As parents, our educational concept is also changing. How to let children develop labor habits, cultivate labor literacy and obtain labor interest has become a compulsory course for parents.
It is said that many young people rely on takeout for a long time because they can't cook. When they can't order takeout during the epidemic, they eat instant noodles for more than ten days. It's really bad to see such news. I hope they can eat their own meals as soon as possible, learn to survive, grow actively and live a happy life. I also hope that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible.
Here are the hot news events of this week (may 1-May 7, 2022) for your reference. This hot news event only represents Xiaobian's views on this week's events. After collection and sorting, it will be shared with industry partners. I hope more like-minded partners will pay attention to the development of the industry with us.

Hangcha forklift reconstructs the imagination of material handling
According to the World Association for industrial vehicle Statistics (WITS), 2.34 million material handling equipment were ordered in 2021. Although still in the epidemic stage, orders in the industry increased by 43% compared with the previous year. Of these 2.34 million, 68.8% (1.61 million) are electric forklifts. Electric forklifts are becoming more and more popular among consumers because orders in this field have increased by 54.8% over the previous year. Today, with the substantial increase of orders, when consumers have been unable to use electric forklifts like internal combustion engine forklifts in the past, how can they prove that it is reasonable to order electric forklifts?
In 2015, Hangcha group began to research and develop lithium battery technology to solve this problem. Hangcha cooperated with catl (Ningde times), the world's leading lithium battery manufacturing company, to design material handling equipment around lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery technology. This technology brings more key advantages to material handling equipment than lead-acid powered forklift.
The advantages of lithium technology include:
-Fast charging
-Random charging
-Longer running time
-Maintenance free battery pack
-Zero emission
Hangcha realized that the material handling equipment manufactured around this specific chemical composition of lithium iron phosphate battery will eventually provide consumers with electric forklifts with performance similar to internal combustion forklifts.
