HANGCHA Unveils LINGTRA AI-Fork Robots

In a significant reveal at HANGCHA's 4th Global Dealer Conference held in Hangzhou, China, the leading forklift manufacturer showcased its innovative LINGTRA AI-Fork robots. Attended by approximately 500 dealers from over 100 countries, the conference celebrated HANGCHA's 70th anniversary with the theme "Move Smarter, Go Further" and aimed to foster a collaborative future with its partners.

From 2019 to 2025, HANGCHA saw impressive growth, with annual forklift sales rising from 138,000 units to 334,000 and revenue doubling from 8.9 billion RMB to 17.7 billion RMB. The company's commitment to innovation is evident from its beginnings in 1974, during which it has produced over 2.8 million industrial vehicles. This growth has been spurred further by its successful network of dealers who connect its products to customers around the world.

The conference featured an elaborate exhibition space, HANGCHA Carnival, which extended over 12,000 square meters and housed cutting-edge technology displays. Among the highlights were five models of the LINGTRA series. Powered by HANGCHA's LogiMind AI technology, these robots exhibit advanced capabilities in understanding their operational environment and tasks, allowing them to plan movements and adapt to changes in real-time. An impressive demonstration showcased an autonomous forklift loading 14 pallets onto a truck in just about 20 minutes, signifying a leap in efficiency and automation in material handling.

Additionally, HANGCHA introduced a new line of counterbalance electric forklifts and a pair of innovative series X reach trucks, underlining its commitment to enhancing productivity through technology. Li Yuansong, Deputy General Manager of HANGCHA Group, expressed gratitude towards the dealers, emphasizing the pivotal role of excellent service alongside product quality in gaining customer trust and satisfaction.

Responding to the insights shared by dealers about customer needs and service effectiveness, HANGCHA announced plans to enhance spare parts supply, provide localized technical service, and invest in personnel training to better serve its clientele. The conference underscored the essential contributions of HANGCHA’s partners in driving market development and customer support initiatives.

Looking ahead to 2030, HANGCHA aims to develop environmentally friendly equipment and intelligent logistics solutions, with plans to invest over 2 billion RMB in a modern forklift and intelligent reach truck manufacturing facility set to commence operations in 2030. Limin Zhao, President of HANGCHA Group, reinforced the company's strategic direction towards technology, highlighting its commitment to advancing autonomous forklifts and intelligent logistics alongside its core industrial vehicle operations.

As HANGCHA continues to push technological boundaries, it is poised not just to enhance its product and service offerings but also to solidify its goal of becoming the world’s leading logistics equipment manufacturer. Collaborative efforts with global partners will drive these innovations, fostering a forward-thinking industry landscape to benefit customers around the globe.
