Hangcha Shows AI Forklifts, Plans Smart Factory for 2030
Hangcha presented five LINGTRA AI-Fork robots at its global dealer conference. The company also outlined plans for greener equipment and a new smart factory expected to begin operations in 2030.
Hangcha introduced five LINGTRA AI-Fork robots at its global dealer conference in Hangzhou. The machines run on the company's LogiMind industrial embodied AI model. According to Hangcha, they can read their surroundings and tasks, plan movements, and adjust to changes on site.
The company also showed a new electric counterbalance forklift series and two X Series reach trucks. Separately, Hangcha said it aims to raise more than RMB 2 billion for a smart factory making intelligent forklifts and reach trucks. It expects the plant to start operations in 2030.
For equipment buyers, ask whether the AI-Fork robots can be trialed on your own workflows before purchase. Ask how LogiMind handles exceptions and what local service and parts support will be available. For the planned factory, ask how it may affect lead times and model availability after 2030.
