What Lonking makes
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 (source: lonkinggroup.com).
Lonking describes its LG15–LG35BVI electric range as a "Balanceweight Type Forklift Truck With Battery", covering 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 (source: Lonking LG15/18/20/25/30/35BVI product page).

Which Lonking do you need?
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.

Pallet movement, no lifting height. The F15 powered pallet truck at £875.
Hiring a Lonking
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.
Buying used Lonking
Eight of our 30 Lonking units are used. Across the whole business we hold around 302 used machines, 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 certificate.
We deliver nationwide. The transport fee depends on where you are.
Finance
On new and used Lonking machines we offer:
- Outright purchase
- Lease purchase
- Contract hire
- Operating lease
Finance is arranged through a third-party funder.
Parts, service and thorough examinations
We stock Lonking parts.
- Servicing from £90. Comprehensive and planned maintenance contracts are both available.

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.
