Lonking Forklifts: Exclusive Dealer and Distributor

Lonking Holdings Limited is a Chinese construction and materials handling manufacturer based in Shanghai, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under stock code 03339. Alongside forklifts it builds wheel loaders, excavators, road rollers and skid steer loaders.

The Lonking LG15–LG35BVI electric counterbalance range covers 1,500–3,500 kg with lead-acid or lithium-ion battery options, a 500 mm load centre and a standard maximum lifting height of 3,000 mm. The design uses a sunken battery and an overhead rear axle for stability, with side-panel battery access for maintenance.

Indoor work, mixed shifts, clean floors. Start with the LG B or LG BE electric ranges, covering 1,500 kg to 5,000 kg.

Heavier, and lithium. The CPD ESL Li-Ion range goes to 10,000 kg. Ask us about charging infrastructure before you order: the answer depends on your supply.

Yard work, loading bays, rough ground. Diesel LG DT at 2,500–3,500 kg, or LP gas LG GLT over the same band if you need to run indoors part of the day.

Pallet movement, no lifting height. The F15 powered pallet truck at £875.

Lonking hire starts at £88 per week, ex VAT.

There is no minimum hire period. You can hire a machine for a day. The minimum charge is one week at the weekly rate. That applies across all our equipment, not just Lonking.

If a hired machine does not work, you get your money back. We will also send an engineer out to fix it, and put a prop-up machine in if we judge that it is needed.

We hold used Lonking trucks, and the vast majority of our used trucks come off our own hire fleet, machines we have maintained ourselves and have the history for.

Every used machine is thoroughly inspected against our standards before it is signed off for a customer. Refurbishment is available if you want the machine brought up further. Used machines are always supplied with a current thorough examination.

We deliver nationwide. The transport fee depends on where you are.

On new and used Lonking machines we offer:

• Outright purchase
• Lease purchase
• Contract hire
• Operating lease

More on leasing and contract hire.

We stock Lonking parts.

• Servicing from £90. Comprehensive and planned maintenance contracts are both available.
• Thorough examinations from £135. We hold current CFTS accreditation, which means one examination and one report covering both LOLER and PUWER, rather than two visits. We examine machines we did not supply, access equipment and MEWPs, and lifting accessories such as slings, chains, forks and attachments.
• Callout. We run a callout number and an engineer can attend straight away where necessary. Callout and travel charges apply.

Our accreditations: CFTS, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, UKMHA, SafeContractor, RTITB, JOSCAR and Cyber Essentials.

We are RTITB accredited and run training with nine in-house instructors. Certified forklift operator training is £360.
