What the driver sees
The instrument panel carries an hour meter, fuel gauge, water temperature gauge, charging indicator and oil pressure warning, and a neutral position switch stops the engine starting in gear. There is room under the bodywork to reach the service parts.
Checking a used LG DT or GLT
Read the hour meter, start the truck from cold and watch the oil pressure and charging lamps go out. Check the mast chains, fork heels and tyres, look under the truck for leaks, and on the LPG model check the gas hoses and bottle bracket. Our engineers inspect every used Lonking before sale.
Supply, hire and training
As Lonking’s exclusive dealer and distributor we supply the LG DT and GLT new with the mast you need. Diesel and LPG forklifts are available on hire and lease; ask us which models are available now. We run counterbalance forklift training at our centres and on customers’ sites.
Tell us the load, the lift height and the site, and we will say which LG DT / GLT fits, new, used or on hire.
