The reporter walked into the No. 21 plant of Sany Changsha Industrial Park located in Changsha Economic and Technological Development Zone, Hunan Province. Precise forking, smooth movement, and high-level stacking... Several unmanned electric counterbalanced forklifts independently developed by Sany Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sany Robotics") are handling materials in an orderly manner. "Traditional manually operated electric forklifts over 6 meters will produce blind spots in vision and pose safety hazards. But this unmanned electric forklift, with a load-bearing capacity of 2 tons and a stack height of up to 5 layers, is gradually being applied to multiple logistics and warehousing scenarios." Jiang Taisi, director of Sany Robotics Light Forklift General Institute, said that despite the small size of forklifts, it is a sub-product in the market capacity of construction machinery second only to excavators.
SANY Robotics, established in 2020, is the driving force for the development of intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation of SANY Group. It has built two lighthouse factories in the global heavy industry. "After accumulating practical experience in lighthouse factories, we found that the benchmark lighthouse factory cannot do without the efficient operation of production logistics." Xu Pengfei, chairperson of SANY Robotics, said that the development of the material handling field has long been constrained by two major problems. First, the high pollution, high energy consumption and high noise problems caused by traditional fuel forklifts. Second, due to technical limitations, electric forklifts and other extreme working conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, high dust and heavy load, there are generally problems such as insufficient power, poor adaptability and battery life anxiety.
