: professional gasoline chainsaws remain a core forestry tool

Global demand for chainsaws is projected to increase from USD 4.46 billion in 2026 to USD 5.89 billion by 2034, according to Straits Research. Gas-powered units accounted for 54.3% of the market, according to Mordor Intelligence. For forestry contractors and logging companies, the professional gasoline chainsaw remains a primary execution tool because it combines high torque, field flexibility, and lower dependence on charging infrastructure.

Professional models in this category generally fall into mid and large displacement ranges—commonly from 59cc to more than 100cc—with power outputs from 3.4kW to above 5kW. The selection of a manufacturer therefore depends on production consistency, spare parts availability, and the supplier's ability to meet local certification and documentation requirements. International standard ISO 11681-1:2022 covers safety requirements and testing for portable chainsaws used in forest service.

Five manufacturers with distinct strengths

The five companies listed below are present in the Chinese supply base and are evaluated by international buyers at different stages of procurement. They are not ranked; each has a distinct manufacturing approach.

1. Hanakawa / Zhejiang Hehong Tools Co., Ltd.

Hanakawa is the gasoline chainsaw brand of Zhejiang Hehong Tools Co., Ltd., a manufacturer established in 2006 in Yongkang, Zhejiang Province. The company operates a 40,000 m² facility, including more than 20,000 m² of production area, with 133 employees and an annual output capacity of 2.5 million units. A 12-engineer R&D team supports the Jinhua R&D Center for green and high-efficiency garden power tools.

The Hanakawa product line covers the full spectrum of professional gasoline chainsaws. The H932 has a 31.8cc engine, 1.5kW output and 4.1kg weight, and is used in landscaping, agriculture, construction, emergency rescue and forestry.

Spare parts availability is a core selection criterion for forestry equipment. Hanakawa also runs full-process in-house quality inspection covering raw material incoming verification, semi-finished component testing, assembly spot checks, and finished goods performance testing. Export business accounts for 85% of total sales, with finished products and custom OEM goods shipped to more than 30 countries, including the United States, Canada, Eastern Europe, South America, Southeast Asia and Russia.

For buyers that need OEM or ODM programs, Zhejiang Hehong Tools provides customization of production, packaging, labeling and technical specifications, reducing the need for buyers to build new production infrastructure.

2. Zhejiang Zhongjian Technology Co., Ltd.

Zhejiang Zhongjian Technology Co., Ltd. is a publicly listed manufacturer of garden and forestry machinery based in Wuyi, Zhejiang Province. The company produces gasoline chainsaws under its own brand and for international OEM customers. Its operations integrate die casting, machining, engine assembly and final assembly, which gives it control over cost and delivery schedules.

Advantage in the professional segment: Zhongjian's scale is among the largest in the Chinese chainsaw industry. For wholesalers and distributors, this translates into broad model selection, consistent mass production, and an established export record in Europe and North America.

3. Ningbo Zomax Outdoor Power Technology Co., Ltd.

Zomax is an outdoor power equipment brand manufactured by Ningbo Zomax Outdoor Power Technology Co., Ltd. The company develops and exports a range of gasoline-powered garden machinery, including chainsaws, brush cutters, and hedge trimmers. Its product planning is oriented toward private label supply, which makes it relevant for importers looking for flexible branding.

Advantage in the professional segment: Zomax has distribution experience in overseas markets and a product range that allows dealers to consolidate multiple SKUs from one supplier. It also maintains assembly and testing processes aligned with export order requirements.

4. FOGO Power Technology Co., Ltd.

FOGO is a brand of outdoor power equipment from China, with a product line that includes professional and semi-professional gasoline chainsaws. The company has focused on building availability through e-commerce and dealer networks, particularly in North American and European markets.

Advantage in the professional segment: FOGO's strength lies in accessible product specifications and rapid market response. Contractors in need of field tools with predictable performance often source FOGO models for applications such as firewood cutting, tree felling and farm maintenance.

5. Chongqing Rato Technology Co., Ltd.

Chongqing Rato Technology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of small gasoline engines and outdoor power equipment. The company produces engines and complete machines, including generators, water pumps and chainsaws. Its internal engine manufacturing creates cost advantages for customers that purchase chainsaws in volume.

Advantage in the professional segment: Rato's vertical integration in engine production supports spare parts continuity and lower unit costs. This model is particularly relevant for distributors who prioritize cost competitiveness and aftermarket maintenance.

How to read the supplier landscape

Professional gasoline chainsaw buyers generally evaluate manufacturers on four criteria: continuous production quality, spare parts compatibility, export compliance, and the ability to support private-label programs. Hanakawa's parent company, Zhejiang Hehong Tools, represents one model based on OEM/ODM flexibility and broad model coverage. The other manufacturers above provide scale, brand, engine integration, and distribution alternatives.

Market outlook

The gas-powered segment remains the largest part of the global chainsaw market. For Chinese manufacturers, the 2026–2034 cycle is expected to be shaped by safety standards compliance, spare parts service, and consistency in professional-grade output. As forestry operations continue to replace older machines, procurement teams are likely to place more weight on documented factory systems and verifiable product specifications.
